“Unleashing Energy Through Nutrition: A Transformative Keynote”

Graham Allcott or Colleen Heneghan

While most of us are aware of the power of a balanced meal, the hectic pace of our daily lives often pushes nutrition to the background. Frequently, the food we consume becomes an afterthought, pushed to the end of our to-do list. The mystery of how nutrition impacts our energy remains unsolved for many.

Discover the Power of Nutritional Choices:

Imagine if our daily meals didn’t just sustain us, but actively enhanced our productivity. Envision a world where your diet turbocharges your focus, shields you from the infamous 3pm fatigue, and reconfigures your entire day. What if a simple transformation in your diet can change the course of your workday?

Choose to Energize:

The power lies in our hands. Each meal, each snack, every beverage choice is an opportunity. When deliberate nutrition choices become a routine, that’s when the magic begins. It’s not just about WHAT to consume, but discerning WHEN and, most critically, mastering HOW.

The Keynote:

Join Graham or Colleen for a game-changing keynote where they demystify nutrition, offering you clear, actionable insights. They’ll walk you through instant strategies, key habits, and practices to always choose energy – regardless of your day’s agenda, your culinary prowess, or your pantry’s contents.

Making Great Work Happen, Wherever We Are!

Navigating the New Normal: A Productivity Ninja Guide to Hybrid Working 🌐

The pandemic didn’t just disrupt our ways of working – it presented us with a golden opportunity. An opportunity to experiment, adapt, and evolve the way that teams can work. But we had to learn fast and without much experience to base it on. Our guide to hybrid working gives you that template for how to manage in this blended environment.

Why revert when you can revolutionize?

Having learnt the lessons we’re now presented with an unusual opportunity. We don’t just have to return everyone to the previous ways. Instead, we can blend the best of both worlds or even craft something groundbreaking, but to do so we have to take the best learning and avoid the pitfalls.

Lead with confidence, no matter the distance.

“Working from home” is often viewed with suspicion. But organizations like The United Nations Development Programme, Dell and indeed Think Productive North America have operated almost exclusively remotely for years. We’ve long seen remote working as a flexible, agile competitive advantage and we’ve learnt a huge amount about leading hybrid teams.

So we’re in a world of hybrid working. How do you manage people you can’t see – or not all the time? What does “Office Hours” mean? People have conflicting work and personal priorities, and other stuff to do in the day. Combine that with flexible remote schedules, and how do you make sure that the work is done? Is high value work even possible when we are infrequently in the same space? What role does tech play in all of this?

This course is delivered by one of our expert Productivity Ninjas® (all of whom work remotely). The three-hour interactive workshop looks at strategic perspectives as well as practical tools and take-aways. It will equip you to lead a productive, agile, happy and informed hybrid team.

Relaxed, sharing of views. Friendly informal feel but with lots of very human observations which got me thinking, particularly around the culture of an organization and how to develop/sustain that remotely.
