Members and guests of the NAPW Los Angeles, CA Local Chapter gathered on March 20th for a professional networking meeting.
The group of professional women heard expert tips and advice about time management from Chapter member Ruth Klein, Creative Brand Strategist and Productivity Coach at The Marketing/Time Source.
Ruth Garcia-Corrales, Los Angeles Local Chapter President, kicked off the dinner meeting by welcoming a number of new members along with other members and guests.
All of the women had the opportunity to introduce themselves and tell the group more about their careers.
The group of professional women represented so many different professions and businesses, said the Chapter President.
We then followed with the Chapters routine roundtable individual introductions.
Chapter Member Ruth Klein, MS, Creative Brand Strategist and Productivity Coach for her business The Marketing/Time Source, was the evenings guest speaker. In her presentation, Ms. Klein focused on how members and guests can achieve better time management and productivity.
Eighty percent of stress is time-induced. What is your biggest drainer? What is your biggest time energizer? Ms. Klein asked the group of professional women as she began her presentation.
Ruth urged those with large time drains to employ another person to take over those duties, said the Chapter President. She told us, Rather than do it yourself, hire someone; delegate!
Ms. Klein listed several such individuals who assisted her on occasion to relieve her of duties that freed her to do her own work: that which energized her. She quoted the 18th century German writer Goethe: . . .Plans: that the moment one commits oneself Providence moves too.
The following are highlights of from Ms. Kleins presentation and the advice she gave to members and guests:
Time tips depend on a shift from I cant-thinking to the belief that you can delegate.
Rule of Two: Prioritize the two most important things, i.e., calls, emails, or things to do.
Divide into parts: One hour of focused time, no calls or other interruptions.
The guest speaker reviewed a number of decision styles including the fence-sitter: One who cant decide. The belief behind this pattern may be feelings of not wanting to make a mistake, not look dumb, and other self-limiting beliefs.
Ms. Klein then spoke about a number of branding archetypes:
Alchemist: Important to make a difference in the world and is very creativeloves the words synchronicity and magic.
Ruler: One who gets things done and helps others to stay focused.
Nurturer: Cares about her clients and needs to be conscious of healthy boundaries.
Ruth also suggested that first thing each day in quiet, we just write our minds outpouring no formality, said the Chapter President.
She called this Morning Papers and said it helps with creativity and problem-solving.
Ms. Klein concluded her presentation by providing members and guests with a number of internet resources for finding assistants.
The Chapter President followed the guest speakers presentation with a number of announcements. She also encouraged the group of professional women to follow the group's meetings and activities on their Chapter and Facebook Pages.
