Live Intro:
Pt1: Tim Clue wants your focus but knows this introduction won’t help get it. Before he was an educator, speaker, playwright, innovator, or father—Tim was a left-handed, undiagnosed, hyperactive dyslexic rug rat.
Pt2: He's opened for Jerry Seinfeld, and performed before a former U.S. President (George H.W. Bush), and is a late comer to the title of owner and developer.
Pt3:Tim sees a need to help us all rethink team focus as connection, conversation, and engagement. So get ready to experience his mission, his methods, and a little madness."
Please welcome Focus Finder and mind re-set prompt, Tim Clue!
