Doing it All: How to Stay Focused and Engaged
Seminar No: 02118-XNBB
CEU Credits: 1.2
Length: 2 days
Develop self-direction skills to maximize your productivity regardless of distractions.
For many of us, our “new normal” job means that we’ve inherited work from others, are multitasking 24/7 and may have responsibilities for which we have little training and interest. In addition, we’re expected to produce positive results with fewer resources. Given these circumstances, 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 use your results on an “executive skills” survey as the starting point to help you assess your “hard wired” 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.
How You Will Benefit
- Learn the science behind hardwired skills and their link to job performance
- Understand why you experience attention and focus challenges
- Implement behaviors to help you stay energized and engaged
- Identify the three most important factors for getting instant clarity and focus
- Set up your environment to work for you, not against you
- Implement techniques for eliminating your worst interruptions
What You Will Cover
- Assessing your “hard-wired” strengths and weaknesses
- Identifying the “resistance” in your systems that throw you out of focus
- Using anticipation tools to cut distractions
- Minimizing negative energy that saps your strength
- Utilizing “snap back” tools to immediately regain focus
- Slowing down so you can speed through your day’s work
- Utilizing the right sensory tools for you: auditory, visual or tactile
Who Should Attend
Anyone who is expected to deliver maximum productivity and results at work despite interruptions, an excessive workload and other obstacles
