On this episode of the #MeetCoolPeople Podcast, I got to sit down with Gwen Lepard, someone I've not only worked with as a client for almost two years but also someone who has truly impressed me with her dedication to helping others stay focused and get important work done. Gwen is a dancer, author, speaker, mentor, and above all, a purpose coach for creative entrepreneurs, writers, and coaches. Today, she walks us through her journey from a challenging past to creating the “Get It Done Labs”—a community-based solution for people who struggle to work alone or stay motivated.

Gwen shares how her own experiences led her to study a variety of coaching modalities and ultimately develop a process that combines accountability, movement, and focused work sessions using the Pomodoro technique. I love her take on how group dynamics really fuel productivity for those who have trouble getting started or finishing projects by themselves.

Here’s what stood out in our conversation:

🎯 Key Takeaways:

  • Power of Accountability: Gwen’s Get It Done Labs leverages the simple, yet powerful, act of saying your goal out loud to a group, which helps participants stay on task and finally get those nagging projects done.
  • Structured Focus with Built-In Self-Care: The labs use a rhythm of work and break times (the Pomodoro method, tweaked for movement and real-life needs) so participants can focus deeply without burning out. Plus, Gwen brings in elements like dance and quick meditations during breaks.
  • Community Support for Solo Work: For folks used to working alone (especially new solopreneurs), having a supportive group makes all the difference in actually making progress. And it’s not just about work; sometimes it’s about taking that much-needed nap, too.
  • Real-Time Tracking and Reflection: Many participants, including service providers and authors, learn exactly how much time their tasks take… Which helps them price, plan, and pace themselves better in the future.
  • Fun and Flexibility: Gwen keeps it light, structured, and fun, letting people find their groove whether they’re writing a chapter, managing admin work, or clearing clutter. Her labs make productivity feel far less lonely.

#MeetCoolPeople

We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology. 

The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.

The #MeetCoolPeople Movement is to change that. 

It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.

It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.

It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.

It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.

It’s a reminder to introduce someone you meet to someone you know can help them.

And it's a reminder that we can grow to amazing successes but not alone. It requires the help of others. 

So surround yourself with people that make you better and make it your mission to #MeetCoolPeople!

Thank you again for helping spread the word and have an amazing day!
