Are you frequently late? Do you know someone who is? That might be because the person is an “In Time” person. Discover how to gain skills and strategies from Robyn Pearce from overcoming those struggles with host Mike Domitrz. Do you need “Energy” management or “Time” management? STORIES When still a young single mum on government benefits, told I couldn't have a job I was well qualified for because I was 'a single mum and therefore unreliable' (this was well before I'd learnt about respecting time, but it was the defining moment when I said to myself, 'I'll show the &%$#!' I respected/valued myself more highly than the cautious and narrow-minded selection board of 12 worthy town dignitaries. Robyn’s BIO: People always ask me why I teach time management. Well, to put it simply, it’s because I used to be bad at it! Yes I can honestly say I’ve walked in your moccasins. And my path has taken some interesting turns… First I was a librarian, then a farmer’s wife and mother of six (including an intellectually handicapped foster son until he was 16). Following this I ended up a solo mother on government benefit… After a few long years I decided to fight my way out of the poverty trap (dabbling in tourism along the way) and became a very successful real estate agent. Real estate taught me I had to learn better time management skills – or sink! To start with I was kicked out of meetings because I was late. PLUS: I burnt out numerous times from overwork and poor time habits. Frustrated with complaints about my lack of time management skills, a wise friend pointed me in the direction of a decent diary and a few key time management principles. Since then, through much study, trial and error, my once great weakness has transmuted into a major strength and an international business… I reckon I’ve had the best possible background for running a time management business – I really do understand how it feels to be out of control! It’s a huge buzz these days helping others make the same changes to their life as they learn and practice the many simple and practical productivity habits that changed my life so dramatically. And these days I need all the great time skills I’ve learnt over the years! The family has now expanded to include 17 grandchildren, and then there’s all the fun things and people I enjoy hanging out with – sailing, kayaking, cycling, dancing, music, learning guitar, reading, writing, films, travel and heaps of wonderful friends and extended family.
