Face to Face Programs

How to be a Productivity Ninja

This is the Productivity Ninja flagship program. It is a 6-hour in-house program based on Graham Allcott’s best-selling book, ‘How to Be a Productivity Ninja’. The program is designed to bring clarity, confidence and control to our working lives that are bombarded by demands from an ever-increasing stream of demands from multiple of channels. We can never address them all so we need a system to choose wisely and efficiently.  In so doing we finish our working day feeling fulfilled, satisfied and content, rather than anxious, overwhelmed and unsure.

The program achieves this by helping participants develop:

  • a workable system to structure work productively, and
  • an effective approach to work that ensures a smooth and successful workflow.

The key elements of the program are:

  • identification of current productivity and well-being challenges,
  • attention (not time) management,
  • boss thinking versus worker thinking,
  • good work versus everything else,
  • the CORD productivity tool, and
  • outsourcing to a second brain.

The program can be run for an individual through a coaching framework or for a group who can co-create, support and enable a system and approach that becomes part of their culture. Individuals benefit from less stress, a greater sense of calm and higher levels of achievement. The organisation benefits from greater productivity, a happier workforce, better decision making and more efficient and effective communication. There are a number of smaller separate programs also offered under Productivity Ninja®.

Getting your Inbox to Zero

This 3-hour workshop addresses the common problem of having thousands of emails and only a few that really matter – those few we call ‘goldmines’ and ‘landmines’. 

Buried amongst all the others, these can create an underlying level of stress. We help you get your inbox to zero on the day, and show you how to keep it there while retaining the important emails to be processed calmly and systematically.
