SubjectSuppoRTT (Supported Return to Training)
DescriptionJoin us for a calm and focused online productivity coaching retreat, meticulously crafted for individuals who have witnessed a dip in their productivity and concentration while working from home. This day-long retreat is thoughtfully designed to provide a sanctuary of protected productivity, all while acquiring essential techniques to enhance focus and conquer procrastination. Tailored especially for those grappling with the need to accomplish research, projects, or qualifications within their professional responsibilities, this course eliminates the obstacle of attending an in-person event. Participants are encouraged to bring a task they're eager to work on for the day. This might include reports, portfolio reflections, study sessions, or those lingering to-dos that have remained on a task list day in day out. Productivity in Focus from Home offers a fully immersive learning and developmental experience. Participants are prompted to detach from their routine and consciously recentre on a task, role, or undertaking that may have been postponed or perpetually sidelined. Through collaborative exchanges, participants can openly discuss their productivity hurdles with peers and colleagues, receiving tailored support to cultivate personalised solutions.

“I found the session highly productive as I was able to complete my tasks, achieve my targets in full and remain focussed and on track throughout the sessions; something I usually find very difficult when lone working at home. It really did change the feel of my workplace making it more like a professional setting than a home. For anyone who has the best intentions to work from home but finds it difficult to stay on task this is the course for you. Having this support has been highly effective in supporting me to be as efficient and effective as possible when lone working.”

Judith Green. M.Ed, NPQH FFCCT. Headteacher (Retired). Education consultant.

“Eye opener and empowering. Showing yourself what you're capable of when focused and accountable.”

“This is an opportunity to get things done. I now have less on my to do list which is relaxing. The course is very useful for people who have a habit of putting things off.”

Clinical trainee, NHS East Midlands 2020

“I found this session very helpful to have to think about and decide on tasks to complete in each specified time chunk that throughout the day. This allowed me to be efficient with my time and to have very specific goals to complete and to know when I was going to do what task. I managed to complete a number of tasks from my to do list in a focused pre-determined time frame. It is both satisfying and relieving to have completed tasks that I have been putting off for a while. This course has been a great session on how to achieve goals efficiently.”
