Break Free from the Busyness Trap:
Achieving More with Less
In a world that sees busyness as a badge of honor, I've focused on conducting in-depth research that exposes the truth:
Our packed-to-the-rafters schedules can actually make us less productive, less happy, and less capable of fulfilling our dreams. I love sharing these ideas with audiences using personal stories, humor, and strategies for change in a way that results in transformation.
I've traveled the world inspiring thousands of people with ways to optimize performance. By sharing my own struggles with addiction to busyness, I connect with audiences through vulnerability, bravery, and hope on topics including productivity, work-life balance, burnout, effective teamwork, employee engagement, female empowerment and values in the workplace.

Peggy’s work is data-driven and uses proprietary research to deeply understand the challenges of today so she can offer effective and actionable solutions. Her proprietary research shows 78% of the population is stuck on a “Hamster Wheel” and does not know how to get off.

Leveraging Values-Based Time Management
As the demands of the workplace continue to increase, managing time and tasks have become crucial to achieving success.

Peggy’s work is data-driven and uses proprietary research to deeply understand the challenges of today so she can offer actionable and effective solutions. Her proprietary research shows two-thirds of respondents believe their values are the key to productivity and quality of life.
Clearly, being able to articulate “what’s important” personally and professionally leads to improved productivity, engagement, and satisfaction. When companies invest in unlocking their employees’ values, their workforce can unleash their energy wholeheartedly, leading to increased productivity and better results.
Investing in employees’ values is a winning situation for both the company and the individual. When employees feel valued and supported, they bring their best energy to work, resulting in brand loyalty, bottom-line increases in productivity, employee satisfaction, and lower costs due to reduced burnout and turnover. In this session, employees will learn why time management only goes so far, a methodology to unlock more meaningful authentic values, and how to make them actionable with the right tools and new habits.

Unleashing your human potential requires a strong positive mindset and maximizing every micro-moment. When we are happy, individuals, teams, and businesses become more engaged, purposeful, profitable, and effective.

Life is more enjoyable and productive when we consciously make happiness actionable. This involves learning how to flex your happiness muscle regardless of the circumstances.
