Workhacks: Being Your Own Project Manager

Skill Focus: Time Maximization & Personal Agency

In the agency world, deadlines don’t move, but priorities constantly do. When you’re managing multiple clients, endless Slack threads, and a mountain of daily tasks, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly playing catch-up. The secret to thriving isn’t just working faster—it’s learning how to manage your workload like a seasoned producer.

Led by executive coach, facilitator, and 4As project management expert Roshan Shah, this hands-on Workhack is designed to help you take control of your calendar. We are stripping away the complex enterprise software to focus on the practical project management habits that every early-career professional needs. This interactive workshop centers on the art of time maximization: learning how to protect your focus, structure your workflow and stay ahead of the chaos.

We will explore the interpretive mindset of a project manager, discovering how to look at a chaotic week and break it down into clear, actionable priorities. You’ll join your peers to share real-world workload challenges, practice setting boundaries around your time, and leave with immediate tools to confidently drive your own deliverables across the finish line.
