Unleash the superpower of focus!
This session aims to build an understanding of the importance of the skill of focus. We will highlight why this skill alone is more critical than ever before in the modern workplace. During the session, we will emphasise why everyone should give more intentional thought to bringing more focus into their daily working practices.
The presentation is split into 4 sections:
1.Why focus is really important
The modern world of work is changing at a rapid speed. Your single most powerful asset is your mind. Yet we are all currently embracing distraction which single-handedly diminishes the powerful potential of our brains. We will share just how fragmented our working lives have become, how damaging multi-tasking is to our productivity and how we have all accepted a daily working pattern of endless interruptions. The tide is starting to turn in realising just how damaging this way of working really is.
2. Why it’s vital to grab hold of your ability to focus now
Our current behaviour - both in and out of work - is training our brains to be wired for cursory reading, hurried and distracted thinking, and superficial learning. We need to rebuild the neural pathways in our brains so we are able to focus fully on one thing at a time. Our brain is like a muscle - if we don’t use the skill of concentration, our brain loses the neural pathways and so loses the ability to do it.
The individuals and businesses who recognise the need to change the way we work, create new boundaries, new behaviours in order to create space for deep thought will be gaining a huge competitive advantage.
3. Why focus is the key to unlocking brilliance
- Focus is the only path to wisdom
- Focus is a glorious place to spend time
- Focus delivers exceptional work
4. Techniques and new behaviours to bring focus back into your armoury
We will share a few seeds of thought to simply get you thinking about a different way to approach work. To consider that we are all capable of so much more if we just look for different ways of getting things done.
Spinning plates has become our norm - but we have the power to change that.
