One of the most important — perhaps THE most important — is learning to manage ourselves. That means knowing when and where we spend our time in order to have the greatest impact. Another key to building influence is forging strong, mutually beneficial connections that grow into real relationships. Both of these things require that we carve out time (and SPACE), and make the proactive, conscious effort needed to grow our networks and create valuable connections. </p> <p> </p> <p>THIS WEEK’S GUEST: I’m solo this week! </p> <p> </p> <p>KEY TOPICS:</p> <p>WHY HAVING A “WORD OF THE YEAR” CAN BE IMPORTANT FOR SETTING PRIORITIES AND ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS.</p> <p>HOW TO USE YOUR VISION BOARD TO PICK YOUR WORD.</p> <p>THE POWER OF “WHITE SPACE” ON YOUR SCHEDULE—- IT’S MORE THAN JUST A GOOD DESIGN CONCEPT. </p> <p>WHY BEING INTENTIONAL IS IMPORTANT FOR BUILDING IN TIME FOR CONNECTION AND GROWTH.</p> <p>HOW TO ELIMINATE A “TIME THIEF” THAT ZAPS YOUR CREATIVITY AND WASTES YOUR TIME.</p> <p>JOCELYN GLEI QUOTE REFERENCED: “In design, white space is negative space. It’s not blank space because it has a purpose. It is balancing the rest of the design by throwing what is on the page (or screen) into relief. The white space helps you focus your visual attention.”</p> <p> </p> <p>What’s your word of the year? Is it helping you stay aligned with your priorities and goals for 2022?
