Talk Two:

Staying Focused and Maximising your Potential
Trying to wear too many hats at work and continually switching your attention from task to task can be stressful and tiring. When you lose focus on your task at hand it causes stress, overwhelm, anxiety and can eventually lead to burnout.

This talk is a great opportunity to step back and look at the way you are working and make some positive changes to maximise your workflow and focus on a daily basis. We look at ways to stay focused on important tasks and ways to drive the business forward. We explore the cost of context switching (multitasking) and the shocking truth of lost time and energy.

We also explore different brain states to optimise your performance throughout the day depending on the task at hand and how to block out your time in three distinct work-modes.

This session will help you and your team work more efficiently, proactively and with much less stress.
