Description
Maintaining control in today's hectic workplace is a challenge -- everything is lean, competitive, and uncertain. What does it take to survive? Never Check Email in The Morning is Julie Morgenstern's most important course yet.

Through the mastery of brand-new strategies, Morgenstern shows you how small changes in your thinking and behavior will help you achieve the seemingly impossible -- boost your value, increase your job security, and afford you the time to still have a life. Morgenstern has helped clients of all levels take control of their work lives in every industry: from corporations and nonprofits to government agencies and small businesses; from executives and assistants to educators and salespeople. She's learned that no matter who you are, happiness at work involves feeling appreciated, in control, successful, and in balance. And achieving that is possible.

People rarely look at their jobs from a psychological and practical perspective at the same time, but Julie Morgenstern does. This course mirrors the individual consulting services she provides by showing you how to start with yourself and then tackle the more complex external issues of working relationships and the job. For every obstacle you encounter along the way, Morgenstern diagnoses the source of the problem (is it you or them?), and with insight and warmth, she provides simple grab-and-go strategies. These are small changes anyone can make to improve performance and efficiency at work.

At its core, Never Check Email in The Morning is about your relationship to your job. With the reliable, methodical process taught in this course, you will:
 Feel less trapped and more in charge
 Be able to make a bad situation better
 Search for a job that's a better fit for who you are.

This is a provocative and life-changing course that will help you boost your clarity, confidence, and performance in any economic climate. With Morgenstern's guidance you can find a way to make work work. A sampling of Julie Morgenstern's new Grab-and-Go Strategies:
 Never check e-mail for the first hour of the day. It's addictive and steals your most productive time
 Beware multitasking. Scattering your efforts makes for a longer day.
 Dance close to the revenue line. Making or saving money is where your greatest value lies.
 Crunch your container. Shorten your workday by thirty minutes and you will get more done.
