On this episode of A Productive Conversation, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erik Qualman, a best-selling author and keynote speaker who has reached over 50 million people in over 55 countries! We dive into his latest book, The Focus Project, and explore the topic of focus and how it can impact your life.
“Cope with what you can’t control. Command what you can control. That’s how you conquer the day.”
This simple yet profound idea invites us to reflect on the nature of control, how it affects our well-being, and how we can better manage our emotions and decisions in a world filled with uncertainties. By understanding the distinction between what we can and cannot control, we can truly conquer each day with grace and purpose.
Gretchen and I talk about The Four Tendencies, delving into which tendency I may align with, how to fully embrace your own tendency to thrive, and more.
I’ve spent years advocating for productivity and efficient time management. I’ve seen countless articles and discussions about the elusive concept of “work-life balance.” Today, I want to challenge that paradigm and propose a new way of thinking: we should stop striving for work-life balance and simply shoot for balance instead.
In this episode, Mike had the pleasure of chatting with Zack Arnold, an award-winning editor, director, and founder of Optimize Yourself. He’s also a father of two and a two-time American Ninja Warrior. We had a productive conversation about how to pursue fulfilling careers without sacrificing our health, relationships, or sanity.
I’ve spent years exploring the intricacies of time management. I’ve tried and tested countless techniques and strategies to help people make the most of their days. And what I’ve discovered is that we need to shift our mindset from “managing” time to “mastering” it. The secret lies in improving our relationship with time itself.
Hamza and Mike cover a wide range of topics, including ego, productivity, and journaling. We also dive into Hamza’s latest book, “Leadership, Reinvented,” which focuses on fostering empathy, servitude, diversity, and innovation in the workplace. As a co-founder of a leading soft skills training company, Hamza brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this discussion, making it both practical and engaging.
On the surface, it seems logical to be specific when it comes to scheduling every minute of our day. After all, we cannot manage what we don’t measure. However, there are risks associated with having an overly specific calendar.
Amber and Mike delve into topics such as work-life balance, mental health, and personal growth.
