Business Productivity Coaching

Together, we will:
- Customize productivity tools to maximize your strengths
- Help you prioritize tasks so you work with less stress

- Streamline your workspace to support productivity and focus
- Leverage technology to enhance your work and reduce overwhelm
“Time management isn’t about managing your time — it’s about managing your work.” — Ellen Faye
“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.” ~ Warren Buffett
Focus and Setting Priorities
Saying “NO” is the most powerful productivity tool ever, however, saying “NO” isn’t always so easy. The Myers Briggs Foundation estimates that 46% of the US population are Perceivers (last letter – P or J). Perceivers inherently like to keep their options open, and it goes against their nature to say “no.” What are you supposed to do? Getting clear on goals and priorities helps.
As your Productivity Coach I will:
- Support you in developing a personal strategic plan to guide your work. This plan will help you to
- Clarify what’s important and set your goals accordingly
- Set priorities to support your goals and drive results
- Support you in conducting weekly focus sessions to keep you on target
- Help you to help those you work with to develop goals and priorities, and if desired, work with them as well
- Teach you my personalized system for managing ongoing priorities
