Why Should I Attend this Online Conference?

I know that you have way too many things on your to-do list.

And I also know that none of us can do it all.

The problem is that in our busy world of increasing demands, we have so much on our plates that it is physically impossible to do all the things.

And this means that some of the best things never happen.

Dreams get delayed, great opportunities slip by, important projects fall away, and critical relationships slowly disappear. Meanwhile, stress, burnout and overwhelm creep in.

Worst of all, you have that sinking feeling that life is passing you by.

You have great work to do, and you need to be learn to do it with purposeful productivity so that you can love your work and your life.

Purposeful productivity shouldn’t be so hard.

That’s where the Work by Design Summit comes in.

The Work by Design Summit is a FREE online summit that teaches you the power of purposeful productivity.

This summit brings together some of the biggest experts in the field of productivity and intentionality to talk about what it means to do great, purposeful work in the midst of our real lives — As executives, authors, parents, entrepreneurs, community volunteers, care-givers, dinner-cookers, garden-growers, dog-walkers and carpool drivers.

Listen to friends like Ken Blanchard, Adam Grant, Jon Acuff, Don Miller, Emily P. Freeman, Laura Vanderkam, Jeff Goins and Ruth Soukup share what it means to find purpose in your work, and productivity in your lives. You can trust these people. And you can trust me.

I’m @claire. A productivity expert and award-winning author with a unique approach to purposeful work. In my career as an early employee at Twitter, a social entrepreneur in Africa, and a globetrotting mama of three, I have been passionate about the power of intentional work and living life on purpose. Named by Fast Company as one of the most creative people in business, I definitely take a creative approach to productivity.

Specifically, I believe that conventional productivity wisdom ignores one important thing: real life.

That’s why the 50+ speakers in The Work by Design Summit aren’t just experts in their fields. They are also as real and authentic as they come when it’s time to share with you the power of purposeful productivity in helping you work and live by design.

“Thanks for that wonderful summit. I hope to practice the tons of tips from the interviews!”

Alirio A.

“Thank you for a great summit! You were an excellent host, asking good questions, directing the speakers to go deeper, and guiding the discussion to things that your audience would be truly interested in. I went into sponge mode and tried to soak up as much as I could.”

Elsie Callender

“Thanks for the Work by Design Summit! I watched nearly every video and very much enjoyed it. I have a notebook full of notes and tons of ideas. I too have been a student of productivity for some time, but my challenge lately is that, while our home based businesses are doing well, I feel like there is something else for me to be doing and I haven’t quite nailed it down yet. I think some of the information in the Summit talks has really helped me take some steps in the right direction of figuring it out and just getting started on some new things.

I am so glad to have discovered you and so many other amazing and inspiring people through this summit. Thanks so much! What an inspired project!”

Melanie James
