Time management training course testimonials
A highly engaging and very practical workshop which provided me (a self-professed, highly organised individual) with new strategies. Thank you! Lynne is very knowledgeable and obviously very skilled at facilitating such sessions. Her warm, friendly and respectful nature kept me engaged.
Working for two managers, time management is very important. I feel I have come away with valuable skills. I liked that there was no PowerPoint presentation. Graham was very engaging and didn’t need a screen. Thank you for today. I appreciate it.
Lynne is an excellent facilitator. Factual, knowledgeable, straight to the point and friendly. It was informative and well structured.
Graham was a very knowledgeable and very engaging the whole day. I was really impressed with his delivery and enthusiasm of the material. Thank you for a great day of training! I really appreciate the initial phone call as it helped get an understanding of the business.
Peter is excellent. Facilitator tailored this training perfectly to our work. Strongly recommend this to anyone.
I would recommend anyone to do this course. Got a lot out of the day – Peter is a great presenter.
Mark was a very engaging and open facilitator. He made the day fun with great anecdotes and visual aids. Taught simple but effective strategies to get the most out of both professional and personal life.
This was one of the best sessions I have attended in years – Graham was outstanding and made such a difference! Wonderful session! – Inspired me to look at new habits, reframing and revisiting current methods of time management.
I thoroughly enjoyed the session. It was well presented and all the information can be applied to my role. I am looking forward to managing my time when I return to work.
Graham was brilliant, really engaging day.
Vanessa’s method of delivering the training was excellent and so specific to what goes on here. Her delivery was excellent and she was someone you automatically feel comfortable with. Every person in the training was engaged and took part in discussion, I know from speaking with them that every single person has walked away from the training taking something with them that will help them. It was so great that we didn’t have to sit and work and through a book, we all had a laugh and we saw a side of some people that we would never had seen if we had not all come together.
Lynne had the team thoroughly engaged in our time management training. It was practical and fun and I’m looking forward to seeing how we all respond and build those positive, efficient and effective habits.
Great knowledge by facilitator, kept the course interesting by mixing up the pace with activities. As soon as I finished the course I came back to my desk and started writing lists of my tasks – it has definitely inspired me to rethink the work that I am doing in a day and how I can fit more in. I would definitely recommend the course – even though I thought I was ok at time management, the course helps you better understand how you can make better use of your time.
This course has made me reassess my management skills and style and provide a structure to improve and develop my skills. Justine was very professional, excellent communicator and structured the content in a meaningful and logistic format. Good balance of theory and practice.
I learnt a lot in a very short time. Addressed almost every issue the team could think of. The course was excellent all round!
Excellent, professional and interactive. The course offered tools that can be applied to combat all aspects of time management. I would recommend this course to other organisations. Well done.
Paddy was easy to follow and approachable. I really enjoyed the course and found the discussions particularly valuable. Most of all it has really made me think actively about how I can improve the way I do things. I am excited to implement many of the recommendations.
A great program – Lynne was friendly, knowledgeable and kept us in control. A fantastic program for those who need guidance in time management.
This workshop was a fantastic display and explanation of concepts & tools that I’ll certainly use to improve my effectiveness.
Lynne was an engaging and professional instructor – the day didn't become one where she just read off the power point slides but was one that kept us interested through a variety of presentation styles.
Mark was very entertaining, informative, great examples and enthusiastic. He has a great energy, I feel a lot more invigorated to try these techniques again.
Peter has good knowledge and shared a lot of information. Great information and ideas on how to focus more, multi task and reduce stress.
Many thanks to Peter and the crew at ICML for a great course on Time Management. Understanding the course was easy through real life examples and strategies that are easy to remember and implement.
An extremely informative, well organised, well-structured and presented course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their work productivity and reducing their work related stress.
Peter kept the content interesting and let the group influence where the day went. Some very practical solutions to some very overwhelming problems.
Lynne was clear, dynamic, well-organised and knowledgeable. Very well organised and presented workshop that brought the team together for shared learning opportunities and packed with lots of practical tips.
The program was presented really well by Lynne. She helped us with our time management. Lynne did an excellent job teaching us and I would love to see her again.
Graham is fantastic and the way it is presented is engaging and relatable – will assist with being more effective in my role than just efficient.
I completed this course 3 years ago and chose to do the course with Peter again to refresh. I find his style very informative and delivered with a sense of humour. I would recommend this course.
A great session by Mark that debunked some myths and gave some great tools. It was engaging, interesting and full of learning.
Excellent facilitator. Made to be a teacher! Interactive, relevant, course was tailored and specific to our business.
Thank you Lynne for the great tips. The workshop was very engaging and beneficial. I learnt new techniques and strategies which will be beneficial in managing my workload and time.
After most training I feel like a zombie - after this training a feel like a fire has been lit and a new enthusiasm and optimism toward work and life.
Peter has been excellent keeping the audience attention throughout the whole session. Gained several concepts both theoretical and practical. Provided a lot of practical tools.
I would recommend this to all companies, being able to manage yourself and your time is extremely important. Having the tools to do so is empowering. Graham’s delivery of the course was very engaging, it made the outcome easy to deliver and inviting for people to participate.
I found the Time Management course with ICML extremely useful with many tips that I can use in my role for a long time to come. Peter was very helpful and explained things to us in a simple and easy to understand manner.
Peter kept the content interesting and let the group influence where the day went. Some very practical solutions to some very overwhelming problems.
Mark was informative, interactive, great sense of humour and happy to answer questions. Great!
Engaging, charismatic and knowledgeable. Enjoyed Peter’s various stories and examples and he was very quick to find ways that he could relate content to our workplace. A well planned day with real solutions that can be practically applied.
A great job. Will recommend this workshop for the other two centres. Rob customised the program to the needs of the group. Rob was excellent, read the group, excellent pace and people were engaged.
Mark was a very engaging and open facilitator. He made the day fun with great anecdotes and visual aids. Taught simple but effective strategies to get the most out of both professional and personal life.

It was fantastic! Peter was very professional, engaging and great at facilitating. Extremely useful and I will be implementing tips I learnt from this course in daily life. Definitely recommend it.
Paddy was very informative and friendly with an open dialogue. I can now identify my purpose in my role which has given a clear view of how to identify important tasks. Paddy was very helpful in explaining. Great session. I would recommend it to others.
Paddy is a very knowledgeable and engaging trainer who has an excellent grasp on the subject. .
