Mastering Time: 5 Wins for Effective Time Management

While time management is critical to planning a productive day, many people who attempt to manage time and get more done each day fail because they do not plan accordingly. I faced similar challenges as a paralegal before it came full circle in 1992 when I failed to file a personal injury legal complaint within a two-year statute of limitations. After allowing this mistake to haunt me for years, I eventually earned a Master of Public Administration and Doctor of Management, presented my thesis, and defended my dissertation, which focused on time management’s impact on organizational success and leadership. Because of a mistake I made early in my career, time management was critical to me. Now, I help leaders and organizations learn effective time management techniques to be more productive and efficient time managers.

In this insightful episode, join Dr. Deborah Johnson-Blake as she explores the transformative power of mastering time with “5 Wins for Effective Time Management.” Discover practical strategies to revolutionize your daily routine, enhance productivity, and reduce stress. Dr. DJ unveils the quick wins behind making every second count, from prioritizing high-impact tasks and delegating effectively, tackling quick tasks immediately to maintain momentum, allocating daily time for focused work, enhancing focus and energy through strategic breaks, and incorporating consistent wellness practices into your routine. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls like multitasking and frequent interruptions, and instead, leverage tools and techniques that truly work. Whether you’re a busy professional, an entrepreneur, a student, or anyone else who feels that the clock rules their lives, these tips will empower you to reclaim your time and achieve more with less effort. Tune in to transform your time management approach and unlock new efficiency and success levels.

BB24-33.Shanan Terale, Be a Pearlfectionista


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Shanan Terale, on air from August 13th

I work with first-generation professionals who struggle to make their money go the same distance as colleagues, who overpay on their taxes, and who struggle to build a secure and sustainable nest egg to create their long-term wealth vision and implement it.  Born middle-class, my family lost everything twice because of crises. I became the first in my family to go to college, graduate school and to practice law, but I still felt powerless to help. But throughout my career, I had worked with every type of financial professional, worked at a family office for a billionaire family, and learned to practice law from some of the best lawyers who operate at the highest levels.  So, I integrated my skills and knowledge with my playful nature to create educational tools to help people develop financial agency so they can navigate these common life struggles using the same tools as the wealthy 1%.

BB24-31. Jamie Martin – JEM Consulting.


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Jamie Martin, on air from July 30th

My journey in leadership began through working for bosses and companies that treated their employees poorly. Witnessing this mistreatment sparked a desire to change the status quo. I immersed myself in the study of servant leadership and adapted my leadership style to prioritize serving others. This approach centers on treating my team with empathy and understanding, particularly concerning mental health. By fostering a supportive environment, I focus on encouragement and perspective rather than immediate accountability and judgment. This leadership philosophy benefits everyone in the organization, promoting a culture of respect and compassion

“People will move mountains, when they feel valued, respected and understood” 

Jamie Martin’s professional journey commenced at Starbucks, where foundational skills in customer service and operational excellence were cultivated from the ground up as a Barista. This early experience ignited Jamie’s passion for retail operations and laid the groundwork for a career marked by leadership and community advocacy.

Transitioning from Starbucks, Jamie advanced to roles at Walmart, initially serving as an Acting Store Manager and Assistant Store Manager. Here, Jamie gained extensive experience in managing large-scale operations, overseeing teams, and optimizing business processes. This tenure at Walmart provided invaluable insights into multi-unit retail management and strategic leadership.

Jamie’s career then took a pivotal turn at the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB), where Jamie excelled as a Senior Store Manager and Regional Manager. Managing operations across 20 locations within a unionized environment, Jamie not only oversaw multimillion-dollar budgets and led teams of up to 400 staff but also played a crucial role during the legalization of cannabis in British Columbia. Jamie navigated complex regulatory landscapes, developed compliance strategies aligned with the Cannabis Act, and fostered partnerships with government entities.

Beyond professional achievements, Jamie is deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy for First Nations. This commitment is exemplified through active involvement with the community engagement and advocacy for First Nationswhere Jamie collaborates on initiatives aimed at cultural awareness, economic development, and supporting local initiatives. Jamie integrates Indigenous training and community partnerships into business practices, ensuring a holistic approach to leadership that respects and promotes diverse perspectives.

In 2024, Jamie founded Jem Consulting as Owner/Operator, leveraging expertise in regulatory compliance, government policy, and community engagement. At Jem Consulting, Jamie focuses on optimizing operational processes, providing strategic guidance for start-ups, and enhancing human resources practices. Jamie’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces continue to drive growth and empower teams, all while advancing initiatives that positively impact both business outcomes and community well-being. Jamie Martin’s career progression—from Starbucks barista to accomplished business leader and advocate for First Nations—is a testament to resilience, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to making a meaningful difference in retail operations and beyond.

BB24-31. Rebecca Visser Stop Burnout


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Rebecca Visser, on air from July 30th

Even from a young age, I struggled with perfectionism and tried to control every aspect of my life to get ahead. Despite achieving a seemingly “perfect career” with a good title, salary, and accolades from my bosses and peers, I felt completely unfulfilled. This relentless pursuit to “achieve” throughout my life inevitably led to severe burnout. My only choice left was to take six months off to reconnect with myself.
In retrospect, I realized I was never living in the moment, always focused on the future or berating myself for past mistakes. Through coaching and other holistic practices, I’ve witnessed the power of letting go of limiting beliefs and connecting with our inner wisdom.

By sharing my story, I aim to help others find the peace and fulfillment I discovered on my journey. The world
needs more people pursuing their unique talents, so they can reconnect with their joy and we can better face societal challenges.
