Learning Objectives and Program Content:

As accountants, we are great with numbers—but not always with time. This course offers seven simple,
brain-based time management strategies designed specifically for accounting professionals.
Taught by CPA and Certified Coach Dawn Goldberg, the session helps participants reduce overwhelm,
improve focus, and get more done in less time. Instead of surface-level tips, you’ll learn how to manage
your mind, set priorities that matter, and avoid common productivity traps.
Whether you struggle with procrastination, distractions, or calendar overload, this course will show you a
smarter way to work.

1.  Recognize how thought patterns like “I’m so busy” impact productivity
