When it comes down to time management, we believe that we must “design, or be designed.”
Being “designed” means living in a world where our calendars are open-sourced, and it feels like there’s a never-ending amount of distractions and to-dos.
”Designing” means taking action to align our activities with our priorities for ultimate impact and fulfillment.
Whether you’re an individual contributor, manager, or VP, this workshop will help you gain new perspective on your time and leave with a clear path for sustainable leadership.
This workshop is for all disciplines, levels, and roles.

The workshop will be a mix of short lectures, solo reflection, and group activities. It’s a highly participatory remote workshop. Participants should be prepared to participate in a quiet space with stable wifi.
