For this week's Inspirational Leadership Podcast I spoke with Clare Kumar, who's a Productivity catalyst and highly sensitive executive coach. Clare helps professionals achieve sustainable performance - improving productivity and well-being while avoiding exhaustion and burnout. She draws on a diverse corporate career that took her from Toronto to Tokyo and Montreal, with equal experience as an entrepreneur. She is a sought-after media contributor to news and lifestyle shows including the Huffington Post, Fast Company, the Globe and Mail, CBC, The Social, and the Marilyn Denis Show. Whether speaking to one person or thousands, Clare loves inspiring massive shifts by inviting you to pay attention to little things that make a big difference. Clare has become one of Canada's most renowned organizing and productivity thought leaders offering insights, inspiration, strategies, and tools to support leaders, employees, and entrepreneurs have greater efficiency, effectiveness, and... enjoyment. Yes, Clare believes in having fun while getting things done! She welcomes all highly sensitive professionals as well as those who want to love and support them to find community in the Happy Space Pod. In this episode we discuss what it looks like to be a highly sensitive person, why we need more rest areas in workplaces, how leaders can create more autonomy for their teams, why wellbeing and sustainability need to be cornerstones of productivity and the importance of white space in calendars. ⇢ Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/ClareKumar
