“Having lost sight of our goals, we redouble our efforts”
- Mark Twain

The problem of busyness:
Activity is often confused with productivity. Busyness and working harder do not always lead to significant accomplishments; instead, they tend to lead toward mediocre results, burnout and frustration. During this workshop participants will learn the art of accomplishing more with less unnecessary effort.

A focus on short-term and long-term results:

• Less busyness and less wasted effort for better results
• More focus and energy
• Innovative and authentic solutions to business strategy and communication issues

Key Themes:

• The power of less: mindfulness practices resulting in more focus, more flexibility
• Doing less of what is extra; more of what matters
• Beyond time management and productivity management – learning to manage your state of mind
• Develop structure and routines to enhance responsiveness and flexibility
• Less assumptions lead to more feedback, collaboration, innovation

How participants learn

• Experiential, hands-on learning
• Integral, systems approach
• Deep, long-lasting change
• Slowing down in the midst of activity
• More responsiveness and flexibility (and less reactivity)
