Some, to accomplish these task and assignments, use one tool of time management and that is the "To do list”. Despite the use of this tool, at day’s end their list is seldom completed. They find themselves feeling down and somewhat out. They become discouraged and ultimately less productive. This program will eliminate those feelings. Time is a valuable resource. It is a resource that once it is gone it’s gone. You never get it back. You must use it wisely. This program is about taking control of your time and learning how to effectively manage it. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Participants will learn skills to maximize the use of their time including the proper way to utilize a "to do list”. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Topics that will be discussed include: </span></p><ul><li><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Time management - its benefits </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Goal setting - establishing priorities </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Time Wasters and Maximizers </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">How do you cut your pie? </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">A plan for the future&nbsp; </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">The most difficult part of time management Learning the one most important word in time </span></li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Speaker:&nbsp; John Baptista’s </strong><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">experience combines over 35 years in the financial industry, including 30 years in management, and over three decades as a trainer and consultant.

In addition, other contemplated changes include responding to consumer inquiries regarding servicing and escrow accounts, new tolerance levels for estimates, changes in the definition of business day, and so much more. Through this session you will learn the areas where changes are likely to occur so that you may begin the planning process.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>About the Speaker: May Lou Heighes, CUCE, </strong><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">is President and founder of Compliance Plus, Inc.
