Better Thinking vs. More Effort

Increasing Effectiveness in the Age of Complexity

Outcomes:

• Improve concentration on your highest priorities
• Manage the desire to do it all and say yes
• Generate velocity on projects
• Take courage to stop irrelevant work
• Create space to think

With increasing complexity, most people are tasked with doing more than they can successfully execute. Eric Papp helps audiences clarify their thinking on what’s most important: So they can achieve greater impact and feel in control again.

At what point does better thinking (doing less) produce better outcomes for you?

The truth is it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of work and fall victim to the myth “I can do it all.” This inhibits us from recognizing that successful execution and living a meaningful life are about tradeoffs. The more complex, fast-paced, and challenging life becomes, the more we need to have space to think: Thinking time to spot irrelevant work, floundering projects, and the courage to start saying no.

Having the right thinking tools can make all the difference between continued success and constant struggle. Participants will leave feeling confident and in control in having practical solutions to help them cut through the complexity. You will take back control of your personal and professional life.
