The Power of Attention is a highly interactive, minds-on workshop that offers participants the opportunity to experience personal growth and empowerment. Emphasizing the true freedoms of the human experience ATTENTION and EFFORT, this workshop first introduces audience members to the real time act of paying attention. Participants will explore personal and corporate distractions and develop the skills necessary to turn away from the negative and turn towards the more positive, effective and productive.

Throughout the workshop, August provides participants with immediately accessible tools and techniques to better understand the meaning of attention and effort and how to better engage those freedoms in pursuit of behavior change, increased awareness and higher levels of performance.

Once introduced to the art of paying attention, participants are invited to build their very own and individualized tool box of truisms. These truisms will help to redirect us when life and the world around us introduce potential distractions.

This workshop is ideal for anyone facing occupational, relational or interpersonal difficulties as well as those interested in improving their overall health, functioning and joy in living.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be better able to:

  1. Exercise mindfulness in their daily lives

  2. Recognize their personal, social and professional distractions

  3. Leverage personal truisms when presented with opportunities for personal growth

  4. Understand the true meaning of "discomfort" and it's place in achievement

  5. Embrace the concept of competition with self and cooperation with others
