“I love this work because, in a handful of days, I’m able to provide clients with practices and principles that make a profound impact on their ability to access relaxed focus in any situation.  And in my own continuing practice of GTD, I’ve noticed that the more integrity I have to my commitments of day-to-day next actions and projects, the more I experience creativity, boldness, and freedom in the bigger picture of my life.”

Coach's Corner

When the scope of my job more or less doubled overnight recently, I realized that I needed to get serious about how things got done. Michael Dolan and the Getting Things Done program have been an absolutely fantastic change in the way I work. The two days I spent with Michael were incredibly efficient, very targeted to exactly what I needed, and left a lasting impact. It's a simple, but very effective approach, and the onsite consulting was invaluable in just getting it implemented and into muscle memory. I'd strongly recommend the program, the onsite consulting, and Michael Dolan in particular, to anyone who is looking to jump start a game plan for keeping on top of their world.

I'd like to acknowledge Michael Dolan and his fine work. We spent only a few hours together yet my office, desk, and productivity are significantly improved. Michael set me up and taught me how to use several systems that will allow me to focus my time on the right things. He provided many cool tools and tips along the way. I think Michael is a great coach because he sincerely understood who I am, how I work and what I most want to achieve this year. He knew when to step away from what I think might be the normal flow of his process to lead me through a deeper dive into a significant piece of work as he sensed this could mean real value to me and to Genentech. The coaching was truly value-add and I look forward to our follow-up conversation. Thank you!

Michael just provided me with the two-day David Allen Workflow Coaching and I have to say it was one of the best experiences of my career. Thanks to Michael's coaching and hands-on help, I have been able to completely re-focus my efforts and bring my professional capabilities to a whole new creative/strategic level. I highly recommend Michael and GTD training to ANY executive looking to be more productive and successful.

I just concluded two wonderful and inspirational days of workflowcoaching with Michael. Our work together surpassed what I imagined thecoaching to be. He helped me fundamentally re-think how I've beenapproaching GTD in general, how I define projects and next actions,and how to imagine new Visions for myself; we even got a major projectunstuck while working the natural planning model together on the whiteboard.
I now have a new perspective on the weekly review and how powerful itis to the ultimate success of my entire system.
It was a delight working with Michael.
