Is today's typical working American overworked, underworked, energetic or lazy? The best answer is "none of the above." The root of the time-pressure we feel and the leisure we lack is not "too much work". There are larger, more basic, converging issues. We can handle longer hours; it's everything else competing for our attention that leaves us feeling overwhelmed. Once you are overwhelmed, feeling overworked can quickly follow. You can, however, maintain the pace with grace--even under pressure! This program is action-packed. Jeff lays out Breathing Space strategies and techniques for effectiveness that anyone can quickly master. For any organization seeking highest-level, on-going education. (Presentation materials include Breathing Space book, slides, workbooks, and bonus items.)

Managing Information and Communication Overload was very informative and useful information. I summarized your information plus shared all your handouts with others in my division.

I enjoyed your presentation. It reinforced many practices that are already in place in my life and made me aware of several more that I intend to utilize. Your presentation was well-organized, pertinent to our group and interesting.

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. You give a lot of practical ways to apply your ideas. The two concepts which I really took away with me were the replacement principle and the idea of completion.

Thank you for giving us the most interesting session at the conference last week. It was a joy to listen to you. The knowledge you shared is so true even in our personal lives that I will surely retain it and put it to good use.

I am using your techniques at work and at home -- they do work if you use them! Thank you for the wonderful presentation -- it was packed full of great ideas!

Our management seminar turned out to be one of the best and most informative of past years, and it was due in large part to your one-day management presentation. As expected, your approach was very well suited to our young participants, and we feel that they gained valuable insight. We express our thanks to you for a job well done, and I will certainly think of you next year.

I enjoyed the presentation you made on Saturday. It was as though you were holding a BIG mirror in front of me as so many of the things you were describing I could see in my own behavior. Needless to say, I was impressed with your message as well as your manner and delivery of the presentation. I wish my wife could have been in attendance because I think she too would have found it valuable. . . . I go on vacation during the first two weeks of August and I intend to stay out of touch with the office entirely if at all possible. I do intend to take your book Breathing Space. Thanks for opening my eyes a bit wider!

At last! Someone who practices what they preach. Can't tell you how many times I fielded compliments for "that Jeff Davidson guy!" Thanks for being flexible enough to work with our time emergencies. You were great!
