My guarantee…

This stuff works. Here’s proof…

A few years ago my client, Beth, attended a workshop I held for the Copyblogger Authority community (mostly writers and business owners).

Now, before my training, her service business (and family life) felt chaotic and unorganized.

But AFTER taking my training, she was able to:

• pursue more of her personal interests,
• focus on her career growth; AND
• power-up her project management game.

All in one swoop.

Here’s what she had to say about implementing what I teach:

“Having failed with so many other productivity tools and tactics, it was a relief to find a task management system that worked for me. And some guidance around what to work on and when."

After speaking with Beth, I learned that now:

• She hits deadlines and keeps her clients happy with regular communication about projects.
• She doesn't feel like a failure anymore and her friends say things like, "You're so organized!".
• She always knows exactly what she needs to work on when she has a block of time for deep work.
• AND that horrible overwhelmed, unproductive, and chaotic feeling — is gone.

“NONE of these things would be possible today if it weren't for Claire – I can't tell you how grateful I am to her! Her systems work so phenomenally well for me.”

If a lack of execution is holding you back in your business, then is designed to be the resource that changes everything for you.

That gets you to actually do all that stuff you know you need to do.

Consider it the necessary skin-in-the-game — so you can carry out your plans. And do what you know is good for you and the ones you love.

But before you buy-in. Let’s talk about what you’re really getting…

That next level ROI

#1 — A system to help you execute

So you can focus, apply what you learn and manage your time (and the tasks on your to-do list) significantly better. 

#2 — Make the switch from big thinker to effective doer

Your habits will start to reflect your expectations. You become someone who delivers results (and can actually finish something!)  

#3 — Transform feelings of anxiety and overwhelm into calm, confidence, and clarity

Mixed with the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction you get from shipping meaningful, important (and yes, scary) work.

What to expect when you join…

First up, as soon as you purchase the program you’ll get an email from me recapping the gist of this, and letting you know what to do next. So don’t worry if you forget everything you read past this point.

But for those curious minds who like to know exactly what to expect (hello, my people) here is the sitch:

Within an hour of purchasing, you’ll get instant access to the course dashboard and community.

There will be some fun and easy things for you to do to help get the lay of the land, meet other students (and me!), and learn how to get the most out of the material.

Think of this as a time to get your bearings before we dig into the delicious brain food I’ve got prepared for you.

Then, once you’re on board, you can dive into the meaty material. And start checking off those milestones.

Here’s a peek at the modules...

Module 1: Kanban Kickstart

Lesson 1: We'll talk a bit about our inner demons and how to downgrade their effect on your ability to do the stuff you need to. I find it’s so important to start with mindset, cos to make the change we want, we often need to shift our perspective first. All improvement starts with awareness. So the first lesson is more about waking up.

Lesson 2: We'll cover what it means to put success in your way and how to transform feelings of anxiety and overwhelm into calm, confidence, and clarity. I want to make sure you have a firm foundation for gaining and maintaining focus. Especially when times get tough, it’s critical we have a method to fight and limit distractions.

Lesson 3: We'll dive into what Personal Kanban is all about, how clarity and focus are baked into its formula, and what it really takes to become an exceptional manager of one. This is where we get into the WHY it works. Which sets us up for our final lesson.

Lesson 4: We'll get to work on how you can put Personal Kanban into practice right away. And what you can do to power-up your process as you get more advanced.

Throughout the module, you'll begin to understand how forming such a key system can dramatically change your life. In that, it can fundamentally shift the way you see, and more importantly, feel — about your work, your accomplishments, and your ability to push past procrastination.

And as a result — make actual progress on your best ideas and most significant projects.

Module 2: Perfect Projects

Lesson 1: We'll take a look at what getting from idea to done looks like and what makes projects superior to goals. You’ll discover what I call the Doer’s Way, and find out what it really takes to get a meaningful project over the finish line.

Lesson 2: I'll introduce you to some helpful ways for picking what you should work on next. And more importantly, what you should put off. Decision-making is the name of the game in this lesson, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to figure out what to work on now.

Lesson 3: We'll dive into the principles of working in cycles and how to shape a project so it actually gets shipped. Here we’re borrowing from one of the best run tech businesses around and learning how to apply a powerhouse project management strategy — to your individual situation.

Lesson 4: We're going to look at how you can put this new system into practice for yourself. And discover some powerful tactics and reframes for turning an elusive goal into a doable project.

Module 3: Finding Flow

In lesson one: We'll talk about how to reduce anxiety and fear of failure — by building mental toughness. What it takes to strengthen your spiritual core (and why it matters). Plus, we’ll cover off a few helpful techniques for putting fear and failure into perspective. And promoting more calm and contentment in your daily life.

In lesson two: We'll dive deeper into the power of positive emotion, and how you can develop practices that can transform the thoughts in your head. Most importantly — you’ll learn how you can use the power of positive psychology to lift your mood, and function well even if you’re sad, anxious, or angry.

In lesson three: We'll talk about the importance of energy management, what Flow really feels like and how promoting more peak experiences in your daily life, simply takes practice. You’ll learn exactly what signals gratifying work for you and how to use it to your advantage. As well as some methods for boosting your energy and optimising your environment.

Finally, in lesson four: We're going to discover how to draw upon your unfair advantage in life, and how you can examine and exercise your unique character strengths — to power your progress and gain more fulfilment from your work. You’ll discover the hallmarks of a signature strength, and how you can use the skills you already have to recraft your work, boost your daily happiness levels, and increase your life satisfaction.
