Brain-based Time Management Training
everyone navigates through time differently
Some people start the day with a list – others are too overwhelmed to even make one. Some work efficiently (at least it seems that way) – others rely on deadlines and multitasking to get things done.
Regardless of how employees juggle their workloads, they are all navigating through the day with one common denominator: TIME.
How they manage their time determines their degree of success. And that degree of success could be about something huge such as managing a multi-faceted project – or as simple as completing a small task.
What this training delivers
This is where employees learn the strengths (and weaknesses) of how their unique brains work.
With that knowledge, they are able to hone in on exactly what tools and strategies their brains need to address their specific time management challenges. Here are some of the comments we hear:
- I never feel like I get enough done.
- I don’t have time for the non-urgent tasks.
- I don’t remember things like I used to.
- It’s hard to focus (especially at the end of the day.)
- I’d like to stop thinking about work when I’m at home.

I attended your virtual course yesterday and wanted to tell you what a positive impact it had for me. Today I was just as busy as I have been all week however I felt more organized and less stressed. This time of year is particularly stressful and intense as we wrap up the prior year, prepare annual financial statements, prepare for the annual audit, and still juggle the daily operations. Taking the time for your course was worth every minute, and I am so glad that I am already benefitting from the ideas, tips, and tools presented.

additional reviews
“I just wanted to say thanks to the HR training/education team. This was one of the most useful classes I’ve taken. I would highly recommend offering it again in the future for other employees. One of my employees was with me in the class and also had positive feedback.“
“Great class! HR should offer more trainings that are like this.“
“Would love to take more classes from her.“
“Mary thank you so much for your time, and knowledge. Your class is by far the best I’ve taken through the COCC and County professional development series. I’ve been taking these classes since they started (10 years ago?) and try to do at least one class each session. I was very impressed with the class and tricks that I learned. I can apply it to all aspects of my life – work, family, and my personal life. I only have one problem, that I can’t make other people in my life take the course.“

Client Testimonials
Mary Ellen is wonderful! She created trainings for us that were relevant, engaging, and applicable, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s responsive, organized (of course!), flexible, and really committed to doing excellent work.
We will absolutely work with Mary Ellen again and can’t recommend her highly enough.
Rebecca Koon, Training and Equity Coordinator
Home ForwardThank you so much!!! What I liked most about your class is that you make “time management” manageable. I have only seen a few other videos on time management and they made it all overwhelming. But you make it right. I am a very organized person, but life has become very cluttered the last few years (physical things and mentally) and I have become so overwhelmed. Your class just helped me understand and know I can make my life manageable again 🙂 So I Thank you!!!

Macomb County, MII got a lot out of the class, both for work and home. Mary Ellen clearly explained the class structure so we knew what to expect of the 3 hours class. She explained the complicated topic of brain science in an understandable way, utilized the many styles of learning, visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Included many relatable examples, and offered many different practical & useful tools to try out to help manage your time. I think everyone came away with something they could try!

First American TitleI had the pleasure of working with Mary Ellen Baker on two occasions. First, she participated in our annual NW Conference on Disability Services. Due to the powerful, positive feedback from her session, we decided to collaborate to have an all-day training. Throughout the planning process, Mary Ellen was easy to work with, understanding, and went above and beyond by providing marketing assistance, future connections, and more.
You didn’t need to read the reviews to know people were engaged, well-guided, and filled with practical takeaways. You could see it in the room as people eagerly took notes, asked questions, and utilized her thoughtfulness in meeting different learning styles.
Aside from her expertise, quality teaching, and life-changing material, Mary Ellen is a genuinely joyful and easy-going professional partner to collaborate with. We plan on working with her again!
