Attention Pays™
Keeping the attention of your team and your tenants
In our current virtual world, working from home and juggling multiple roles at work and at home, it’s often hard to pay attention.
To get the results you want, you need to get attention. But many people don’t know how to get it and keep it.
People often see attention as a transaction, something to trade, but it’s much more than that. Neen has identified that people pay attention at three different levels; personal, professional, and global, and she’s designed a powerful methodology that makes it easy to leverage all three with your team and your tenants.
Neen’s Intentional Attention model helps you be more deliberate about the choices we make and the actions we take.
Join speaker, author, and sassy little Aussie, Neen James, and discover what makes attention valuable and why paying attention in very specific ways drives profitability, productivity, and accountability.
You’ll learn:
• The three types of attention, Personal, Professional, and Global, and how to master each.
• Strategies to design work and personal environments for optimal attention and focus especially given our increased demand due to virtual.
• How to turn technology and devices from frustrating distractions to powerful levers.
