WHAT TO DO ABOUT TOO MUCH TO DO!
Let’s be honest. Your proverbial plate is already running over with all you have to do. Even worse, your mind is racing with fresh ideas for improvement and growth. If only there was a solution to this dilemma that didn’t involve cloning yourself. Our speaker today says the answer is to run off and join the circus… at least mentally.
Using the model of a successful circus, this highly engaging presentation will equip you to better manage your time and energy to explore new opportunities and achieve better results. From being a stronger ringmaster to building a quality “3 ring” lineup, expect to leave this session with a myriad of practical tips to manage your distractions and more fully focus on the present moment. Most importantly, you’ll be ready to run your circus instead of letting the circus run YOU!
A MORE NATURAL WAY TO LEAD
You’re busy. You are already feeling overloaded. You’d like to build greater capacity in yourself and members of your team, but where would you find the time? In short, you want to take your leadership to the next level, but the question is “How?” You need a fresh and practical blueprint. Jones Loflin says that new approach is built on four words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest.
In this innovative and engaging presentation built on the timeless practices of a gardener, Jones equips leaders to identify where change is needed in their daily activities and take productive action. It’s time to get “growing” and harvest something better for your people and your organization.
GETTING TO IT!
Is the tsunami of “something else” flooding your schedule every day, washing away any hope of you accomplishing what’s really important? Do you find that even when you are trying to focus your mind is racing with countless other thoughts? Is your lack of attention to your highest priorities limiting your professional success, your personal wellness, and even the quality of your relationships? Sounds like it’s to time to learn how to get to IT… your most Important Things!
In this insightful and highly interactive presentation, participants will learn a powerful way to make sure that what they SAY is important each day actually gets DONE! Participants will learn how to reduce time spent on “something else”, communicate their “IT” to others, build IT routines into their day instead of hoping to get to IT, and more.
Are You As Focused As A Bee?
This is an enlightening look at how to improve your focus by learning from the incredible lives of honeybees. It offers a radical approach to give you the clarity, confidence, and control you crave to accomplish what is most important to you. What could you accomplish if you improved your ability to focus? Are you tired of fighting the countless distractions coming at you every day? How would your life change if you approached each day with purpose and made steady progress toward your goals?
NOW WE GO HOME…SO WHAT?
You have packed the bottles of shampoo and lotion from your room, taken one last gaze out your hotel window, and started thinking about how far behind you are at work. But have you “packed” the right strategies to achieve better results when you return home? How will you take all you have gained at this event and implement these ideas into an already overloaded schedule? Jones Loflin says the answer lies in 5 simple words: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
*This keynote can also be modified to fit for the opening session of a conference or event. The suggested title then becomes We Are Here… Now What?
