When it comes to training people in personal productivity skills, you might think you need to overhaul everything – new slides, a fresh workbook, interactive games, maybe even a whole redesign of your session.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need to rebuild from scratch.
You need to do a straightforward thing to dramatically increase the impact of your course.
That one thing?
Use proven, ready-to-go materials so you can focus your energy where it really matters: facilitating transformation, not creating content.
Here’s how it works — and how you can plug in the product from Oak Innovation to level up your personal productivity training (or any training you deliver).
Why this matters for personal productivity training
People attending a personal productivity session are not just seeking knowledge. They’re after clarity, relief, and effectiveness.
If you’re scrambling behind the scenes, tweaking slides, hunting for activities, you’re using precious facilitator energy on logistics instead of engaging participants in meaningful change.
On the other hand, when you walk into your session confident – with materials ready, branding in place, and a workbook printed or digital-ready – you show up as the guide, not the frantic creator.
That shift alone improves the vibe, deepens trust, and helps participants open up.
The simple “one thing” in action
Here it is: Adopt a high-quality, editable workshop pack and customize it to your audience, rather than starting with a blank page.
That’s it. One decision. One pivot.
When you do this, you free up your time, reduce your prep stress, and amplify your delivery.
And here’s how the Oak Innovation product supports exactly that:
- The product titled “Personal Productivity Skills Training Course Material for Trainers” (via Oak Innovation) offers downloadable, fully editable slides, workbooks, facilitation guides, and activities. (See the product page here.)
- It emphasises that the pack is designed so you can walk in prepared and confident – no scrambling to build from zero.
- Importantly, although the title mentions “personal productivity”, the structure is highly relevant across various contexts, including goal setting, prioritization, time management, and planning with purpose—all of which closely map to different training topics.
- The page states that the workshop pack is fully editable (PPT, DOCX, etc.) and provides you with lifetime access to the files.
- It also boasts strong user reviews, with people praising the ease of use, adaptability, and quality of the materials.
What you do now
- Go to the product page for the pack: Personal Productivity Skills Training Course Material for Trainers
- Purchase/download the editable workshop pack.
- Open the materials and customize them: add your branding, tweak your own case studies or examples to reflect your audience, insert your own opening story, and adjust any durations or exercises to fit your timeframe.
- Walk into your next session ready, confident, purposeful – using your energy to engage participants, not to fix slides.
- Deliver a stronger course, with less effort on your part and more impact for the learners.
Why does this save you huge time
If instead you built the entire course from scratch, you’d likely invest 20-30 hours (given your preference) or more in preparation (researching content, designing slides, creating handouts, refining facilitation notes).
By contrast, when you adopt a high-quality, ready-to-go pack like the one from Oak Innovation, you significantly cut down on prep time.
You maintain your authenticity, your voice, and your facilitation style – but you remove the heavy lifting of creating everything.
Final thought
If you take away just one thing from this post, you don’t need to start from zero. You only need to make one smart decision: choose a ready-to-use, professionally designed, editable training pack and customise it.
When you do that, you emerge as the leader, the expert, the facilitator of transformation—not the content builder scrambling behind the scenes.
Here’s that training course material again.
Invest a little up front. Free up your time. Deliver more powerfully.
Your participants (and your future self) will thank you.
