DO WHAT MATTERS MOST WEBINAR (VIRTUAL)

Do What Matters Most – 6-hour Webinar

A Thoughtful Person’s Guide to Decisive Action
This class teaches a radically positive approach to doing challenging work. I call this approach “focused action,” as opposed to “hard work,” because such work takes effort – often a lot of effort. But it’s not well-described as hard.

What turns challenging work into “hard” work is a mistaken approach to tackling challenges, that builds in negative experiences and long-term conflict. If you ever work by shutting down your feelings, forcing yourself to keep going forward, or treating the work as a test of your self-worth, you have made your work unnecessarily difficult and conflicted. This mistaken approach creates tremendous pressure and eventually leads to burn out. It is what makes work “hard” as opposed to just effortful.

This is no way to live, and no way to work.

The methods in this class are a far cry from the typical advice to “Just do it.” People say you need to “power through.” You should “force yourself” because you have “no choice.” This stressful, duty-based approach may show some results in the short-term. However, in the long-term it fosters a vicious cycle of burnout, fueled by guilt and self-doubt. You become your own slave master, whipping yourself to “do the right thing,” regardless of how you feel or what it does to you, because otherwise you are “no good.”

In reaction to that kind of self-flagellation and added stress, some people wait to act until they are miraculously motivated. Others throw up their hands and don’t attempt to do what matters most at all.

This class offers a true alternative: a self-respectful approach to identifying and embracing what matters most, then following through with determination. This is an approach that fuels your sense of pride and confidence.

In this class, you will learn:

How to quickly reveal critical issues so you can be confident you’ve identified your top priority now
How to transform the unpleasant feelings that accompany making hard choices into a source of positive motivation
A powerful tool for choosing the best option when you are in the midst of the thorniest of conflicts
The key to handling resistance and temptation without just resorting to pressuring yourself
This class reflects my (Jean Moroney’s) distinctive perspective on productivity. The problems people have setting priorities are thinking problems – thinking problems that sabotage action. The remedy lies in learning how to manage your mind so that you can solve problems faster, eliminate emotional overload, and re-frame goals so that they motivate you to follow through. When you get your head in the game, action follows.

This is a jam-packed, transformational class.
Let’s sum up what you get for you investment:

A decision-making process that handles the thorniest conflict
Powerful tools for coping with intense emotions that get in the way of taking action
The secret to identifying what really matters without using up all of your time
The key to following through on priorities without driving yourself crazy
A chance to test drive the tactics on your own decisions during the workshop
Surprising insights into how to use what you already know more effectively
A detailed workbook for doing exercises
My new Thinking Tactics manual: The Thinker’s Toolkit
A 2-page summary sheet for quick reference
Complimentary membership in the Thinking Lab for two months so you can get more tactics, more practice, and more help

From Fortune 500 executives to independent entrepreneurs, artists, and writers, Jean has shown her clients how to embark with confidence on new, uncertain projects and finish what they start.

Ms. Moroney earned a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT. By the time she was 25, she was managing a $1.2 million dollar program at a small subsidiary of United Technologies. To her surprise, she became more interested in the thinking processes she was using than the problems she was solving. At 28, she switched careers and earned an MS in psychology from Carnegie-Mellon. Over time she developed a unique set of tools that enable thinkers to deal quickly with mental obstacles, so they can stay focused on the most important task at hand. Clients reported savings in money, time, and frustration—as they use the tactics to unleash their own creativity to tackle business and personal challenges. In addition to speaking in all over North America, she runs an online mentoring program called, “The Thinking Lab.” Her corporate clients include Microsoft, Amazon.com, Rogers Communications, and BB&T.

Fees for remote presentations may be lower than for on-site.
