– When would an alternative work better.

Calm In Chaos

Successfully Prioritize, Focus, & Get It DONE When You're Drowning & Everything's "Important"

Calm In Chaos    Successfully Prioritize, Focus, & Get It DONE When You're Drowning & Everything's "Important" Image

PROBLEM:
Overwhelm is real, sometimes it feels like chaos. The pace of work is accelerating. AI helps you do more, which means you're responsible for more - 8 projects turns into 12 overnight. With endless tasks, constant interruptions, and everything labeled "urgent," overwhelm isn't just stress - it's your daily reality. When your brain is juggling too many balls, you can't even remember all your commitments, let alone prioritize them effectively.

THIS WILL BE REVOLUTIONARY IF YOU HAVE EVER:
—Felt paralyzed by everything you need to-do.
—Been bombarded with notifications from all sides and lose track of what you were working on.
—Been derailed by a 'quick favor'.

IN THIS SESSION YOU WILL:
—Implement the 5-step "Gladiator Calm in Chaos™" process
on your own todo list.
—Master “Importance” — because everything can’t be “important”.
—Uncover bandwidth — strategies for delegation and deadline management.

 

Life Equilibrium

Discover, Design, & Dominate Your Life Balance

Life Equilibrium  Discover, Design, & Dominate Your Life Balance Image

PROBLEM
For many, all they know about Life Balance is "I think I work too much”.  Even people working their dream job burn out if they’re missing part of the equation. Sustained productivity requires balance. To achieve "balance" consistently, you need to understand what covers it, and you need a plan.

THIS WILL BE REVOLUTIONARY IF YOU HAVE EVER:
—Contemplated quitting your job because you work too much.
—Struggled to clearly define what life balance looks like for you.
—Wanted a structured approach to actually achieve life balance.

IN THIS SESSION YOU WILL:
Discover what creates Life Balance – The 5 points, and how it “GLOWS”.
Design your Life Balance — The Gladiator Life Balance Quadrants™ to plan your own.
Dominate by improving your plan — Incorporate best practices & lessons learned into your plans
