Working with governments and nonprofits worldwide for the past 15 years, we have seen one challenge rise above all others: time. Statements like “I don't have time” and “My calendar is full” have become a constant refrain among the practitioners we train.

Eight years ago, we began experimenting with ways to help people address this challenge in our flagship Implementing Public Policy executive program. This year, we designed a new module to help participants move from simply reacting to their calendars to intentionally designing them around what (and who) really matters. We piloted it with members of our PDIA Community of Practice in January, and the positive feedback we received inspired us to offer this module as a standalone course. In keeping with our mission, we have made it both affordable and accessible.

Our hope is that this course helps you build a more intentional, values-aligned relationship with your time. Read on to learn more about the course and how it can help you take ownership of your time. 

We look forward to supporting you on this journey. 

Are your days packed with meetings and obligations, yet the things that matter most keep getting pushed to "later"?

This online course treats time as a leadership practice and an expression of your values. Through simple daily exercises, you will clarify what and who you value, experiment with small daily intentions, and learn to reframe responsibilities so that even in demanding systems, your time feels more intentional, aligned, and purposeful.

Arranged in four self-paced online modules accompanied by brief reflections, this course is designed to be completed in 11 days or spread flexibly over a 3-week timeframe.

This is a registration-based course. There is no application or admission process. Please note that this course is intended for skill and knowledge-building and does not include a certificate.
