Focus

FOCUS is the ability to concentrate on a given task which leads to greater productivity and it is one of the things that sets successful people apart from others.
Now that you've done your FOCUS assessment and you've had a chance to read through your profile, you may feel like it's fairly self-explanatory, but knowing a little bit about this can go a long way..
Understanding how the brain works can really help to increase focus and as the brain is like a muscle we have to train it to make it stronger.
Those who are highly focused tend to be aware of distractions and have strategies in place to limit them, whereas those who can lack some focus can be prone to becoming easily distracted and often have many tasks on the go at any one time.
Highly focused people tend to achieve more than those who are not, or they say no to more so that they can achieve their own priorities.
People who lack focus can miss deadlines or leave things to the last minute as they are often juggling and then there's those in between who can be fairly focused, they know the times to focus and can knuckle down and get the work done.
Now that you have an awareness on FOCUS, it can be really helpful to recognise it in yourself and others particularly those who you notice can become easily distracted or not able to prioritise well.
If you want to be successful, it's worthwhile honing the ability to focus, the great news is, it is something that we can all work on, and coaching can help to do this, as coaching is all about asking questions to raise self-awareness, thinking differently by looking at things from a different perspective and putting new behaviours into practice to create long term change.
So, we've carefully chosen specific micro-coaching exercises and challenges to help you work on further developing focus, and even better, they don't take long to complete.
And remember, throughout the module, you can make commitments to yourself to start to do some things differently.
So, why not make a start now.
