Are You "Busy" Or Effective?
This Jason Barger presentation is all about what gets our focus on a day to day and moment to moment basis. We have never lived in more distracted, cluttered and "busy" times. Studies reveal that the modern worker today shifts their focus and attention between 300-500 times in an average day. What separates the good leaders from the great leaders, the good teams from the great teams, the good businesses from the great businesses, is the ability to give their eyes, hearts, and focus to their highest priorities.

It has never been more important to Remember the purpose of our mission and then proactively ReMember-renew and recommit to the people, projects and passions that create positive impact.

Every individual, team, and organization needs to Step Back from the Baggage Claim once in awhile to revisit where they're traveling and why. In the fast-paced global world we live in today, it is easy to find ourselves rushing from task to task, project to project, and meeting to meeting.

Practicing Innovation & Disrupting the Status Quo:
Seeing With New Eyes
One of the biggest challenges all leaders, teams, and organizations face is being able to see their work with new eyes. In the fast-paced, do more with less, "create on demand" world we live in today, it sometimes seems easiest to do things the same way we did them yesterday. In reality, when we cling too tightly to the status quo, we squelch new ideas, possibilities, and solutions.

Leveraging Your Strengths:
Assessing & Strengthening What You Do Best
We are a culture that spends entirely too much time focused on our weaknesses. Weaknesses are important. They are things we should work on. They are things we can improve. BUT, in our obsessive search for what's missing, we often neglect the opportunity to harness our strengths and achieve our highest potential.

Leveraging Your Strengths as a leader, as a team, or as an entire organization is about recognizing, aligning, and building upon the skills that you already have. When we capitalize on the momentum of success and progress, we get closer to actualizing our goals. Every team needs to understand, communicate, and LEVERAGE its strengths!
