How Can I Be More Productive Without Burning Out?Welcome to the Power of Peacefulness Podcast, a space created for professional women to explore what it means to cultivate inner peace—through meaningful conversations around career, relationships, and personal growth.In today's episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most common struggles we all face: how to be more productive. But not in the hustle-until-you-drop kind of way. We're talking intentional, sustainable productivity that supports your well-being—not sabotages it.✨ Inside this episode:Why conventional advice about productivity misses the markThe psychology behind real motivation (hello, Self-Determination Theory!)How to work with your natural energy instead of forcing more hoursPractical strategies like batching, deep work, and Pomodoro techniquesWhy systems matter more than to-do listsThe game-changing power of saying "no"How rest is not a reward—but the foundation of all sustainable successYou'll also hear real-world stories and examples—from health leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs—who transformed their routines to reclaim time, focus, and peace.
Today, leaders are working side-by-side with up to five different generations. This creates both significant challenges and unique opportunities for building cohesive, high-performing teams. In this episode of Leadership Lounge, we talk to three of our trusted advisors—Kat Armstrong, Paco Ruiz-Maza, and Michelle Mion—who share their perspectives on: The leadership behaviors that foster truly inclusive multi-generational cultures How to manage productive conflict that arises from generational differences Effective cross-generational knowledge sharing strategies, including mentoring and shadow boards How emerging leaders develop critical thinking skills alongside AI adoption How to navigate the tension between preserving legacy and embracing innovation "It's managing conflict, not avoiding conflict. An adequately managed conflict, dispute, or conversation can be highly productive and enlightening for both sides." - Paco Ruiz-Maza Leadership Advisor, Russell Reynolds Associates Four things you'll learn from this episode Curiosity drives collaboration. Leaders who cultivate open dialogue and demonstrate genuine curiosity about different perspectives create environments where feedback flows freely in all directions, enhancing productivity across generations. Productive conflict is powerful. Rather than avoiding generational disagreements, effective leaders create channels for constructive conflict by parking formal hierarchies and viewing disagreement as an opportunity for innovation. Knowledge sharing works both ways. Innovative approaches like shadow boards and ‘skip meetings' create valuable exchanges where both younger and more experienced team members learn from each other's unique perspectives and expertise. Balance AI with human judgment. While 86% of leaders are implementing AI, ensuring emerging leaders develop foundational critical thinking skills remains crucial—AI enhances but cannot replace human expertise and judgment.

Text your thoughts and questions!Pride is something that we, as a society, have somehow come to see as a negative, linking it to being boastful and “full of oneself,” when in reality, it simply means believing in your self-worth. When you believe in your worth, it encourages you to live authentically, which in turn, does amazing things for your goals and your life. A goal of mine is to help people step into the most authentic version of themselves so they can live in a way that aligns with their values and strengths, aka the key to a productive and positive life. This week, episode 266 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how pride makes you more productive!In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I share the connection between pride and productivity, offering real-life examples and giving you actionable steps to take right now to embrace your uniqueness and adapt your productivity techniques in a way that works for YOU.

Advice on unlocking your unique productivity (with real-life examples).The Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias (and how that might negatively impact productivity). Remember, you are born worthy.
