Do you feel like you’re working longer, hurrying faster, sleeping and exercising less, jumping from one phone call to another and at the same time writing and emailing?
If the answer is ‘yes’, you might well have Attention Deficit Trait, says Helen Tribe, communications trainer.
“With constant intrusions and disruptions in our daily lives, we are all finding our thoughts are distracted,” she says.
“It is hard to make decisions, we feel panicky, fidgety, guzzle too much coffee and, even though we are working flat out, we still don’t feel on top.”
Attention Deficit Trait, identified by psychiatrist Dr Edward Hallowell, is a work-induced attention deficit disorder.
Ms Tribe, who will be presenting at the Brisbane EA PA Congress in August, says there is good news for sufferers. The destructive impact of Attention Deficit Trait in the workplace can be counteracted.
At the EA PA Congress she will discuss communications strategies to enhance communications performance in all areas of life, and increase personal power.
She will also conduct an interactive workshop on networking.
“Handing out lots of cards does not mean you have networked,” she says. “It just means you have handed out lots of cards.
“Networking is an invaluable interpersonal skill, and it enhances business performance and career prospects.”
At Ms Tribe’s workshop, participants will learn to create mutually beneficial relationships easily and have fun at the same time.
The EA PA Congress will be held the Brisbane Marriott Hotel on 25-26 August. Further information: www.iir.com.au/eapabrisbane
