implement practical solutions to the information overload that burdens their
work lives. Results: Participants gave very positive feedback. The overall
satisfaction of the learning session was in excess of 92.5%. Many of them
found it to be one of the best sessions in which they have participated.

"In the three months
since we had your education session we have made a great improvement in clearly
understanding our roles and in our personal effectiveness. We learned not
only that we were not focusing enough on the high value aspects of our roles
but also that we had developed many bad work habits that inhibited our
efficiency and personal effectiveness...we have made many changes that are
leading us to be more effective and more satisfied in our work lives.
Thank you for the excellent program and your caring touch"

"The purpose was to
analyze the challenges and goals in setting and conducting useful meetings.
Many of the concerns we all share today with the increasing number of
meeting requests are: lack of / wasted time, understanding of purpose/ role,
action plans and follow-up. Baha provided a thorough and practical view
of the process and numerous suggestions as to how we can all orchestrate
more efficient and effective meetings."

"The ‘Overcoming
Overload Workshop’ conducted for our staff was probably the most helpful
workshop we have held in recent years. Its practical tips are superb, its
philosophy of seeing Roles rather than Tasks is liberating, and the wit,
wisdom and spiritual insights of Baha and Margaret Habashy was a joy to
listen to."

"Personally, I immediately implemented a number of your/ Margaret's
suggestions rearranging my
office and changing my daily habits, for example having only one item on my desk
at at time to focus on, prioritizing other items which are held in a drawer
out of sight.
It
works!. Since that time I have sensed a distinct reduction in stress!

I have to
say that over the years I still revert to your principles when feeling
overwhelmed... I try not to let my inbox manage me and have it define my
role; focus on the high value deliverables being the key. Your principles
and workshop empower us not to give in and remind us how to take control !

The
material you used was very specific, it was very practical and yet it fit
into a process that was very overarching with the different modes of
communication...You clearly laid out the areas we would deal with and you

In
my time, I have attended many seminars, but only a hand full of them have
had a lasting impact. Your program definitely falls in that category and has
already impacted in a positive way sever staff members and me....
I found your program unique in quite a few ways. Firstly, the primary focus
is on the how to organize rather than the what. The
practical steps suggested are very doable and hence in my case it has
actually got done! Another outstanding and valuable element is your on site
personal coaching which makes the whole program truly customized and
effective."

Paint a roadmap to
change
The result:
-
Senior management
accepted a set of guidelines to change our overloaded meeting culture

Set the stage in
defining a set of measurable base line data to guide our personal and
corporate improvement objectives."

I engaged Integrity+ Consulting, having heard of the positive results their
workshop has had on anther division in CIBC. What impressed me about their
work is their thorough approach. Short telephone interviews were conducted
with some of my team leaders prior to the workshop to ensure that the
material would be relevant. The follow up conference calls and meetings
ensured that the material we learned was being implemented into our daily
routine.
I am pleased to encourage other managers and businesses leaders to consider
this workshop as a tool to help them improve the effectiveness of their
people and to guard against the negative impact of information overload.

"...During that session I was impressed with their content and the quality
of their communication. What they taught us that day was of immediate
benefit to me as I returned to my busy office, my hectic work schedule and
the high volume of messages in my e-mail inbox.
Later, Baha came and gave a brief presentation to our CEO and the senior management team who
agreed that Integrity Consulting address as many of our staff as possible...
I truly appreciated Baha's attitude and flexibility in working with us . In
my opinion they went beyond the call of duty to serve our needs. They
are most sincerely recommended to anyone who needs their services."

bears out in the numbers- the Effectiveness and Overload Gauge improved by

"Beyond the very practical
recommendations you have given regarding time and work management, however,
has been an even more valuable contribution, i.e., the revision of our
understanding of our roles and resultant expectations. It has been
comforting and freeing for us as individual team members to realize that our
roles are best defined by what we are expected to be rather than what we are
expected to do".
