The Power of Attention in Y-Our Journey

To get the results you want, you need to get the attention of important stakeholders, including your colleagues, investigators, and institutional leadership. Too often, we see attention as a transaction or something to trade. The truth is, it’s much more complex than that. When building connections and long-term loyalty, attention is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

To get the attention and buy-in of others, you need to appeal to them on three levels: personal, professional, and global. Neen James, author of Attention Pays™ has designed a professional methodology to leverage all three, helping individuals and organizations to be more deliberate about the choices they make and the actions they take.

With the gift of your intentional attention, you’ll see increased productivity and accountability within your teams and your institution. You’ll develop memorable experiences and focus on what really matters, personally and professionally.

In this high-energy, interactive, practical session, you’ll learn:

  • Why we get attention wrong - and how to get it right
  • The three types of attention and how to master each
  • Strategies to design your environment for elevated attention and focus
  • How to demonstrate your appreciation of others through focused attention
  • A simple framework to elevate every conversation and articulate your values

Be sure to join us for this year's 66th Annual Meeting, to be a part of Neen James's keynote address on Monday, August 5, 2024.
