Focus took centerstage on this week’s GoalChat with Ed Brill, Jeff Goldberg, and Christine Toy Johnson. Since Ed is in product leadership, Jeff is a sales problem solver (The Sales Pro Network) and a stand-up-comic, and Christine is a playwright and actor, we approached the topic from tech, sales, and creative standpoints. As “focus” can relate to finding or staying focused, we discussed both, along with multi-tasking, boundaries, and more.
What is Focus?
- Jeff: Concentration
- Christine: Being intentional and finding the window in
- Ed: Triaging prioritization and outcomes
How to Focus and Stay Focused
- Christine: Know yourself: work when you know you are most productive
- Jeff: Decide what you are committed to
- Jeff: Work on your business, not just in your business
- Ed: When at a crossroads, reprioritize what’s next and find alignment
- Christine: I ask myself where can I have the most impact and will bring me joy
- Ed: Find tools that help
