Master Time and Focus

Maddie's talks and workshops blend relatable, real life experience with tactical, actionable takeaways.

She shares her own mistakes and struggles in a funny, human way that gives her audience permission to reflect on their own experiences with grace before diving into the solutions and principles that she uses to eliminate those problems from recurring for herself and her clients.

Expect to take tons of notes, feel a renewed sense of agency and inspiration, and a lively Q&A with the audience that will get reluctantly cut short when event time runs out.

Maddie was an athletic little misfit as a kid, getting kicked out of Sparks/Brownies for distracting the other girls inventing games when she wasn’t interested in the planned activity. Growing up with ADHD in a family with high academic standards forced her to build an enormous toolkit of tricks, hacks and workarounds to deliver results on time even when motivation and interest frequently lacked.

Her career spanned hospitality, marketing, sales, retail operations and planning events, projects and writing books and talks for top Canadian entrepreneurs from Dragon’s Den and Entrepreneurs’ Organization. As an executive assistant for 10 years she learned to manage the most demanding of schedules and got very strategic about protecting the focus and energy of company leaders to keep scaling the business rapidly without burning out.

Her creative, make-your-own-rules mindset drew her to invent a proactive, holistic approach to time and energy management that worked so effectively for her and her exec that she began teaching the rest of her team, peers and then clients to do it for themselves. She asserts that taking care of your wellbeing and home life with the same strategic approach as you do work,‘grows the pie’ of time and energy for what matters most, expanding capacity by working with your natural rhythms and taking advantage of peak performance times.

She now shares her knowledge and tactics with individuals and teams to value and focus their time better like successful entrepreneurs do.
