Productivity Playhouse Launching

I am happy to announce that I'm taking my show on the road with my workshop partner Katleen Newton. Katleen is an experienced workshop facilitator, and a practicianer of NLP and Hypnotherapy. Together we have launched a new entity called Productivity Playhouse. We will be delivering high quality workshops and facilitation coupled with fun to many corporations and organizations in the greater Toronto area and beyond. Initially we will be offering a free lunch and learn so you can try us before you hire us. 

We are offering workshops in goal setting, finding your personal power, stress reduction and work/life balance. We will be launching a website shortly at www.productivityplayhouse.com so you can check there for more information. I'm looking forward to working with groups again and if you would like to have us come in to do a workshop for your organization, please give me a shout.

Welcome to October

I’ve spent a large part of the previous month talking to a lot of different people about self-discipline. I’ve learned how differently we all master our days, and about how I work too. You can read the article I wrote about self discipline in the previous post. I also gave a workshop on motivation and self-discipline for a group of entrepreneurs in Whitby.

I have recommended Dr. Timothy Pychyl’s podcasts on procrastination to many clients for his learned and practical approach. I highly recommend one I found very useful for understanding human behaviour. The link is: http://iprocrastinate.libsyn.com/a_useful_theory_for_understanding_our_behaviour

In today's world, balancing school, work, kids and more, most of us can only hope for the recommended eight hours of sleep. Examining the science behind our body's internal clock, Jessa Gamble reveals the surprising and substantial program of rest we should be observing in this short TED video.
