Laura Stack's Webinar: SuperCompetent: The Six Keys to Perform at Your Productive Best

I attended the webinar Laura Stack hosted today on her new book: SuperCompetent: The Six Keys to Perform at Your Productive Best.
Her new book (the same title as her webinar) was actually released TODAY!! (Congrats Laura!)

The 60-minute webinar was SUPER valuable!! Laura went through action steps on how to achieve peak performance in the workplace. "The new mantra is "buckle down!" These times are about a return to quality rather than quantity—all of us must learn to be competent—and not just plain, old-fashioned competent, but SuperCompetent™.  In this competitive economy, just being able to do your job is no longer enough. Competence is expected; you’ve got to be SuperCompetent to get an edge. Whether you’re an employee, an entrepreneur, a team leader, or all of the above, SuperCompetent will give you proven methods to reach your and your team’s maximum potential and achieve breakthrough results. You’ll get to your productive best by mastering six keys to peak performance:
  1. Activity: the value and importance you place on your work
  2. Availability: your ability to master your schedule
  3. Attention: the capacity to focus intently and concentrate on tasks
  4. Accessibility: the ability to organize the inputs and outputs in your life
  5. Accountability: the extent to which you take personal responsibility for your actions and outcomes
  6. Attitude: your motivation, drive, and proactiveness"




She was AMAZING! Laura has a true knack of taking to big groups, but you feel like she is specifically talking to you. It's always nice to carve out one hour of your day and truly feel like it was time well spent. Thanks Laura! For those of you who would like to be more productive & get more things done, feel more value & accomplished with the things you did by the end of the day (and give you more reason to enjoy your "off" time and work 'smarter, not harder', I'd definitely recommend reading Laura's new book (I can't wait) as well as listening to her speak!
