There is an endless number of problems to solve out in the world. We will always find new ones until we understand who we really are and what we really want.
So much time and energy is spent deciding how to spend our time and energy.
It becomes hard to stay present and enjoy the moment. Rather, we live most of our lives in the anxious future wondering if things will turn out 'good enough'.
We suffer enormously when our need to optimize things around us goes overboard.
How can we move through the complexities of life with more of an intuitive flow?
The key is aligning our analytical and intuitive minds. Often they are pulling in different directions. When they do, it comes at a huge energy cost.
Aligned, we achieve our goals and outcomes in a way that feels organic to who we are.
Suddenly, we start to build out our habits, our projects, and our lives into something that we look forward to daily. We stop living for weekends and vacations.
Who are the people behind The Flow?
Steven and I lead teams and projects across a multitude of technical and creative disciplines.
This is possible because the same principles apply to most types of creation and most projects:
- Design Thinking
- Agile Mindset
- Empathy
Steven and I have guided professionals ranging from recent grads to executive, all in transitioning from busyness and endless firefighting to calm, effective, and personally satisfying work.
Here's a testimonial from a client who works for one of the big-4 consulting firms:
"Our sessions have become a time for reflection where we can focus on what’s really important.
They ask the right questions that connect us with our inner drivers and also the obstacles that would keep us from delivering the impact we aim to achieve through our work.
It’s a very pragmatic approach that starts from within, which is where the true power of productivity comes from."
How do we make this happen for you? By:
- discovering the best way to approach your tasks and projects so that they deliver value quickly
- mapping and optimizing your personal and professional workflows
- crafting lightweight, hard to break, systems that bring order to the chaos
- avoiding heavy lifts with continuous iterative improvements
- applying the 'build, test, measure' methodology to your work and your life
- honing in on your areas of resistance
- working at the nexus of enjoyment and value creation
Once we've dug into your most important goals, we break them down and focus on the biggest wins.
By breaking everything down together and building it into a system unique to your way of working, we remove draining guesswork creating a sense of agility and flow.
To avoid overwhelm and keep you producing even when you're not at your best, we help you build the processes and systems that eliminate the thousands of daily micro-decisions that sap your energy away from your goals.
We offer individual and team coaching sessions.
