The Inner Edge:
10 Practices of Personal Leadership

From:

Joelle K. Jay
Santa Barbara: CA, ABC CLIO (2009)

Finding focus is about choosing where to put your time, energy, and attention. It’s a selection process – something like the steps you go through when you take a photograph. Getting the vision for your life is like using the wide-angle lens. It gives you the opportunity to take in a lot at once. Finding focus, by contrast, is zooming in on one specific picture, then another, than another.

Finding your focus moves you from…

• Chaos to control
• Overwhelming to manageable
• Random to strategic
• Complex to simple
• Abstract to concrete
• General to specific
