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.

Background & Bio
About Productivity Gladiator™
Learn more about Brian, how he developed Productivity Gladiator™, and how you can benefit from what he’s learned.
Think your productivity systems are helping your team? They might be driving your best people straight out the door.
Brian sits down with retention expert Cara Silletto, who's spent 13 years figuring out why good employees quit, and the answers will make you rethink everything about your management style. Turns out that one-size-fits-all approach you're so proud of? It's treating orchids like cacti, and your team is withering because of it. Cara reveals the generational blind spots that have leaders scratching their heads while talent walks away, plus the uncomfortable truth about why your "common sense" expectations are anything but common.
This conversation gets tactical fast: discover the ChatGPT trick that instantly exposes whether you're a delegation disaster, learn why your meeting style might be silencing half your team, and find out how your follow-through failures are quietly destroying trust. Brian and Cara dive deep into the spectrum of leadership styles, from micromanagement hell to delegate-and-abandon disasters, showing you exactly where that sweet spot lives.
You'll walk away with the houseplant framework for understanding your team's needs, a system for operationalizing check-ins that actually matter, and the communication preference conversation that stops mind-reading madness before it starts. Plus, they reveal why those productive latchkey Gen Xers are clashing with collaborative millennials and Gen Z workers who need different kinds of support.
If you're hemorrhaging talent, confused why good people keep leaving, or ready to stop accidentally sabotaging your own team's success, this episode maps out the leadership moves that keep your best people around.
