NOTABLE SESSIONS: Better Thinking vs More Effort: Overcoming the Undisciplined Pursuit of More with Eric Papp

With increasing complexity, most people are tasked with doing more than they can successfully execute. Eric Papp helps audiences clarify their thinking on what’s most important so they can achieve greater impact and feel in control again.

The more complex, fast-paced, and challenging life becomes, the more we need to have space to think: thinking time to spot irrelevant work, floundering projects, and the courage to start saying no.
