About the Program

The Productivity Pyramid is a course to help engineers take control of their work, get things done, and prioritize what matters.

 

Engineers everywhere struggle with many of the same issues: ever-growing to do lists, endless meetings, and bloated email inboxes.

It can feel impossible to get on top of things and get things under control without putting overtime in every week.

Luckily, it doesn’t have to be this way. You can get control of your work. All it takes is a system, and this course will show you the way.

Why You Should Enroll

  • Find calm confidence: Get control of your to-do list and leave stress behind.
  • Do important work every day: You became an engineer to do big things – get back to what matters.
  • Perform at your very best: Play to your strengths and do incredible work
  • Stop firefighting: Learn to avoid getting sucked into “emergencies”
  • Achieve your goals: Learn how to make time to accomplish the things you really want to.
  • Make a statement: Stand out from the crowd by making a real difference.

    Program Structure

    The Productivity Pyramid program takes place over eight weeks. It includes:

    • Weekly interactive learning sessions
    • Weekly group office hours
    • Biweekly individual coaching call

    Students will also get access to class presentations, video replays, worksheets, and templates for use throughout the couse. All materials are kept on a dedicated website for the cohort of students to use throughout the program.

    What Students are Saying

    Pat’s productivity course was fantastic. Productivity is something I’ve always struggled with. The content was great, but perhaps most importantly for me was the active discussion with Pat and the other participants that really helped me apply some of the concepts I was learning.

    Pat is an excellent teacher who brings actionable insights with lived experience. He truly wants all his clients and students to succeed, and it shows!

    Work with Pat if you want to level up your productivity!
