Testimonials:
“Leaving with eagerness to put onto practice some of the techniques I have learned. Particularly I am interested in stopping doing ‘busy work’ and starting doing ‘real work’. Very valuable indeed.”
Jose Mendez, Upstream Connections Ltd.
“I am surprised at the inspiration I have got from the seminar, even though I have read DIT several times.”
Victoria Love
“Very rewarding and satisfying seminar. If you change your mind about audio presentations I’ll be very interested! Good, succinct methods to practise and perfect.”
Stella Felix
“As well as being informative and teaching me your methods, it’s given me more to do now but hopefully these will all be things to benefit me and my business.”
Alan Jenkinson, Waterfront Manufacturing
“Enormously helpful to put my work life back on track and ways to be more efficient and effective and perform more ‘real work’”.
Neil Davis, Best Accountancy Services LLP
“Very informed and personal. Some practical exercises I can take away and use.”
John Best, Best Accountancy Services LLP
“Amongst the most worthwhile uses you can make of a day that you’re not able to spend outdoors. Mark Forster has genuine insight and wisdom, in contrast to the many impractical and complex ‘systems’ on offer. Superb.”
Perry Duke, Head of Finance Control Division, DEFRA, www.perryduke.org
“A good way to crystalise the book. Now I have consolidated Do It Tomorrow I am looking forward to applying it.”
Aaron Pascoe
“Great value, really good to be able to bring the fantastic ideas in the book to life”.
Iain Gray, Win More Clients www.winmoreclients.co.uk
“I am optimistic that I will implement the DIT structure. Many useful ideas”.
Pauline Hay
“Very useful in terms of learning about practically applying the DIT system”.
Frank Wessely
“It was very good to meet you and pick at my own personal issues with keeping going on the DIT system.”
Mark Jameson
“I have a much better understanding of the process and procedures having been on the course. I found the team sessions and inter discussions very informative.”
Alister Mc Kinnon Clark
“Practical, step-by-step solutions to get back on track and keep all my business and personal commitments.”
Scott Allison, Access Business Communications, www.callabc.co.uk
“Excellent exploration of the principles and how to make them work effectively in one’s own context/role/environment.”
Nick Garring
“Very helpful to recap on the book and to share ideas and difficulties with other people who have read/written the book. It’s now down to me to implement and I am pleased that the day has given me fresh motivation to continue.”
Jackie Brazier
“Great seminar - audit concept much clearer. Would like less explanation of what’s in the book and more orientation on customer needs/visions.”
Niall Jaggan
“Very useful - was good to go back to the principles of the book. Also found discussions and exercises very helpful. Like the setting - makes a nice change.”
Stephanie Lewis
“Encouraging, clear, simple, with depth, elegant. I leave positive, optimistic, capable. [Would like] agenda in advance; possibly a pre-course audit exercise to prepare. Agenda a bit tight for one day.”
Brandon Scott-Omenka
“Brilliant! Really good to have the opportunity to consolidate what I learned from the book, to meet other like-minded people and to tackle problems or issue with elements that I needed more help on, and put them into practice to be more efficient. Thank you! P.S. Really good to meet Mark!
Claire Barham
Excellent. Mark is I believe the leading thinker on time management today. His methods work in the real world. The insights on this course were many and each worth the cost of the course alone. There is far more than in the book. Would prefer more on projects and less on coaching (almost a separate topic in its own right).
Charles Tomkins
“Until I discovered ‘Do It Tomorrow’, I always found time management and organisation to be a challenge; there seemed to be too much to do, and not enough time to do it in. Because I run my own business, this often meant I ended up working late, spent little time with my family, and still didn’t feel like I’d achieved much. I’d read every book and tried every tip, but half the time I ended up spending more energy “managing my time” than actually getting on with real work.
“Discovering Mark’s material was like a breath of fresh air - time management which was created for naturally disorganised people. However still I wasn’t convinced that a seminar could offer me any more than I had learned from his books, until my wife persuaded me go to along in October 2007.
“I’m really glad I did! Actually going through the system step-by-step with Mark and having the chance to ask questions really brought it to life, and enabled me to really “own” the techniques. A year later, I’m still seeing the benefits of using a time management system I can stick to. My life feels a lot more balanced, and I enjoy my work a lot more.
“I’d urge anyone who struggles with getting through their task list during the day to go to one of Mark’s seminars. It’s probably the best investment in yourself that you’ll make this year.”
