Praise for Cool Time
“I am 139 pages into your book and your ideas have put into shape what I’ve been trying to improve in my professional life, primarily the organization of my day. My inbox has been empty all week because I am organizing my tasks into workable time slots. My clients’ regular call-backs are much quicker and there has been a direct increase in prospective business for August because I’ve scheduled in keystone prospecting time into my day between 1 and 2pm.... your ideas are making an immediate impact on my daily life, thank you!”
—Ian Turgeon, Hotel Sales Manager, Fairmont Royal York, Toronto
“I took
Cool Time home last weekend, and have instituted its principles over the last week, and I LOVE IT! I would love to have Steve Prentice on the show. Is he touring? I have roughly two dozen time management books, and I hate them all. His is the only one I’ve ever truly liked and believed in. It’s a godsend, and I MUST share it with my viewers.”
—Bridget Weiss, TV Producer, Edmonton
“I very much enjoyed your session and found a number of different things that I feel I can utilize to help me get more efficient and effective as both a worker and manager.
The process of blocking time in my calendar for keystone work as well as the follow-up things (phone, email) really works well for me and for the environment in which I work… I love the 55-minute meeting concept and actually spoke to a direct report of mine and asked her to utilize the concepts in a meeting we have coming up next week.”
—Marina Papadimitrios, Manager, Supply Management, AstraZeneca
“I met Steve the weekend of the ‘Great Blackout of 2003.’ At that time, all of us across North America were still shaking our heads, wondering how we could have been caught without lights or power and with practically no back-up plan.
Steve appeared on my radio show and quickly taught us the Cool Time principles. He was immediately flooded with calls. Listeners wanted to talk to him because he brought such practical advice, common sense and a level head about him. Everything he said made sense! It was an enlightening hour that I’ve never forgotten. Steve is now a regular guest on my show.
Steve’s approach to crisis and everyday living is truly inspiring, rewarding and exciting. Spending time with Steve and his Cool Time concept is like getting permission to stop the stress.”
—Christina Cherneskey, Talk Show Host, News Talk 1010 CFRB, Toronto
“I have been applying the Cool Time principles for a month or so now and have managed to ‘find’ more time in my days for constructive pursuits and less stress during the evenings. I have recommended your book to my colleagues and associates whenever the challenges of work-life balance or stress management arise.”
—Walter Robinson, Past Federal Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation
