Learn from executive business coach and mentor Jill Maidment as we explore effective time management, assessing and prioritizing tasks, and aligning daily activities with key objectives. Drawing on the wisdom of Steven Covey, we emphasize the need to schedule priorities rather than simply prioritizing what's already on our schedules.
