If you're an exec who regularly feels overwhelmed or disorganized at work, or finds it challenging to manage tasks and priorities:

I never thought I was the type of person who could benefit from a productivity coach. I'm the chief cat herder, 'create order from chaos', 'make the trains run on time' person.

And yet after working with a coach who's been helping countless executives become more organized and productive and less overwhelmed (she's also a badass founder who scaled a tech company to $40M in 3 years), I now feel like my work days are far more easeful and productive. I'm better at getting the most important things done. I reach a point every day where I can relax and go, "Great, I can set the rest aside."

I definitely walked in with some hubris in thinking there wasn't much I could improve on, and I am humbled and grateful to be proven wrong.

You should talk to Yi Shan, my productivity guru. She works exclusively with executives who work in social impact and creating positive change for the world. She's a kind and wonderful human and smart as hell.

Yi is a guiding light!! As a new Executive Director for a nonprofit, I knew I would benefit from executive coaching. However, I did not want the traditional coaching experience. I needed a coach that could relate to me on the different levels of my career journey and understand my desire to stay connected to my personal goals and vision as well.

Yi has helped me to implement a productivity system, while supporting and guiding me in identifying my professional needs, personal, and life goals.

She helped me to see how those needs are connected and intersect which has accelerated my growth and development. She has an innate ability to empathize and understand while leading with firmness and intentionality to ensure you reach any goal or objective on the table.

Her unique, holistic approach is empowering. It feels like therapy but with an executive leadership and development agenda. I couldn't be more grateful to have this coaching experience with her.

Working with Yi as a coach has been leagues better than my past experiences with coaches. The processes she has in place makes it much more efficient and an extremely valuable use of my time.

Yi is extremely empathic and I feel comfortable being open and honest. In other relationships, I felt like coaching was an obligation that I had to do. Working with Yi, I feel that I am making progress with each session!

I’m so thankful for my time with Yi. It was truly eye-opening, inviting me to think about work, and how I think about work, in ways I honestly had never considered.

She articulated several things I have felt but not understood as core to the stress of my working life, like the idea that keeping all my tasks in mind (rather than having a system I trust will allow me to achieve them) means both that my attention is usually divided and that my brain keeps reminding me that I don’t have a trustworthy system! That certainly feels familiar and true, but I’ve always assumed that's the nature of the work. Thinking instead that I could have a system to hold the work was revelatory and freeing.

Meeting Yi, and experiencing her energy and gifts, was a great pleasure.

Thank you again, Yi.

Yi has been able to get into my mind and say exactly what I was feeling about my productivity system. The coaching time with Yi was eye-opening for me. It opens the door to the possibilities I could not see.

Speaking with Yi about my struggles with self-accountability came about during a series of divine moments of clarity.

Yi adjusted the direction of my life.

My life before speaking to her was a jumbled mess but talking to her (along with other resources and epiphanies that happened outside of our conversation) really helped me realize my fears were just part of me and I can’t keep running away from them. Instead, I must face them head-on and figure out the lessons that I can learn from my fears.

Yi's program helped turn my career around. I was feeling overwhelmed in my new job, managing over 15 internal systems. Many things were constantly falling through the cracks. So, I signed up for the 30-Hour-Workweek System. And it did not disappoint. I got the support and system I needed.

Taking tasks out of my own brain and sorting everything into the 30-Hour-Workweek System alleviated so much stress that I didn’t even realize was weighing me down. 

Unexpectedly, after implementing the program I feel closer to my co-workers and manager. I no longer have the creeping feeling that I owe people something that I can’t quite remember. Now I’m able to spend less time thinking about what I need to do - and more time focusing on tasks that are important or require more focus. More importantly, I increased my belief in myself to create the life I want. 

I cannot recommend this program enough. The 30-Hour-Workweek System allows anyone (no matter how organized or disorganized) to level up and find the peace of mind in their professional and personal lives.

Yi has what appears to be an innate ability to identify the smallest of organizational cracks and insert herself into them in a manner that is both intentional and empathetic, while also still maintaining a firm organizational structure.  She truly embodies the mantra of walking softly, while also carrying a big stick; it may be wrapped in velvet, but it is made of steel, nonetheless.

Yi’s targeted approach helps with gaining a valuable understanding of self. It felt similar to therapy but a little more productive ;-)

I received a gift productivity session from Yi and it was very beneficial.

She is an excellent listener and knows how to ask the right questions to get at the source of a problem.

In my session she took a holistic approach and considered a wide range of factors that contributed to the obstacles I was facing and the goals I want to achieve. I am really looking forward to future sessions!

Yi is a powerful and effective coach that I've had the pleasure to work with.

She created a catered approach to my individual needs while guiding me through the well-tuned technology of "30-hour workweek." I was able to discover and move past fundamental blocks that were halting the output in my business.

Furthermore, her coaching around prioritizing and scheduling allowed me to create a structure in my schedule that worked for ME, as opposed to these "one-size-fits-all" project managing programs I've tried in the past.

I'm able to approach my day with much more freedom, effectiveness, and ultimately enjoyment because of her wisdom! "

As an early-stage entrepreneur, I appreciate Yi's approach to coaching and strategic insight on how to best identify and manage priorities!
