Award-winning author Grace Marshall, is known for her “refreshingly human” approach to productivity.
Her first book ’21 Ways to Manage the Stuff that Sucks Up Your Time’ was hailed by readers as the ideal book for people who don’t have time to read a time management book and topped the Amazon UK bestselling ranks for the categories of Time Management, Business Management and Small Business Entrepreneurship.
Her second book, ‘How to be Really Productive: Achieving clarity and getting results in a world where work never ends’ won The Commuter’s Read category at the CMI 2017 Management Book of the Year Awards, where judges described it as "a breath of fresh air."
Her third book Struggle: the surprising truth, beauty and opportunity hidden in life’s sh*ttier moments is out now.
As a Productivity Ninja with global productivity training company Think Productive, she has helped thousands of people adopt new ways of working and thinking about their work - from startup founders to corporate managers, artists to engineers, students and CEOs - to replace stress, overwhelm and frustration with success, sanity and satisfaction.
Her workshops and speaking tours have taken her from Norway to New York, with stages ranging from corporate headquarters to a tent in the New Forest, working with clients including Boots, HSBC, NHS, Scottish Government, Teenage Cancer Trust and KFC.
Her practical advice on productivity and work life balance has been featured in The Guardian, Irish Times, Forbes, Huffpost, London Economic Forum, Working Mums, Glamour, Business Matters and BBC Radio.
Lots of good, practical and applicable advice. Found myself ignoring most of the "fill-in" sections but found her real-life examples helpful. Felt like the author's work was overly focused on email and meeting productivity which I found difficult to apply to my field of medicine.
