LIAM 006 – Personal Branding: The Art of Being Present

In Episode #6 of the Life Is A Marathon show, I urge you to stop thinking that multitasking is a good thing. It’s not! I talk about the benefits, personally and professionally, of practicing the art of being present–giving your undivided attention to people. This another “personal branding” episode designed to help you build a life–your brand–that people want to engage with and promote.

Quotes from the show:

Wherever you are, be all there! — Jim Elliot
