Business Training
What does THE brain need to manage time well?
In this world of 24/7, we feel compelled to work faster, multitask, and squeeze productivity into every open moment.
Add in the COVID adjustments and by the time the day is done, we’re exhausted and fed up trying to get everything done.
- Do your employees complain about distractions?
- Are they overwhelmed?
- Is it challenging to complete tasks that aren’t “on fire”?
- Can they prioritize effectively – and follow through with their plan?
Empower Your Employees
We’re all wired differently. That’s why time tools and planning techniques work well for some people but not others.
Our trainings are designed to put your employees in the driver’s seat of their time management so they can get things done, deal with distractions and interruptions efficiently, avoid the temptation of multitasking and have greater satisfaction in the workday.
Give them what they need to be successful.

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 ForwardI personally found her science evidence-based approach on how our brain works and how it relates to time management fascinating. My colleagues and myself were engaged throughout the whole session. We were able to go back to work with realistic and effective tools to help better plan and manage our workload. We are already looking forward to the second phase of the time management series next month!

City of PortlandI 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 and useful tools to try out to help manage your time. I think everyone came away with something they could try!
