leadership
productivity
Welcome to the rising frontier of
competitive advantage
I partner with leadership teams to sustainably improve their personal productivity.
They're prioritising human connection, presence and strategic focus by investing at source.
Our Purpose
We work collaboratively with leadership teams who are breaking free of busy by investing at the very source of strategic delivery - their own productivity.
Back-to-back meetings, endless distractions, limitless priorities, no time to think! These are the traps that smart leadership teams are now beginning to avoid. They’re building calmer, more thoughtful and creative behaviours for themselves, and setting an engaging cultural example for colleagues. But the reality is, it’s not easy breaking free when ‘busy’ habits are light to be felt, and heavy to be broken. Personal productivity goes largely untrained (amazingly!) and rarely do leaders get the opportunity to step back and think about how they use their time, energy and minds. This is why I launched BrainSpace and haven’t looked back since.
And the 'busy' leadership teams who aren’t yet investing in their personal productivity? Well, maybe they’re already paying for it.
Make your leadership team’s personal productivity a central part of your competitive advantage.
