Bring Your Best Questions to Tomorrow’s Online Workshop

February 17, 2020 by Matt Perman

One of the best things about the online workshops is that they provide an opportunity for questions. I also happen to love questions–the more challenging, the better. Q&A is one of my favorite things.

So if you’ve signed up for tomorrow’s workshop, bring some of your hardest questions! After the presentation, you can ask anything about how to get unstuck from your most difficult productivity challenges or about productivity in general. You might ask things like:

  • I get stuck from having so much email. How do I cut it down or process it better?
  • My project is at a plateau. How do I move it forward?
  • I get stuck from constant interruptions. How do I handle them better?
  • My to-do list annoys me; how do I make it better?
  • I feel pulled in a thousand directions and constantly torn. How do I create more balance?
  • What is the process for getting unstuck from anything?
  • What does it even mean to get unstuck?

These are just a few ideas. We are going to give a lot of focus to questions tomorrow, so come with your most relevant and challenging questions and we will try to get you unstuck!

And if you haven’t signed up yet for the webinar, you can still do so until midnight EST tonight.

UPDATE: Registration for this event is now closed. Thank you.

How to Get Unstuck in 2020 Using Design Thinking—Next Week’s Online Workshop

February 10, 2020 by whatsbestnext

UPDATE: Registration for this event is now closed. Thank you.

The new decade has begun…and most of us have probably already blown our New Year’s resolutions. Is there a way to get back on track?

Or, even apart from any New Year’s resolutions, we often have goals and meaningful projects that we are pursuing–but we’re stuck. We keep hitting obstacles (whether external or internal) that get in our way.

How do we get unstuck and accomplish our goals—with less effort, greater impact, and more margin? And how do we do this in a gospel-centered way, arising from God’s grace rather than sheer willpower? It is possible! Part of the answer is learning how to think like a designer and applying design thinking to our obstacles.

In this upcoming online workshop (next Tuesday, February 18th at 11:00 AM CST), Matt Perman will give you 4 tools, based in design thinking, for getting unstuck in a gospel-centered way that you can put into practice right away.

Spots are limited so be sure to reserve your virtual seat before registration closes on February 16th.

UPDATE: Registration for this event is now closed. Thank you.

Love as a Leadership Style

February 6, 2020 by Matt Perman

This is an excellent, short article on how love is central to good leadership. We don’t often think about how love has a place in the workforce, but a growing body of research is showing that it creates a better work environment (no surprise there) and increases performance. It is also better for your own career if you are guided by good will toward others (= love), as Tim Sanders showed in his landmark book Love is the Killer App. 

And, beyond that, it is the right thing to do.

The big take-away from this article is: “Highly effective leaders use love and discipline to elevate others.”

Leadership as a way of elevating others, not yourself. That is a very biblical idea.

It is the leadership application of the Golden Rule.
