Practical tools for choosing what truly matters so you can lead with focus, balance, and impact.
About this Event

Feeling stretched thin by competing demands? Drowning in “urgent” tasks that leave little time for what actually matters? You’re not alone.

In this engaging one-hour workshop, part of our lunch leadership series, you’ll gain practical tools for making smarter, more confident prioritization decisions. Designed for entrepreneurs and small-business leaders, this session blends proven frameworks with real-world relevance, so you can cut through the noise and focus energy where it counts.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Apply three reliable tools for clarifying priorities and tradeoffs
  • Distinguish what’s truly important from what merely feels urgent
  • Balance short-term results with long-term sustainability 
  • Reduce overwhelm and refocus your team’s effort where it has the greatest impact

Through interactive discussion and hands-on exercises, you’ll practice applying these frameworks to your own “too many fires” scenarios. You’ll leave with fresh clarity, a practical worksheet you can use right away, and a renewed sense of control over your time and energy.

Perfect for founders, team leads, and small-business owners who need to focus their efforts for maximum impact.


Lunch is provided!
