Harold Taylor

Harold Taylor has been one of the most trusted voices on time management and personal productivity in North America for more than 40 years — and he came to it before it was fashionable. The founder of Harold Taylor Time Consultants, he has written more than 20 books, produced more than 50 time management products sold in 38 countries, delivered more than 2,000 workshops and keynotes, and published a monthly Time Management Report for over 22 years. He is a Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame inductee, a Certified Speaking Professional, and a past director of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals, which named an award after him in his honor.

Time as Life Management
Taylor’s distinctive approach reframes time management not as a productivity hack but as a holistic strategy for living a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life. His HOLISTIC acronym — Health, Organization, Lifestyle, Internal body time, Spirituality, Time use, Interpersonal relationships, and Cognitive skills — provides a comprehensive framework that goes well beyond calendar management. His book Making Time Work For You remains a widely used resource after decades in print.

Over 2,000 Programs Delivered
Before his speaking career, Taylor spent 12 years in industry management and 8 years teaching business subjects at Humber College in Toronto. He has incorporated four companies over his entrepreneurial career.

Harold Taylor delivers keynotes on time management, personal productivity, work-life balance, and building habits for a longer and more effective life.
