What is the key to staying focused and productive when you’re faced with competing priorities? If you’re like the visionary CEOs and top leaders we work with, you may be torn between taking advantage of emerging opportunities while balancing the demands of employees, customers, partners, and other stakeholders. Taking a strategic approach to these challenges can help you prioritize more effectively.
This week we discuss this challenge with Penny Zenker, a focusologist, international speaker, business strategy coach, and best-selling author. As one of America’s leading experts in the psychology of productivity, she focuses on eliminating distraction, perfectionism, and self-sabotage to maximize results in every area of life.
Penny’s book “The Productivity Zone: Stop the Tug of War with Time” was an instant Amazon Best Seller. Her engaging, inspiring interactive talks teach people to think and act more strategically, and her TEDx talk, “The Energy of Thought,” has gained attention around the world. NBC News, Forbes, Inc., ESPN, and Wharton Business Radio, among others have also featured Penny’s insights.
