Your Guide to Productive Flourishing
Welcome to Productive Flourishing! You’re here to make an impact, bring your best ideas to life, and do meaningful work. We’re here to help you:
Do your best work as an individual by clarifying your goals, managing your time, and creating meaningful progress.
Work better together as a team by strengthening collaboration, boosting both performance and belonging.
Lead with clarity and purpose as an executive, entrepreneur, or team leader, starting with your own personal effectiveness.
We often remind people that ‘productive’ modifies ‘flourishing’. Productivity isn’t about doing more for the sake of it — it’s about doing what enables true thriving. Our approach takes a holistic view, focusing on meaningful, balanced work that supports flourishing in every area of life.
Luckily for us, others value our approach. Over the years, Productive Flourishing has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Globe and Mail, Time, Forbes, The Washington Post, Inc., Lifehacker, and BNET, among other major outlets. We've published more than 1,500 articles, podcast episodes, and resources since 2007, and our work has won design awards along the way. Our work influences top thought leaders through books, podcasts, and offline conversations.
Now let’s get you where you need to go. 👇🏽
