Is today's typical working American overworked, underworked, energetic
or lazy? The best answer is "none of the above." The root of the
time-pressure we feel and the leisure we lack is not "too much work".
There are larger, more basic, converging issues. We can handle longer
hours; it's everything else competing for our attention that leaves us
feeling overwhelmed. Once you are overwhelmed, feeling overworked can
quickly follow. You can, however, maintain the pace with grace--even
under pressure! This program is action-packed. Jeff lays out Breathing
Space strategies and techniques for effectiveness that anyone can
quickly master. For any organization seeking highest-level, on-going
education. (Presentation materials include Breathing Space book,
slides/overheads, workbooks, quizzes, and bonus items.)

Managing Information and Communication Overload was very
informative and useful information. I summarized your information plus
shared all your handouts with others in my division.
Emma Brashear, CPS, Growmark Agronomy, Bloomington, IL
I enjoyed your presentation. It reinforced many practices that are
already in place in my life and made me aware of several more that I
intend to utilize. Your presentation was well-organized, pertinent to
our group and interesting.
Sharon A. Cadwalder, Las Positas College, Livermore, CA
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. You give a lot of practical
ways to apply your ideas. The two concepts which I really took away
with me were the replacement principle and the idea of completion.
Heather Floyd, Transmission O & M, Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, Benson AZ
Thank you for giving us the most interesting session at the
conference last week. It was a joy to listen to you. The knowledge you
shared is so true even in our personal lives that I will surely retain
it and put it to good use.
Mylene Domingo-Dizon, Human Development Network, The World Bank, Washington DC
I am using your techniques at work and at home -- they do work if
you use them! Thank you for the wonderful presentation -- it was packed
full of great ideas!
Christine Byrd, Accounting, Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock, PA
Our management seminar turned out to be one of the best and most
informative of past years, and it was due in large part to your one-day
management presentation. As expected, your approach was very well
suited to our young participants, and we feel that they gained valuable
insight. We express our thanks to you for a job well done, and I will
certainly think of you next year.
Henry Brehm, Vice President, ProServ Incorporated, Washington, DC
I enjoyed the presentation you made on Saturday. It was as though
you were holding a BIG mirror in front of me as so many of the things
you were describing I could see in my own behavior. Needless to say, I
was impressed with your message as well as your manner and delivery of
the presentation. I wish my wife could have been in attendance because
I think she too would have found it valuable.
. . . I go on vacation during the first two weeks of August and I
intend to stay out of touch with the office entirely if at all
possible. I do intend to take your book Breathing Space. Thanks for
opening my eyes a bit wider!
David Neitzel, Partner, Vasa Brougher Inc., Indianapolis, IN
At last! Someone who practices what they preach. Can't tell you how
many times I fielded compliments for "that Jeff Davidson guy!" Thanks
for being flexible enough to work with our time emergencies. You were
great!
