“Master THE Moment” ... powerful lessons in Time Management

Friday, October 15

Time: 9am-5pm

Place: AmCham Training Center Parc Tertiaire Bois Dieu 6 Allée des Chevreuils 69380 Lissieu

Keynote speaker: Pat Brans

AmCham is pleased to announce the first training module by Pat Brans, “Master THE Moment”.

Until now, no approach to time management and personal effectiveness has been based on empirical data.

“Master THE Moment” is an innovative methodology resulting from a thorough study of 50 of the most successful CEOs of large multinationals. During exclusive discussions, Pat Brans exchanged ideas on personal effectiveness with these high achievers, who not only have an extraordinary ability to make the most of their own time, but also have a unique vantage point from which to observe the performance of thousands of other people.

Based on this study, Pat Brans developed “Master THE Moment” and reveals that the people who accomplish a lot aren’t necessarily smarter than those around them - and they aren’t necessarily putting forth more effort. But they do have different attitudes, and they are more careful about how they use their time.

Session dates: June 24, July 15, September 20, October 15 (2010); January 19 (2011)

Pat Brans has held senior positions with three large organizations (Computer Sciences Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, and Sybase). For the past ten years, his work life has been dedicated to helping people get more done through the use of technology. Now he takes it to another level by unveiling the secrets of high achievers.
