The Career Change Maker Podcast | Career Clarity & Career Pivots for Mid-Career Women #207: How To Master Time Management With Ease & Flow With Detola Amure
In today’s episode I am talking to Detola Amure about time management and the tools and strategies we can use to stay on top of our workload.
Detola started her career in Management Consulting, and then moved on to become a Business Analyst, working with many industry giants. Then in 2013, Detola launched her own coaching practise “Super Working Mums”, providing leadership and productivity coaching to overwhelmed working mothers to allow them to find purpose and harness their time to manifest their big career goals. Earlier last year, Detola started The Productivity Company, utilising her experience working with individuals to drive productivity, retention and workforce happiness in a corporate space.
On top of this Detola is a mother, activator, podcast host, author and philanthropist – making her the perfect guest to talk about productivity!
We first discuss how Detola approaches managing all these roles to achieve work life harmony, and recognising that things can’t always be perfectly balanced, at times some areas will be less productive than others. Recognising the season that you are going through allows you to prioritise areas accordingly, which means you can stay more focused and enjoy the time you have.
We then talk about how Detola navigated becoming involved in multiple roles, and the importance of knowing and embracing your purpose, and from there accepting and pursuing opportunities that align with this purpose.
“Start with that one thing, do it well, and then as opportunities begin to come to you, don’t say no.”
Detola also shares her experience of trauma, how it affected her productivity and ability to work and how she overcame that to refocus on her true purpose and take back control of her time.
What you will Learn:
1. We as women go through multiple “seasons” in our life – recognising and embracing them can allow us to prioritise our time effectively and enjoy them more.
2. A great starting point to navigating a multifaceted career is to identify your purpose, and pursue and accept opportunities that align with this.
3. How to step away from the vicious cycle of “hustle mode” and put aside time to take rest and let the ideas come to you.
