Duration: 2 Days
For most of us, the demands our careers place on our shoulders can be
overwhelming. Combine this with the distractions caused by an unending influx of
information, and our lives can become downright exhausting. If we don't react to
these stimuli with clear discernment, our ability to think clearly and make wise
decisions about what's important suffers, the goals that matter most in our
professional and personal lives get shortchanged, or not accomplished at all.
This course combines current neuroscience research with proven productivity
principles to help you better manage your decisions, attention, and energy.
You'll learn how to apply a process and maximize the use of technology platforms
that can dramatically increase your ability to achieve life's most important
outcomes by consistently making choices that create extraordinary value for
yourself and your organization. This solution not only produces a measurable
increase in productivity, but can also provide you with a renewed sense of
engagement and accomplishment.
