In this episode of the ScaleX™ Insider Podcast, I’m delighted to welcome Maura Nevel Thomas, an acclaimed expert in individual and corporate productivity, international speaker, award-winning trainer, and the world’s foremost authority on Attention Management.

Maura has dedicated her career to helping leaders and teams harness their time, energy, and unique capabilities to accomplish more—with less stress. She was the first to introduce the concept of Attention Management as a replacement for outdated Time Management strategies, and her latest book, Everyone Wants to Work Here, reveals the secrets to building a workplace that attracts top talent, energises teams, and drives market leadership.

In this conversation, we explore:

✅ The #1 Mistake Leaders Make in Employee Recognition – and how to fix it ✅ Why ‘Always Available’ Leadership Is Killing Productivity – and what to do instead ✅ How the ‘ASAP’ Culture Is Destroying Workplace Efficiency – and the solution for sustainable success

✅ The Most Underrated Workplace Problem: Distraction- one of the biggest barriers to business success.

✅ The Truth About ‘Quiet Quitting’ – and what’s really happening in the workplace ✅ Why Work-Life Balance Isn’t Given—You Have to Take It – strategies for leaders and teams

Whether you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, or manager striving to create a thriving, productive culture, this episode is packed with powerful insights and actionable strategies.
