My Top Reads of the Past Week: Remember, life is a journey!

Your career is a lifelong journey, yet the path every individual takes is going to be quite different. Some view career progression as means to achieve status, others have a more holistic view to it - seeing their career as a way to master new skills and knowledge. Whatever your career goals, we all face the reality of constant change.

One great way to adapt to this environment of change is to upskill yourself and get familiar with new ideas and ways to thinking. Over the past week, I chanced upon a few articles that I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

We are in the Skills Business!

Through recruitment, training and consulting, Timeo-Performance provides solutions for increased performance of companies, teams, and individuals. As our clients are in the center of global business and often serve the APAC region, our solutions need to be sustainable in a multicultural and remote context.

Our joint venture with Akteos, the European leader in intercultural training, and partnership with digital learning solutions provider CrossKnowledge have therefore been organic and logical additions to our service. Timeo-Performance has been helping companies in APAC increase business performance since 2008 with offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.

We love what we do, feel the Timeo-Performance experience!

As busy professionals, our schedules are often filled to the brim with meetings and tasks to complete. We can get so caught up with work that we might even forget our all-important lunch and power through dinner as well. Alas, we can only do so much given the 24 hours we have in a day. While time management is vital, being productive is another matter in its entirety.Enter time batching.
