Fiona Oliver

“My favourite PEP win was when one of my senior executive PEP participants told me that his improved productivity at work meant that he had stopped taking his laptop computer home every night to do catch up work. He felt less stressed because of this and less guilty that he wasn’t spending enough time with his family. What a great result for everyone – the senior executive, his family and his employer.”

Fiona has been working with PEPworldwide in the Government Services office in Canberra since 2002, but her personal experience with the Personal Efficiency Program began back in 1997 when she was the Strategic Planning Manager for a large organisation. In this role she would routinely return to her desk after a meeting to find her in-box overflowing with emails. In desperation she purchased Kerry Gleeson’s book The Personal Efficiency Program (How to get organised to do more work in less time) and, by following the suggestions in the book, she was able to master her in-box and take control of her work. She’s never looked back.

Fiona’s extensive public sector experience allows her to work successfully with Australian Public Service agencies to help individual officers, teams and senior executive staff improve their work habits, work organisation and effectiveness through the Personal Efficiency Program.
