LinkedIn Speaker Series with Greg McKeown - April 23, 2014
Do you find yourself stretched too thin? Do you feel simultaneously overworked and underutilized? Are you often busy, but not productive?Is your to-do list longer at the end of the day than it was when you started? Do you ever feel like your time is being hijacked by other people’s agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the way of the Essentialist. Please join us for a presentation and Q&A with Greg McKeown, author of the forthcoming ESSENTIALISM: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, which teaches how we can do less -- but better-- in every area of our lives. By challenging the assumption of “we can have it all” and “I have to do everything,” and replacing it with “the right thing, in the right way, at the right time,” (does this sound familiar? :) ) we can regain control of our choices about where to spend our precious time and energies so we can make our highest point of contribution towards the things that really matter.INTERESTING FACT ABOUT GREG!Greg happens to be one of LinkedIn’s most successful Influencers.
