What is it about a new year that sends me deep into my productivity feels? ‘Tis the (well-marketed) season for shiny new projects over thoughtful annual assessment. For tidal waves of bigger! better! concepts vs. gentler tides of introspection. 

So, who else besides me needs a life vest to keep from drowning under a productivity deluge? 

Truth: I have a complicated relationship with productivity. 

Sarah Steckler feels our pain. She’s a productivity strategist and educator who helps folks bring more intention and awareness to their personal, professional, and creative mindsets via courses, planners, and weekly newsletters. Sarah’s also the host of the Mindful Productivity Podcast, on which she breaks down proven productivity skills and entrepreneurial organization strategies into totally doable, sustainable habits.

Sarah reminds us to take the smaller steps when we’re feeling overwhelmed by productivity adrenaline, especially the tasks that have seemingly little direct impact on our larger aspirations. Eventually, they will. Being more productive doesn’t necessarily mean doing more stuff, says Sarah. “It's doing less, more effectively, right?”

Questions for you: What’s your validation? How do you define success? Today I’m having Julie Gile on my show: She is a photographer from Wisconsin in the US and it’s her mission to fuel personal connection between business owners and their clients. We talk about the value of connection, and why making your brand better, instead of bigger might be a big win for your life & happiness in general. We talk about building a brand and a business based on You: your own personal story, your passion or purpose. Julie fills us in on how she approaches capturing the people behind the brands in an authentic way. For her, one of the key questions is: what makes your brand different to others and how can we transport that visually? We also look at success and productivity in a new light. Julie clearly states that there are many forms of success and questions growth as the online factor of success. I’m very happy to bring this conversation out, because this is what we need: We need a new form of business, where we nurture the relationships with the clients we have and focus on brand values and passions. We gotta step back from the bigger, faster, always more mentality. It’s what we need to really bring about change in this world. A new approach to business as outlined by Julie has also the potential to help us better deal with the economic challenges around current crisis. Needless to say this episode is for anyone building up or owning a small business, having a business built on their own story and experience. It’s for solopreneurs and those of you who’ve struggled with advice from coaches and business books. This is not your average brand story talk. Julie is diving deep into her own story and sharing more than most of us will ever share. She is a woman of courage and a true believer in connection - both values we direly need these days. I'm very honored more to have her on my show. Tune in. Listen closely. And continue to build deeper connections.

In this solo show I’m giving 7 powerful questions for self-reflection. As we're shifting towards a new energy as well as getting back to "normal" after lockdown, I believe it's super important to keep on reflecting, questioning and diving deep – so we don't waste this precious window of opportunity to transform and truly change the world. These 7 questions are here for you to explore and help you personally make necessary shifts. For it all starts within us, for what we think and imagine becomes our new reality.
