From Always On to In Control

Clear insight into what is driving your workload.


Identify what can be removed, delegated, or simplified.


Reduce mental load and regain control over your week.


Make practical decisions to free up time and focus.


Create a sustainable structure that supports your role as a leader.

About this event

This session is not about squeezing even more into your days with yet another productivity hack. It is about changing the way you relate to work, responsibility and time, so that “I am too busy” is no longer your default state.


We combine mindset, behaviour and simple structures in a very practical way, based on more than thirty years of leading teams, running companies and coaching overloaded entrepreneurs and leaders. You will not be lectured; we work at the table with your real situation, your real calendar and your real responsibilities.


The goal is that you walk out lighter, clearer and with a concrete plan that you actually want to live with, not just another list of good intentions.

Key benefits

Take a hard, honest look at where your time, energy and attention actually go during a normal week – not in theory, but in reality.


Map out which tasks, responsibilities and expectations truly belong to you, and which ones you have gradually taken on without noticing.


See clearly which patterns keep you in “always on” mode – like firefighting, over-responsibility and saying yes too quickly – so they stop running in the background.

Design simple structures and boundaries that take at least 30 percent off your plate without shrinking your impact or ambition.


Create a realistic 90-day focus plan that protects your deep work, your recovery and your most important relationships.


Leave with a small set of concrete agreements with yourself and your team, so the change does not stay in your notebook but actually shows up in your calendar and your day-to-day behaviour.

If you are done calling this “just a busy period”, this is your moment to reset the way you work. Give yourself one afternoon to step out of always on, so the rest of the year does not quietly cost you more than it gives.

Who this is for

Entrepreneurs, founders and business leaders who live in permanent “always on” mode and quietly know that the cost is becoming too high.


People who are constantly pulled by their team, their clients and their home life, and somewhere in that story feel they have disappeared a bit.


Leaders who want more calm in their head, more focus on what really matters and more quality in their relationships, without losing their drive, ambition or results.

Practical


Small group: 4–8 participants


Time: from 12:00 to 18:00, with a relaxed moment to wind down together at the end

You do not need to prepare slides or a pitch. Just bring yourself, your current reality as a leader and the willingness to be honest. The rest we will do together.
