In this episode, I chat with Sarah Ohanesian, a productivity expert and the founder of SO Productive. Sarah dives into the concept of purpose-driven productivity, helping us rethink how we manage our time and energy in both our personal and professional lives. She also shares her work around neurodiversity, a topic that’s been gaining much-needed attention in the workplace. Whether you're leading a team or trying to figure out your own productivity system, this episode has some powerful takeaways about working in alignment with your brain’s unique wiring.
