Develop self-direction skills to maximize your productivity regardless of distractions YOUR IMMEDIATE TAKEAWAY
• Stay focused even when multitasking • Spend more time doing the work you like best • Tackle all the work that must get done, in any circumstance For many of us, our “new normal” means that we’ve inherited work from others and are multitasking 24/7. We’re expected to produce positive results with fewer resources. It’s not surprising that maintaining focus and staying engaged can be a major hurdle. With so many simultaneous demands on your time, sustaining focused energy is no longer an option. It’s a must-have skill for doing your job well and keeping your position viable. This seminar will help you assess your “hardwired” ability to stay focused on a situation or task in spite of distractions, fatigue or boredom. You’ll then learn and apply practical tools and techniques that can help you make the best of your innate strengths, mitigate your challenges, stay focused and spend more time and energy on what you like doing best—while still getting all your other work done.

WHAT WILL BE COVERED • Understanding the science behind hardwired skills and their link to the workplace and your job performance • Comprehending why you have challenges around focus and sustaining attention to situations and tasks • Assessing your hardwired strengths and weaknesses
