European Home Staging Conference & EXPO – LISBON

Not frenzy:

Improve efficiency, free up time and create the environment that will support you. Managing busy lives is a challenge for everyone. Focus Not Frenzy: Time Management for Home Staging Professionals, featuring the Time Management Process is developed by June Carter, a Home Stager for Home Stagers. It is a thought process that will co-exist with the training of actual staging while holistically strengthening the Home Stager’s business and personal life.

One aspect of a Home Stager’s training is finding the path to make it all manageable and still be fun. The Time Management Process aligns priorities by defining the important and the urgent. We frequently fall into the trap of believing that all urgent activities are also important. We are inclined to focus on what is pressing at the moment. The goal is to be motivated when there isn’t a deadline looming. This change is a creative thought process that will grow stronger with use over time.

Through exercises using the course handouts, the attendees will personally create their own time management experience. Real-life examples of Home Staging and hands-on experience make the information in this presentation easy to use and applicable on an ongoing daily basis for Home Stagers

Session Learning Objectives:

After attending this session, participants should be able to

• List five core business and personal values
• Identify the important vs the urgent
• Balance the needs of a busy business and personal life

A unique mix of skill sets allows June Carter to be here with you. June is an entrepreneur, founding Corporate Interior Solutions and GYST* Solutions. She has moved within the worlds of corporations and creativity. Her experience inside major corporations such as AIG, NBC, Steelcase, Knoll and 3form provided June the right forums for problem solving, design and business.
