Get That Spark Back for Life
"Too Busy For Your Own Good"

Once you start asking what else you can fit into your schedule, where does it end? In these challenging times of “do more with less” -- are you forced to multitask to get it all done? And, even if you get it all done, there’s still more!

This topic is so important and particularly at this time as it helps people and organizations make vital adjustments in their personal lives and careers to manage the multiple decisions and requests being placed in all areas of life – especially in a “do more with less” economy.  The demands of busyness can destroy our balance in life…our health, relationships, finances, and career. Busyness can scramble our priorities and all too often in the wrong order …leading us into stress and a “just hold on” lifestyle. Connie delivers solid content with a style that is engaging and versatile while providing life-changing principles for individuals and organizations to make wise decisions in managing activities, people, deadlines, and endless to-do lists (providing enough time to recharge “to do” the things that are really needed “to do”).

Based on extensive research from her latest book, Too Busy for your Own Good (McGraw-Hill, 2009), Connie encourages her audience to take action with a supportive, practical plan for bringing new vitality into your life to get that spark back.
