Less Doing…Get More DONE
PRODUCTIVITY GLADIATOR® IS A COMPREHENSIVE & SUPPORTIVE PROGRAM WHICH Implements THE TOOLS AND SKILLS NEEDED BY THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW TO BE TOP PERFORMERS TODAY.
THE PROBLEM
OVERWHELM IS INCREASING — Recently promoted leaders are often overwhelmed by everything going on at the next level. Artificial Intelligence has made it worse! Many have tasks left undone or forgotten. Deadlines missed or not met.
AI CHANGES EVERYTHING, EXCEPT YOUR NEED TO PRIORITIZE AND FINISH YOUR OWN TASKS — In the age of AI, productivity skills aren't less important—they're critical. As AI accelerates work, managing your finite time and finishing what you start becomes the true competitive advantage.
BALANCE SUFFERS — For many, the overwhelm leads to burn out, and their personal lives often suffer, like they’re not able to live the life they desire.
THE GOOD ONES LEAVE — They start to wonder if the grass is greener somewhere else? For businesses, leaders that feel this way can mean high turnover and low employee satisfaction...like the good ones are always leaving.
What Productivity Gladiator Does
A SPECIFIC SET OF SKILLS AND TOOLS — Productivity Gladiator® is about specific solutions for recently promoted office people leaders to get more done at work, handle the onslaught, and maintain their own balance.
ALLOWS ANYONE TO BE A TOP PERFORMER, ESPECIALLY NEW LEADERS — They become the “go-to” employees. The ones who you count on. It’s “set it and forget it” accountability. They’re the ones you KNOW will get it done.
How It Works
IT’S HANDS ON, STARTS WITH BALANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY — How will we make this transformation? We’ll start by identifying life balance for each team member, what is it in reality each week, and how to plan for it. This is the secret to long term success, it’s how you win the marathon, it’s not a sprint.
THEN WE BUILD CORE PRODUCTIVITY SKILLS INCLUDING AI - We'll teach proven productivity systems while incorporating AI as a force multiplier. Participants learn to maintain control of their workflow—using technology strategically without letting it control, overwhelm, or replace them. The focus remains on human skills that technology enhances.
THEN WE LAYER ON TIME MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATION — We’ll identify the actual dollar value of their time, and their team member’s time, and share tips and life hacks that can create time in their life, to create “breathing room” with solutions they can act on right now. Lastly, we’ll equip the employees with the tools and an operating system for handling the onslaught of the day to day, specifically with all the tasks and emails coming in, while prioritizing their focus on what’s important.
THEN WE ADD PRACTICAL LEADERSHIP — Not just basic leadership skills, specific scenarios and tools to prepare leaders for real world challenges and situations they’ll face.
THE RESULT IS GAME-CHANGING. PRODUCTIVITY GOES UP, TURNOVER GOES DOWN — All this lays the groundwork for how employees get it all done and still have time to thrive. They will be able to handle more responsibility, stick around longer, and feel more fulfilled both at work and in life.
Why Productivity Gladiator

What happens when a productivity expert and a focus coach talk honestly about the role social media plays in our lives?
In this episode, Brian sits down with Penny Zenker to have a real conversation about how platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook affect our attention, stress levels, and time. They don’t hold back. Penny admits she’s been thinking about walking away from it altogether. Brian shares his frustration with AI-generated content and the constant noise in his feed.
They explore how social media can be both helpful and harmful, and what it means to use it with intention. Penny shares her Reset Mindset framework and talks about how to refocus when life and technology pull you in every direction. They also get into the difference between attention and focus—and why that distinction really matters.
You’ll hear laughter, honest disagreement, and some ideas that might just change how you interact with your phone.
