Mark McKeon talks about:

The Go Zone

Doing the important things without excuse or distraction (Go Zones). Developing a habit to get more done, while enjoying periods of lower intensity (Slow Zones) and total guilt free periods of recovery (No Zones). Learn how to be in the right ‘Zone’ at the right time, and how to transition effectively.

The Go Zone strategies unlock an elevated level of thought, behavior and execution, available to us when we need to be at our best, and the ability to recovery quickly and effectively…a skill that so many of us lack!

The Go Zone is much more than time management. It boosts productivity, wellbeing and resilience, in all aspects of career and life!

Embracing Change

Change is inevitable (except from vending machines). Don’t just deal with it, embrace it. Only when you embrace that change is inevitable will you be in a position to reap the rewards that change can bring!

Denial (the Titanic can’t sink) and Resistance (It’s not fair, I’m staying on board) are outmoded. Learn how to move beyond these obstacles to Adjustment (better check for lifeboats just in case) and Acceptance (better here in the lifeboat than back on the sinking ship).

Enliven your team’s response to change and unlock personal and team opportunities and accountabilities.
