“Agile Results” was developed by J.D. Meier - Microsoft employee and productivity expert. It’s a cross-discipline approach for results that combines some of the most effective techniques in human performance for your mind, body, and emotions that helps to establish mindsets and habits to be effective and productive in modern life’s high load. It can help you to: • Keep up with changes in a rapidly changing environment • Finish what was started • Start and finish what you actually want and need • Get enough time for the results you want • Feel that you are in control of the event flow Presentation will explain core concepts, principles and differences of the approach, including principles not only of task management but also time, passion and energy management.
