Is Your Focus Your Magic?

Presenter: Laura Burford

Overview

Whether you are starting a consulting business or expanding one, your clarity of vision is important. However, there is another key ingredient that if not properly defined and implemented, hinders your progress. That ingredient is Your Focus. Your focus is the foundation, the “why” and “what”, of your business.

This presentation, with the help of real-life success stories, discusses the key components for defining and refining your focus, the impact of focus on all aspects of your business, and the importance of communicating focus to clients/customers and employees. Walk away with a handout and at least one idea that you can implement immediately.

Objectives

  1. Recognize the three key criteria required to define and refine their focus.
  2. Identify the influence of their focus on their business decisions.
  3. Define ways to communicate focus to employees and clients.
