Reclaim Up to Five Hours a Week
Time Poverty affects how leaders and teams think, prioritize and perform. When too much time is consumed by meetings, competing demands and low-value work, there’s less capacity for the priorities that drive performance, growth and meaningful results.
Peggy’s research-backed Performance by Design framework helps individuals and organizations identify where time and energy are being lost, eliminate unnecessary work and make more intentional choices about what matters most.
Through practical strategies, engaging stories and original workplace research, Peggy shows audiences how to reclaim up to five hours a week and put that capacity toward better performance, stronger relationships and a fuller life.
Audiences reclaim up to seven hours a week!
Individual and organizational time poverty affects everyone’s ability to think clearly, prioritize effectively, and maintain high-quality performance. My research-backed message doesn’t just improves employee engagement — it makes businesses more productive and successful. Bottom line metrics have improved sales, creativity and employee retention.
When both people and organizations have their needs met, incredible things happen.
I developed the Busy Busting Framework, a research-backed, results-driven system that reduces decision fatigue, eliminates low-value activities, and drives meaningful results in performance, health, and engagement.
My talks equip individuals and organizations to redesign the way they work—and live.
