Helping with (High Performance) AND (Low stress) for you and your team 🕕 Less & Better Meetings 🕒 Optimized Processes 🕒 Habits 🕒Tools for better control and perspective

I help individuals and teams to find FLOW, harmony between high productivity and joyful life.  
With the best available productivity solutions.
**********************************
As a CERTIFIED GTD® trainer I help people to apply a practical approach for sustainably managing their lives. 
Emails, calendar, phone, media – all commitments under control, in order to create MENTAL SPACE for creativity and presence. This is not a fast „15 tips and tricks“-type approach. We give you the tools and hold your hand for months - until you acquire the necessary HABITS.
By the way - tested over 100 "time management" solutions...so you do not need to
***********************************

I am on the quest of taming „BAD MEETINGS“. 
With my own, science-based framework I help companies to eliminate unnecessary meetings and make the remaining ones excellent. Most companies burn incredible amount of resources in bad meetings (e.g. a 2 hour ineffective weekly checkup with only 5 participant managers costs you at least 200 lost manhours a year – you do the cost math...). Bear in mind that any bad meeting results in other unnecessary meetings... eliminating and improving meetings brings also compound interest.

My services in this area range from COURSES, teaching you the transformational know-how, through REDESIGNing individual meetings, up to to assessing and optimising complete „meeting networks“ (MEETING CULTURE change).

************************************
I use an effective VISUAL COACHING technique to help clients (both individuals and teams) get clear on their challenges, find viable options and actually follow through with their actions.

In all above areas I serve as an ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER, regularly checking in on the progress.

************************************
Two decades of industrial experience, very strong technical and leadership background. Continuous learning and focus on people, balanced view of the big picture and critical details.

I will be glad to get in touch with you and answer any of your questions. Even if we at last do not make business 😊 (although I hope we do).
