Breakout Session: The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results (based on a book by Jay Papasan and Gray Keller)
Do you want fewer distractions and less on your plate? The daily barrage of e-mails, texts, tweets, messages, and meetings distract you and stress you out. You want more productivity. Now you can have both – less and more. In this session you will learn how to:
• Master what matters
• Build momentum toward your goal
• Stay on track

What's your ONE Thing? Behind every successful person is their ONE Thing. No matter how success is measured, personal or professional, only the ability to dismiss distractions and concentrate on your ONE Thing stands between you and your goals. The ONE Thing is about getting extraordinary results in every situation.
