Master Work Intake!

It has been nearly a year since JRoss Publishing published Mastering Work Intake. Jeremy Willets and I believe our book and workshops have helped numerous organizations, teams, and most importantly people bring order out of chaos – at least that is what they tell us.

As the year winds down we are excited to offer a free 30-minute “office hours” session with us. We’ll facilitate the session to help you create a plan to tackle your work intake challenges.  Book time with us here: https://lnkd.in/gtEvtcJd

Also, consider buying your boss a copy of Mastering Work Intake (your work-life balance will approve).
