Reclaim Your Time & Play the Long Game with Dorie Clark & Jenny Blake

A dynamic conversation between authors Dorie Clark and Jenny Blake, hosted by Steven Morris

Live Event — Wednesday, July 13 at 2:30 pm ET / 11:30 am PT, 2022

It’s no secret that many of us feel pushed to the limit, rushed, overwhelmed, and perpetually behind. We keep our heads down, focused on an endless to-do list without a moment to breathe.

Do you feel like it’s time to reinvent your work, your life, your business?

Are you called to reclaim your precious and finite time?

How can you break out of the cycle of short-term thinking and create the kind of interesting, meaningful lives we all seek?

Fortunately, there are solutions to these persistent business and life challenges.

In this dynamic conversation, we’ll explore the intersections of The Long Game and Free Time, with a bit of The Beautiful Business, by Steven Morris, infused.

Our mindset (or view of the game we’re playing in business) and our time (how we manage the finite resources) become linchpins in each of us finding success as we define it.

Dorie Clark and Jenny Blake have spent significant time and energy researching, uncovering, and creating tools to maximize your impact and optimize your time.

“The Long Game” by Dorie Clark, answers the question of how to be a long-term thinker (and doer) in a short-term world.

And, Jenny Blake’s “Free Time” book teaches us how to lose the busywork that consumes our time.

Author, and brand and culture building strategist, Steven Morris, will host a dynamic conversation between two friends, Dorie and Jenny.

“Playing the long game—eschewing short-term gratification in order to work toward an uncertain but worthy future goal—isn’t easy. But it’s the surest path to meaningful and lasting success in a world that so often prioritizes what’s easy, quick, and ultimately shallow.”

― Dorie Clark
