Effectively Managing Your Time and Energy

In the past several years, knowledge workers have embraced technical skills and the realities of blended and remote work. For many, particularly those who are in people-centric sales roles, this new way of working has created new challenges to find ways to relate to customers, to manage their time, but also to manage their own mindset, attitudes and reactions.

In this episode, we speak with sales training expert Bill Walton about his experience as a salesperson, a sales trainer and an executive coach. Bill is the developer of a workshop called Energy Is The New Time, available from AXIOM through a partnership with Zeiberg Consulting. The workshop provides tools and approaches which can be used by anyone - not only people who work in sales - to manage your own energy and to be more present and effective in your workplace, and by doing so better understand and define how your work relates to the demands and recharging effects of both your work and personal life.

The conversation explores the focus on culture, and how the learning team gathers information and outcomes data to understand the needs of the organization. The conversation also highlights a new managers’ learning program which went “viral” within the company, growing beyond the program’s initial scope and reach, driven by internal champions who recognized and advocated for its value and impact.
