"I found the Workflow Coaching very helpful and have implemented and continue to use a large number of the techniques recommended by Saul. Tips on managing the email load and clever use of Outlook were particularly helpful, but the whole system is useful and I would recommend it. Saul is patient and encouraging but also prepared to provide a nudge towards more helpful work habits."
- Dr Sally Merry, Associate Professor
"Saul was able to apply a number of key principles that have transformed my work practices and not only made me much more productive and efficient at work but enabled me to be more relaxed and present away from the office as I know all key work elements are on track! Thanks Saul."
- Paul Maguire, Manager Experience and Learning
"Working with Saul has revolutionised my work. I am more effective and feel in control of my work load. My stress levels have decreased considerably. I am better at starting and completing tasks that I did not enjoy doing. This is one of the best professional learning opportunities that I have engaged in. I wish I had worked with Saul years ago. I highly recommend him as a Workflow Coach."
Di Drake, Senior Advisor, Education, Curriculum and Performance (ECP)
"This course has really helped me to manage the amount of workflow that I receive everyday. I now have a more balanced work/life style. I am no longer stressing about the amount of work that needs to be conducted during a week.!"
Shelley Madden, Logistics
"The Workflow Individual Coaching Programme has transformed the way I work. It requires a different way of thinking and doing things. While this was initially difficult it was well supported and reinforced through each of the 3 sessions. I now have simple systems and processes in place for planning, streamlining and more effectively managing and monitoring my work. It is empowering in that it has provided me with greater control over day to day tasks such as emails and meetings as well as bigger project based pieces of work. I also like the way it is holistic and can be applied to both work and personal life."
