If you're a woman who constantly puts everyone else first, this episode is going to hit differently. You know that feeling when you look at your calendar and realize you're not even on it? When every single time slot is filled with obligations to others, and the thought of prioritizing yourself feels selfish or impossible?

Welcome to this episode of The Efficient Advisor, where Libby Greiwe sits down with Dr. Joshua Wilson, PhD, CMT, to explore the power of behavioral finance before a client even becomes a client. While many advisors think about behavioral finance as something that happens after onboarding, Joshua takes us deeper—into the psychology, neuromarketing, and “pre-suasion” that sets the stage for meaningful connections from the very first impression.
For many high achievers, outward success often doesn't lead to true fulfillment, especially when decision-making isn't guided by a strong sense of purpose.

Do you ever end the day feeling like you were busy nonstop… but somehow didn't really get anything done? Between the texts, the quick favors, the emails, the “just a minute” tasks—it's no wonder our focus feels shredded. Research from UC Irvine shows that after each interruption, it takes an average of 23 minutes to fully return to your original task. Multiply that by a few dozen interruptions, and there goes your deep work. In this solo episode, Kate shares the simple system she uses to protect her focus without letting the rest of life fall apart. It's a daily practice that corrals distractions, clears mental clutter, and helps you end the day feeling both productive and peaceful. You'll learn: Why “just a quick reply” can secretly cost you half an hour of focus What context switching does to your brain (and how to stop it) How to separate what's urgent from what's important The hidden power of batching micro-tasks How to close the workday with clarity and calm This small mindset shift can change the way you work, lead, and live—no assistant required.

In this first episode of our three-part Time Leadership series, Tracy Cherpeski tackles why traditional productivity systems fail healthcare practice owners. If you've tried every time management technique only to feel more overwhelmed, this episode reveals the real problem: you've been applying employee productivity frameworks to a practice owner's reality. Tracy introduces the concept of time leadership—a strategic approach designed specifically for healthcare professionals balancing clinical excellence with business sustainability.

You have a time leadership opportunity." "Time management is about efficiency—doing things right. Time leadership is about effectiveness—doing the right things." "Sarah wasn't managing her time poorly. She was managing the wrong work." "Real acceptance is powerful—making peace with what you genuinely cannot change while focusing your energy on what you can. Resignation is giving up." "The question isn't 'how do I manage all these tasks more efficiently?' The question is 'what am I conducting versus what am I trying to play myself?'" This episode sets the foundation for a complete mindset shift around how healthcare practice owners approach their time. Tracy challenges listeners to stop blaming themselves for failed productivity systems and instead recognize that they need a framework built for their unique reality.

As educators and school leaders, we often pour our hearts into our work, only to sometimes feel that our efforts aren't fully appreciated. This tension between service and appreciation reveals a deeper truth about where we seek validation and how it impacts our ability to lead and teach effectively. When staff members feel unappreciated, whether they're teachers facing demanding parents or support staff feeling overlooked, there's a fundamental shift happening in their sense of identity and empowerment. The challenge here isn't just about getting more appreciation. It's about understanding why we need it and what happens when we don't get it the way we expect. Tune in this week to discover practical ways to help your staff reconnect with their internal validation and professional identity. I share strategies for creating a culture of equal value where every role is recognized as an essential puzzle piece. Most importantly, you'll learn how to guide your team back to appreciating themselves first, making external recognition the cherry on top rather than the foundation of their professional worth.
