Are you constantly putting out fires instead of building your future? This eye-opening Five-Minute Friday breaks down the four critical levels of time management that determine your productivity and success.

Level 2 (Managing) feels productive as you follow up with contacts and schedule meetings, but often leads to burnout without real progress. The transformation happens when you reach Level 3 (Building), where you actively create content, develop relationships...

What separates truly influential leaders from those who merely complete tasks? It all comes down to how they communicate. Laura Camacho, host of "Develop Your Executive Presence" podcast, reveals the critical mistake most leaders make: focusing too heavily on proving themselves rather than adding value to others.
