The online, at-your-desk training program that’s busting the myth that we need more time to get things done
Struggling To Keep Up?
Are you and your team scurrying around the edges of your work, applying time-management theory when you remember to but, frankly — just chasing your tails?
There’s an ever-growing work pile and a fear that things are falling through the cracks. Little jobs trump the big ones and Friday rolls around along with a disturbing sense that you’re no further ahead on your main project than you were five days ago.
Or worse — you’ve slipped backwards.
Beating overwhelm and sharpening priorities are key to your success — you know this going into every working week. But, once you step onto the merry-go-round of unexpected meetings, urgent tasks and the inevitable hiccups of life outside work, you’re suddenly trapped in an exhausting game of catch-up.
That’s when the pressure builds. It’s when procrastination kicks in, because what was once vaguely manageable has morphed out of proportion and you don’t know how you’re ever going to get through it.
Waiting for that clear stretch of time, or that meeting-free day, or for the office to be quiet, or for after-hours only exacerbates your private fear: You’re never going to catch up, something important won’t get done and people who matter are going to notice.
My 15 Minutes @ Work
rescues you from the fear of losing control
Based on the success of our acclaimed personal development and small business programs, My 15 Minutes @ Work provides you and your team with simple, daily tasks that improve your working life, 15 minutes at a time.
While you’ll advance your sense of organisation and lower your stress through the program's daily 15-minute tasks alone, the real gold in the program is always in the mindset shift. We know that chunking large tasks down is the secret to success and accomplishment, but people rarely value the slivers of time in their day.
My 15 Minutes @ Work busts the time myths that hold people back:
- ‘It’s not long enough to get anything done…’
- ‘I can’t start now — I have a meeting in 15 minutes…’
- ‘I’d need at least an hour for that…’
- ‘I won’t be able to focus in such a short space of time…’
- ‘I’d be better off just answering some emails instead…’
What if, instead of frittering the nooks and crannies in your day you read a short, sharp technique on mindset then snatched 15 minutes to:
- Blast through perfectionism by identifying where you’re stuck ‘colouring in the title page’ on a work project
- Take your #1 work problem, set a timer and 'solve it' on the back of an envelope with the simplest solution possible
- Write the list of things you do ‘because we’ve always done it this way’ and plant the seeds of change
- Slash through your inbox, deleting and unsubscribing from any newsletters or publications you haven’t read in the last 6 months
What if everyone in your team spent 15 minutes each day on a designated strategic or operational activity that propelled your workplace forward faster?
Once you’ve experienced for yourself the power of fifteen-minute blocks, you’ll find yourself powering through tasks in micro-bursts throughout your day. It’s a strategy that you’ll apply across your life and the gains at work will be:
- Higher productivity
- Less procrastination and overwhelm
- Lowered stress and lowered risk of burnout
- Greater self-belief
- A calmer approach during stressful periods
With its unique, online structure spread over 15 days (with 6 bonus tasks to increase work-life balance and well-being), My 15 Minutes @ Work won’t take you out of the office for training. It’s time to put the theories into action. You’ll dive right in, at your desk, and get stuck into improvements to your organisation and mindset that you can tick off your ‘to do’ list while your first coffee of the day is brewing.
This is streamlined, smart, savvy training that slips effortlessly into your day and creates powerful shifts in your thinking.
How does the ‘My 15 Minutes’ Program work?
It’s a ‘paint-by-numbers’, ‘do this, now do that’ sequence of practical activities that will draw you closer to how productive you want to feel at work. Fifteen minutes at a time. With an online cheer squad.
We know you’re busy. We’re busy too.
We know it’s hard. We find it hard as well.
We ALL have 15 minutes a day.
We do. No martyrs. No excuses.
How we’ll deliver it:
- 15 minutes at a time!
- In a simple, straight-forward, easy-to-follow system landing in your inbox daily, that allows you to improve your productivity at work, one easy step at a time
- It's a daily shot of inspiration and an action plan that, when added upon daily for 15 days, enhances your working life the way that compound interest enhances your bank balance
Specific learning outcomes will be:
- More efficient use of what is often thought of as ‘offcuts’ of time in the day (time between meetings, or at each end of the day or at any time when there is not a ‘clear run’ of time available)
- Understanding of participants' own relationship with time and how this influences their productivity
- Practical application of mindset / approach in the workplace, through 21 daily 15-minute activities and the supporting materials
- Reduction in overwhelm and procrastination by applying simple strategies and new ways of thinking
- Understanding of how little time some tasks really take to complete and using this to get more done during the day
Choose between two versions
There are 2 versions of the program.
The first is suited to managers, team leaders and senior team members. The second is for ‘on-demand’ team members, contact centre and customer support staff who may have less ‘autonomy’ over their work and time.
If you have a mix of team members, you can purchase a combination of programs to meet the needs of different staff.

Why our clients love it...
Here are just a few comments from our My 15 Minutes program members. Read more on our Testimonials page.
The My 15 Minutes program has re-awoken my passion for life. I didn't even realise that I had lost it amid the daily grind, but now I have so much more enthusiasm and energy. Beth Cavallari, Double Negative Photography
This program is amazing at reminding you how much is possible and it only takes 15 minutes at a time. It re-energised and re-ignited me as an individual set me on a new path of self discovery and self worth which benefits every aspect of my life. JL, My 15 Minutes member
Thanks so much!!! Some simple things that we forget, and the reminder that we need. And fantastic ideas we'd never think of. Loved the program! LK, My 15 Minutes member
Just wanted to thank Emma and Audrey for an exceptionally run program. Particularly your obvious commitment and dedication shown in your responses - both in speed and thoughtfulness. Your video today addressed a specific issue you had observed as opposed to a generic topic. Well done and thanks again. X" SP, My 15 Minutes member
I knew I would like this program from the moment I read the description! The biggest thing I have taken away is that now if a task seems insurmountable, I think "I'll just spend 15 minutes on it." It's a mindset that can help everyone. Anne George, word and web by george
Brilliantly constructed program. A lot of thought and considered ideas presented in daily emails. Very impressed with constant Facebook interaction. Priority seemed to be value for client. Daily tasks were concise and very doable in 15 minute context. SB, My 15 Minutes member

Still On The Fence?
We know that this program is not for everyone. Much as we'd love you to join us, this program is not for you if...
- You expect an email a day to magically change your life and improve your productivity at work, without taking action each day on that email
- You're not prepared to roll up your sleeves and implement each daily task, for 15 minutes per day
- You're happy to do the simpler challenges, but likely to avoid what's outside your comfort zone
- If you miss a day or two, you're likely to give up instead of dusting yourself off, picking up where you left off and continuing
- You can't confine yourself to 15 minute slices of activity, and you're at risk of exhausting yourself by going overboard
- You're not ready to embrace a new way of working and to keep an open mind
