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.

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!
