OPEN FOCUS ATTENTION TRAINING

You already know what you struggle with.

Most people do. They feel it in the recurring frustration, the relationship that never quite deepens, the work that never quite lands, the motivation that comes and goes without explanation.

What is harder to see is why, and what, specifically, would change it.

Generic advice on this is almost useless.

This framework begins with an assessment of how your attention works, identifying which styles feel natural to you and which ones you may want to develop. This part you have already completed.

It helps, because the gap between where you are and where you want to be is almost always an attentional gap. Not a character flaw. Not a lack of effort. But a specific way of paying attention that can be developed.

That is what the Intake Form is for.

It takes about five minutes. It asks for your questionnaire scores, a little about your situation, and one or two things about what you’ve already tried and what’s driving your interest.

Nothing you share here is judged, there are no impressive answers. The more honest you are the more useful the framework you receive will be.

Just fill the form, click save it as .pdf document and send to tomasz@openfocusattentiontraining.com

You will be sent a very individualised summary of how you could develop your attention skills, along with a sketch of a coaching plan for the next four weeks. Most people, after reading it, have an almost irresistible feeling that this is exactly what would work for them, a real “this hits home” moment.

If it resonates with you as well, we will be ready to start.

Below are some examples of how expanding your attentional flexibility could benefit you:

The Organiser

If any of these feel familiar, developing the Organiser style would help:

• Starting things but never finishing them
• Feeling vaguely behind no matter how much you do
• Losing track of what stage things are at
• Missing deadlines not because you do not care but because the structure collapsed somewhere between intention and execution
• Feeling overwhelmed when too many things are happening at once
• Being unreliable in the practical sense even when you mean well
• Letting important things fall through because you were not tracking them
• Feeling like your life is running you rather than the other way around

This is the style that gives your attention the ability to sequence, track, and complete. Once you develop it, you would find it easier to manage projects, coordinate commitments, meet deadlines, and follow through. Any role or situation that requires things to be done reliably and in the right order would become more natural, whether that is running a business, managing a team, handling finances, or simply getting through a week without dropping things.

Beyond work, daily life would feel less effortful. You would become someone who finishes things. Not just starts them with enthusiasm or understands them clearly, but actually completes them. Your reliability would change, not just emotionally, but practically. When you say something will happen, it would happen. And the gap between the life you are planning and the life you are actually living would begin to close.

The Performer

If any of these feel familiar, developing the Performer style would help:

• Finding it hard to stay motivated when you are not naturally inspired
• Feeling like you are going through the motions rather than really living
• A boredom that feels almost physical
• A sense that there is a more alive version of you that only shows up sometimes
• Creative work that feels effortful rather than flowing
• Difficulty sustaining effort on things that matter but do not excite you
• Being attentive in relationships but not fully present
• A persistent gap between the work you produce and the work you know you are capable of

This is the style behind flow, behind genuine creative output, behind the experience of being completely inside what you are doing rather than managing it from a slight distance. Once you develop it, you would find it easier to produce at a high level, perform under pressure, and sustain creative effort in the work that matters most to you. Artists, musicians, athletes, designers, writers, surgeons, teachers, speakers, anyone whose best work requires full immersion, operates from this style.

Beyond professional life, any activity you care about would become richer. Motivation would stop being something you have to manufacture. The version of you that feels most alive would show up more reliably, not only when conditions are perfect, but because you would know how to enter that state yourself.

The Strategist

If any of these feel familiar, developing the Strategist style would help:

• Making decisions and then wondering if you chose the right direction
• Being excellent at execution but unsure what to execute
• Feeling reactive rather than in control of where your life is heading
• The same situation appearing in your life for the second or third time
• Being good at your work but not good at making your work go anywhere
• Getting lost in the detail while the bigger picture moves without you
• Always solving the immediate problem rather than preventing the next one
• Missing the pattern in your own life until it is too late to change it

This is the style that gives your attention the ability to step back, see the whole board, and understand how the pieces relate to each other and to where you are trying to go. Once you develop it, you would find it easier to lead, build, make complex decisions, and navigate uncertainty. Entrepreneurs, executives, consultants, coaches, founders, investors, anyone who needs to coordinate multiple moving parts toward a goal, operates from this style.

Beyond work, it would change how you navigate your own life. Patterns that are currently invisible would become visible. The same situation that has appeared two or three times would become recognisable before it completes itself again. You would move from reactive to intentional, from busy to purposeful, from solving the same problems repeatedly to seeing them coming before they arrive.

The Connector

If any of these feel familiar, developing the Connector style would help:

• Feeling lonely even when surrounded by people
• Relationships that stay on the surface no matter how long they have existed
• Being liked but not truly known
• Not knowing what someone actually needs in a difficult conversation
• Coming across as capable but cold, or present but distant
• Missing what is happening emotionally in a room until it is already a problem
• Losing good relationships because you could not see what they needed before it was too late
• A persistent sense that human connection comes more naturally to other people than it does to you

This is the style behind genuine presence, behind the experience of being truly understood, behind the quality of human connection that most people spend their whole lives wanting and rarely receiving. Once you develop it, you would find it easier to work with people in any capacity, therapy, coaching, teaching, leadership, sales, negotiation, caregiving, parenting, management. Any role where the quality of human connection determines the quality of the outcome is a Connector domain.

Beyond profession, friendships would deepen, partnerships would become closer, and you would develop a sensitivity to the emotional field of situations that functions as a kind of practical intelligence. People would feel met by you at a level that most relationships never reach. And the loneliness that can exist even in a full life, even when surrounded by people who like and respect you, would begin to lift.
