Project HEADWAY: Actually Paying Attention

Business Acumen

Attention is the most precious commodity we possess. Where you focus our time and attention can make all the difference in your work, in your projects, and in your lives.

Despite this truth, most of us go through our lives much of the time distracted and unfocused. Instant messaging, email, texts, Slack, Teams chats, and passing colleagues all offer a variety of distractions to your every working and waking moment.

Multitasking is considered a skill, parsing time and attention across multiple tasks simultaneously, and pretending that you are somehow more efficient and effective in moving it all forward. Chasing the hamster wheel of success by trying to do more and more with less and less—less time, less attention, less focus, and less energy—is a recipe for burnout.

Actually paying attention and investing focus and energy in one place is hard. It can also be incredibly effective in getting to exceptional outcomes. When what matters is the quality of the results, and not the speed and efficiency of delivery, the single most important factor in delivering success is the attention you pay.

Whether you struggle with focus or strive to be that much more effective in the results you deliver, where you place your attention can make all the difference. Choosing to pay attention to this webinar may be the best first step.
