— Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead Podcast
How to find focus and own your attention?
With everything that’s going on in the world, it can be sometimes hard to keep our attention in the right place. In her Dare to Lead podcast episode that came out yesterday, Brené Brown sat down with Dr. Amishi Jha to discuss exactly this: how to focus.
“We need to pay attention in order to have it go into long-term memory. What we often think is a memory problem, is actually an attention problem”, says Amishi.
If you want to own your attention and get better at focusing, we suggest you listen to this discussion.
