What's really stealing your CEO time? Every entrepreneur has a dominant productivity pattern — a way of working that feels normal, even productive. But when you're the CEO, that pattern has a cost.

It shows up as full days with no real progress. As never having time to sell, to build, to think. As always being busy but never feeling ahead.

You might recognise yourself in one of four patterns: The Overloaded Operator, The Momentum Chaser, The Preparation Loop, or The Capable Bottleneck.

Feel like you’re constantly running on empty? Let’s talk about the importance of energy management—because doing more isn’t the answer.

If you end your day totally drained, wondering how you’re supposed to keep up without burning out, this episode is exactly what you need. Instead of trying to “manage time better,” our guest Heather Chauvin invites you to shift your entire approach. She believes real productivity starts with managing your energy, not your hours.
