Tools to Help You Now
We offer these time management tools and techniques based on our revolutionary new understanding of time …
Your Problem? Everything is Urgent
No one wants to waste time. But a workplace of presumed urgency is toxic for health, efficiency and effectiveness.
Our solution: Question Urgency™ (QU). In this introductory workshop, taking just two hours, we help your people stop the vicious cycle of presumed urgency.
Your team members will make big progress in effective time management, setting boundaries, prioritizing the truly urgent and important tasks … and breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Your Problem? Leaders are Drowning
How you spend time is critical to success. But many business leaders have no time to lead. Some struggle to stay afloat. Others know their calendar is not the calendar of a leader–it is filled with unimportant meetings that stifle their potential.
Our Solution: For those in leadership positions who need rapid support, we offer 1:1 Calendar Coaching. We work with you, side-by-side, to triage your schedule, implement effective time management strategies, and transform your calendar from a prison to a possibility. Just three sessions can make an immediate difference for senior business leaders who want to take charge of a new role, find time to lead, or simply feel good again.
Your Problem? No Time of What Matters
Are you doing the real work, the work you need to do? Or is your day driven by duty, a block of soulless, unproductive meetings?

You learn how to bring laser-sharp intention to each segment of time, enabling you to reduce distraction, end procrastination, eliminate back-to-back meetings, give things the right amount of time, and design meetings that are engaging, productive, and inspiring. With TimeFraming, available for both business leaders and their team members, you learn to improve your time management skills and manage your time effectively by making each hour, each day, each meeting, and each moment matter.

Additional Solutions for Teams and Organizations
Consulting
The secret sauce for true organizational effectiveness is “time.” Your failure to grasp this truth is the problem. Decision-making takes too long. Teams are mired in unimportant things. Business processes are clunky. Deadlines are weaponized. Each team member has different time needs but no one is listening. Meetings are unproductive. People are dutiful but uninspired. Leaders don’t create the right time for the right conversations. You’re surrounded by time wasters. There’s no time for review, recovery, learning, strategy, vision, or innovation.
We can help.
As consultants in time management, leadership, and organizational effectiveness, we help you figure out what’s really causing the stuckness and stress. Then we help you create a “time culture” that elevates performance and liberates momentum, making your workplace healthy, efficient, and exciting.
Keynotes
What do you need in a keynote speaker? Someone who will speak to the deepest and most pressing need of your audience. Someone who will inspire them to think differently about this and offering them radical, new solutions. Your people know that time management is essential. That’s why you need a keynote speaker on time. We help your audience understand the way time is changing at work in this “always on” world, the impact of trends like AI, how to get on top of stress and burnout, and how to make time for what matters.

The Order of Time
What’s Different About How We Work
We Focus on the person, not the clock
We don’t treat you like a cog in a machine. Instead, our highly coached processes are based on self-awareness, understanding, and conversation.
Nor do we impose “cookie cutter” solutions. Instead, we help you discover the time management tools for leaders that actually work for you … and then find “you-friendly” ways to implement them.
We Think Differently About Time
1. “Time Management” is out of date.
Old-school time management is a rusty relic of the Industrial Era. Born of assembly lines, white-coated efficiency experts, stopwatches, and time/motion studies, its purpose was to help managers extract more value from laborers. While this made sense when people made stuff and enjoyed quaint things like lunch hours and weekends, it doesn’t make sense with a diverse, hybrid workforce who work across multiple time zones and are always contactable. And it doesn’t make sense in a complex, information economy where time is not related to output, where an amazing idea that takes just one moment can be worth billions.
2. Productivity is not the solution.
Old-school time management is based on a lie: that being more productive will give you more time. Consider this: We humans have been boosting efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity for thousands of years, developing ever more powerful “time saving” devices, tools, and technologies, creating more and more time management tools and techniques … and yet we feel busier than ever.
3. Time is not external.
Old-school time management assumes that time is an external problem, a hard fact of nature, something that people should be able to control, measure, manipulate. But much of what is considered “time” is a human construct—a set of beliefs, rules, and habits that have more to do with politics, culture, and individual hopes, dreams, and fears, than nature.
What this means is that you’ll never fix time just by getting a new gadget or focusing only on what’s out there—you have to change something “in here.” You have to change how you show up in each moment.

What our Clients Say
Having been around this topic in HR for a long time, I had never seen anything like this program before. This was completely new material and an amazing learning.

Once you have this language you can’t help sharing it. The timing is so perfect for what is needed in the world right now.
Caroline Barth, Chief Human Resources Officer, Lonza
When was the last time you sat with yourself to consider what you do with your time and how you relate to time? When you use time as an excuse, or feel it as an oppressor, a healer or money-maker. This course gives you a unique opportunity to do this … taking a closer look at your views about “time” and having the opportunity to explore your beliefs and values that shaped who you are, how you relate to time, what you do with your time, and what time you are denying yourself, among other things.

Inspiring, impactful, necessary.
