Well 2012 is over and done with and we are now already two days into 2013. Over the holidays I´ve been thinking about the year ahead and have lots of exciting things planned which will keep me busy. In honour of it now being 2013 I´ve got 13 things I think we can expect to see in the year ahead. Role diversification.

Limit interruptions. Learn more.

I decided to pull out this Monday Motivator from 2013 because it is a favorite of mine, still holds true and in fact, I believe it to be truer than ever before. Since I wrote this in 2013, I have expanded my mind to the worlds of: Focus instead of multitasking. What can you learn from them to enhance your own communication skills?
