Boost your Productivity: Being Busy versus Getting Results!

Date: 18 May 2021
Time: 12:00 am - 12:00 am
Location: Zoom

We are delighted to welcome our guest speaker: Melody Oshiro, the Owner of Organize to Optimize Presenting “Get Ready to be Ready. Get unstuck and take control of your life.”

Melody is a productivity and organizing specialist located on Vancouver Island. She is passionate about helping others realize the many rewards of being organized. As a trainer and business coach, she partners with her clients to determine the physical or digital areas they are stuck, and she provides tools, techniques, training, and solutions to enhance their effectiveness and productivity.

She teaches essential management skills, which provides clients with the abilities and insight they need to: choose the right tasks, the best processes, and the most efficient tools to manage their workloads. The combination of tasks, processes, and tools determines people’s level of effectiveness. Melody believes, a great hammer doesn’t make a great carpenter, but a great carpenter will always want a great hammer! The great carpenter also requires blueprints and plans in order to know - what to do and how to do it.
