TITLE: How to level-set priorities in your life and career!

EPISODE 250

GUEST: FRAN HAUSER 

TOPIC: Ever have trouble carving out time to strategize about your life, career, or a pivot you’re contemplating? Or maybe, once you do carve out the time, you aren’t sure how to structure that time so that you get the biggest return on your investment? What questions should you ask yourself? How much time should you spend? How often should you do this? If any of these questions resonate, this conversation is for YOU! 

Building in time for reflection and making it a regular habit or practice, is key to not only managing yourself, but to making sure that the areas where you are spending your time is helping you move closer to the goals and priorities that are most important to you.

We don’t always think about reflection and time management as elements needed to build influence, and yet, without those practices in place, it’s really difficult to navigate all those competing demands on your time so that you can truly prioritize what’s most important while also helping you build and sustain influence in the process. 

This week’s episode 250 is an encore episode and part of a two-part conversation with startup investor, adviser, best-selling author (and renowned nice girl) Fran Hauser. In part one of this conversation we get into more of Fran’s story. You’ll find that episode here: she said/she said podcast Episode 197.
