Chase One Rabbit

My talk is based off a Confucian saying: “If you chase both rabbits, you catch neither.”

Brain research has shown there is a limited amount of resources, energy, and willpower that we as humans can devote to a task. Once that energy is depleted, it becomes harder to maintain self-control, resolve, and commitment.

This is why so many diets, relationships, and small businesses fail.

We don’t work in days, weeks, or months. We work in minutes, if not seconds. That is, we work in short spurts of concentrated focus. Our brains are designed this way. This talk is about capitalizing on the limited amount of time we have and making the most of it.

Zebras and Ostriches

The key difference between a successful organization and one that doesn’t last is the level of engaged employees. That is, how well your company performs is directly linked to the level of enthusiasm, excitement, and energy your employees feel when they go to work.

Research continues to point out that employees who are significantly engaged outperform work groups that are not engaged.

This program is designed for leaders who want to engage and empower their people to be more productive, happy, and delight their customers.
