About this course:

Dear Learner,
Before we discuss the purpose and the intended outcome of this course, please allow me to thank you for choosing Mudita's School, and to share the story behind its name with you:
"Mudita" is a word from Sanskrit that indicates a particular kind of joy, the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being and prosperity.
Mudita Consultancy aims to provide learners with the "cultural knowledge" that will help them thrive in a globalized environment, and to equip them with the tools to implement the best strategies and growth solutions for their businesses.
At the end of this short course on Time Management - designed for those professionals who seek to improve wok relationships with their employees, colleagues, and business partners through mutual understanding - you will be able to:
- identify and define the differences between linear- and cyclical time;
- explain the origin and the limitations of monochronic time;
- summarize the meaning of "event-related time" and provide relevant examples;
- outline the characteristics of both monochronic- and polychronic cultures;
- evaluate and compare the outcomes of different time orientation in the workplace;
- discuss the link between time orientation and territorial behavior (time- and space management);
- develop a retention plan aimed at keeping both polychronic- and monochronic workers engaged and satisfied with their jobs.
NOTE:
The Bonus Content has been kindly provided by Maitén Panella (psychologist, psychotherapist, consultant).
Hope you'll enjoy the course, and thank you once again for choosing Mudita's School!
