Join us for a thoughtful discussion about how the world around us is intentionally putting obstacles in our way to negatively impact our ability to focus, concentrate, and do our best work. We will review the 12 main factors that are contributing to our collective loss of concentration and shortening of our attention span. Findings are obtained from Johann Hari’s most recent book, Stolen Focus. Although this is intended for school leaders, we will also touch on how this “targeted distraction” is impacting the children we serve as they grow and learn to be our future leaders.
