What are your top tips on productivity? Time is your most valuable asset aside from good health. It’s been a privilege to partner with some amazing business leaders and as a business owner myself I have learned 5 key things: 1. Have clearly defined goals to benchmark how to invest your time. 2. Spend your time on what only you can do. 3. Have a set of criteria to decide what you should (and shouldn’t) do. 4. Trust others to deliver, but hold them to account. 5. Ask yourself “If I spend time on this piece of work, what is being left undone that is more important?” What are your top tips on achieving what you want whilst having a good work/ life balance? It’s easy to become fully immersed and engrossed in work, so I have developed a series of personal and professional dashboards to help me self check each week. I also have my own coach. What are your goals for the future? When I look back on my life, I want to be able to say I was a respected servant leader and to have no regrets.
