How to Make your Productivity Flourish, with Charlie Gilkey

For too many Americans, productivity has become the Holy Grail of our lives, but at what cost? This week’s guest Charlie Gilkey, Founder of Productive Flourishing is here to talk about our culture’s obsession with productivity and offer a more balanced perspective. 

Author of Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done, philosopher and former Army officer, Charlie believes we can both get things done and feel good in the process.

 In this episode we explore how to move the needle while honoring who we are and what we need. How can we consider the person as much as the results? 

We all want to be and feel more productive, but what do we even mean by that? What do we do when that desire to make an impact turns into a pressure cooker of never enoughness and becomes an inadequacy catastrophe? 

Is all of this pressure actually working? A business and executive coach, Charlie deconstructs what it really means to be a productive human being in today’s world.

What we further explore in this conversation

• Practical strategies to get more control over what you are getting done.
• How to deal with procrastination, overwhelm and other saboteurs.
• How we can better integrate “doing” with “being”. 
• The impact of our task master mindset on our self worth

Find out how much creativity impacts our productivity and so much more!
