I accomplished a lot in multiple environments over the course of my career.  That led one participant in a recent coaching session to ask, “What has been the biggest challenge I faced throughout my career?

In a word it is Focus.  The hard part about leading is not the difference between good and bad choices.  Most of us figure that out correctly.

Like many of us, I struggled with things that are “right to do” and  did not focused enough resources on “breakthroughs.”

Please listen in on this live Coaching Q&A session as I share how I learned this early career lesson.

Homework:

• Identify which three peanuts you are going to push this week, month, and year.
  
• It is hard to say NO to good (but not great) peanuts, so say “yes, but not now!”
  
• Consciously decide what you are going to work on today and every day.
  

The 52/17 Pomodoro technique is a good way for you to decide what you are going to work on in a given block of time.   What if you could effortlessly garner double-digit improvements to the depth of your personal focus and sustain that focus 400% longer?  Would you do it?
