Why Personal Effectiveness Matters

Personal effectiveness is about how well you manage your time, energy, emotions, and priorities at work.

Even highly capable professionals can struggle with workload, stress, confidence, or focus – not because they lack ability, but because they’ve never been taught practical techniques to manage these challenges.

My personal effectiveness training courses help you manage your time, energy, and mindset so you can achieve more with less stress.

Whether you want to build confidence, improve focus, or handle pressure more effectively, these courses give you proven strategies to enhance productivity and wellbeing at work.

You’ll learn how to:

Manage time more effectively - both professionally and personally.
Prioritise what matters most and stay organised.
Get more done without just working longer hours.
Control stress and maintain focus under pressure.
Build resilience and confidence in challenging situations.
Create healthy work habits for long-term success.

When you take control of your mindset and habits, performance and confidence naturally follow.

Mark Baglow

Hi, I'm Mark. When you book this course, you get me – not an associate, not a script read off a slide.

I've spent fifteen years in the world of education, training and development. During my career I learned the thing that still shapes every course I run: people don't remember what you tell them, they remember what they do.

My training is practical, hands-on and refreshingly jargon-free – real tools you'll use on Monday morning, not dry theory you'll have forgotten by lunch.

I'm a certified DISC analyst, and I've designed and delivered leadership, management and communication training across sectors including education, software and financial services.

I'm based in Birmingham – right in the middle of the country – so I can reach you easily for in-person training, and I can also travel internationally.

I deliver personal effectiveness training across the UK - London and the South East included. I can provide live online training if that suits you better - especially for remote or dispersed teams.

I keep my business deliberately personal: you deal with me directly, from first enquiry to post-course follow-up, and every session is built around your people and your real-world challenges.

How In-House Training Works

Bringing training in-house for your team - whether in-person or online - is simpler than you might think.

Here's the whole journey:

Get in touch: Tell me a bit about your team and what you'd like to achieve.

Fill in the form or book a free 30-minute call.

Free scoping call: We talk through your goals, your team and any specific challenges. No charge, no obligation.

Tailored proposal: I send a clear proposal with tailored content and a price. Tailoring and prep are included as standard - no hidden extras. No VAT is currently charged on top of my prices.

Delivery: I deliver the session at your site or live online, fully tailored to your organisation.

Follow-up: Everyone leaves with a workbook and post-course resources to embed what they've learned.

Why Your To-Do List Isn’t Working (And What to Do Instead)

Let me guess. You’ve got a to-do list. It’s long. It keeps getting longer. And despite your best efforts, the most important things on it keep getting pushed to tomorrow. You’re not alone. The to-do list is one of the most popular productivity and time management tools in existence – and also one of the most misused. Most people treat their to-do list as a catch-all dumping ground for everything they need to do, might need to do, should probably do at some point, and once tho

How to Prioritise When Everything Feels Urgent: The Eisenhower Matrix

One of the most common things people say when I'm delivering training on time management is this: “Everything feels urgent.” Not some things. Not the odd busy week. Everything. Emails pile up, meetings fill the diary, tasks keep coming, and it can feel like no matter how hard you work, you’re always reacting rather than getting ahead. The problem isn’t usually effort or motivation. It’s that when everything feels urgent, prioritisation breaks down. Once that happens, stress r
