Do you feel torn between taking advantage of emerging opportunities while balancing the demands of employees, customers, partners, and other stakeholders? If so, you’re not alone. Even the most successful leaders wrestle with this challenge. What is the key to staying focused and productive as you’re faced with competing business priorities in the rapidly changing world?
This week, we revisit our conversation about this challenge with Penny Zenker, one of America’s leading experts in the psychology of productivity. Her newest book, The Reset Mindset: Get Unstuck, Focus on What Matters Most, and Reach Your Goals Faster, was just published on September 3rd, 2024. In honor of her book launch, we’re revisiting the conversation we had with her earlier this year.
Penny is a “focusologist,” international speaker, business strategy coach, and best-selling author. She focuses on eliminating distraction, perfectionism, and self-sabotage to maximize results in every area of life.
Penny’s earlier book “The Productivity Zone: Stop the Tug of War with Time” was an instant Amazon Best Seller. Her engaging, inspiring interactive talks teach people to think and act more strategically, and her TEDx talk, “The Energy of Thought,” has gained attention around the world. NBC News, Forbes, Inc., ESPN, and Wharton Business Radio, among others have also featured Penny’s insights.
