If you ever feel like you’re being squeezed, short on time,
short on attention, and short on the bandwidth you need to make
smart decisions, then do we have the show for you!
Today we’ll be talking with Peter Bregman, best-selling author
18 Minutes: Find our Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right
Things Done, and his latest award-winning book Four Seconds: All
the Time You Need to Stop Counter-Productive Habits and Get the
Results You Want!
Today we’ll talk about stopping the clock and finding the time
to make smart decisions, how to take steps forward, and how to take
the time to assess the situation, without taking so long the ship
goes down.
We’ll also talk about Ted Talks, Ditching the Need to be
Perfect, returning iPads, when a missing Rabbi’s a good thing, why
an experience is better than a performance, why it’s so important
to keep from being in Sea Kayaker magazine and why getting flipped
upside, pinned, and spun out in the grand-canyon can actually help
you relax.
