Talk Title:
O Captain! Wait – Who’s My Captain? How to navigate in today’s distracted, over-connected, constantly interrupted tech environments.
Abstract:
In organizations, people are the most expensive, and most valuable, resource. A common factor is that we don’t teach/learn H.O.W. to work optimally. We overlook aspects of dynamic work environments; how individuals and teams approach tasks, priorities, overwhelm, fatigue, distractions, emergencies … even internal energy reserves. We fail to teach fundamentals that drive motivation and personal empowerment – the same keys that drive excellence, career and organizational growth.
