ATTENTION  FOR  BUSINESS SUCCESS

“Balancing  priorities  and  being  stretched  too  thin  are  the  biggest  challenges  for  our  leaders  and  teams  today.  The  tools  and  techniques  provided  by  Potential  Project  enables  us  to  manage  these  challenges,  and  to  be  focused  and  attentive  to  the  moment,  without  distraction”.Robert  Stembridge,  Managing  Director

In  an  always-­‐on,  multitasking  consultancy  environment,  attention  is  under  siege.  Attention  to  detail,  attention  to  the  client  and  attention  on  the  task  determines  the  success  of  consultants  and  staff.  We  are  living  in  an  attention  economy.  A  global  consulting  firm  partners  with  Potential  Project  to  design  programs  to  meet  the  specific  needs  of  this  high-­‐paced  organisation.  The  program  included  attention  training  with  specific  focus  on  managing  priorities,  emails  and  overall  effectiveness.  The  programs  are  facilitated  onsite  and  online  in  more  than  15  countries.
