Are you getting hacked? We live in a world full of constant distraction. Maybe it’s the game on TV, or your smart phone vibrates. Maybe you’re just watching cat videos on YouTube. Hey, I’m not judging. Or maybe, just maybe, you are chasing perfection but never catching it. The reality is you are probably distracted more often than not without even realizing it. You are getting hacked, and that mostly results in lost productivity that is costing you, your employer, your clients, and your community. Imagine if you had: The power to create ideas and implement them efficiently and effectively. The ability to architect your attention and invest in the things important to you. The knowledge to find and use the needed resources to accomplish your goals. The understanding to exponentially increase your impact on the world. The secret to organizing your life around flow: where you feel and do your best. What if you could become perfectly unhackable? Presented by a certified Unhackable coach, attendees at this session will be challenged to identify and understand the most common hacks that prevent maximum productivity and learn ways to prevent and overcome them and power up their productivity.
After this session, participants will be better able to:
• Identify today’s most common distractions/hacks and understand the science behind them.
• Define the costs of being hacked on your productivity.
• Explore three simple but proven implementable steps to prevent being hacked and skyrocket your productivity.
