SUSTAINABLE PACE
A proven productivity method that is designed for YOU

 
 
When was the last time you learned a new approach to manage your time, goals and plans?

From never having enought time and feeling constantly worn out, in 8 weeks Sustainable Pace teaches you how to set up your day, week and quarterly plans for work and life.
We teach you a method, coach you through the changes that are right for you, not someone elses definition of success.

We give you the tools to truly lead and be YOUR best, so you can do your best work.

 

If you identify as a “ someone fairly organised and mostly on top of it”.

You are in the right place!

I'm so glad you’re here because it tells me you already know you have some great approaches to how you manage work and life and performance but you’re ready to take it to the next level. (And you KNOW you don’t want the next level to be harder hustle.)

I also understand what it’s like to be that dedicated and passionate performer guilty of trying to fit life into the cracks of your work and vice versa.

I’ve been that business leader. 

I’ve been that start-up founder

I’ve been you.

And I can tell you right now, there is absolutely a better way. 

We work with you , the already successful leader who knows the importance of managing your time and you’re looking to expand their toolkit with modern ways to do that. An approach that unlocks trapped value you’re dying to let out, one that gives space to think more strategically, connect more with your team and design YOU into your week, not out of it.

When Sustainable PACE is up? You leave with a deep understanding of who you want to be next and an already established daily weekly and monthly routine along with a 90 day plan mapped out and ready to go.

 

 

Over the years I have signed up and participated in many personal and professional development courses, the result of which is usually “well chapter 2 and chapter 18 were helpful, there might be some things I can take out of that and try”.

Hand on heart, this program, your insights and techniques are the only ones that have changed the way I think feel and act.

Sustainable PACE recognises you as a human and shows you how to harness that, not force you to operate like a robotic script.
 
 
 
 
 

What I know is that success can't be set on autopilot by following someone else's simple steps or acting like a machine

This program is for you if:

➝ You want to feel your best, do great work and feel recharged more often. (Isnt that what the standard of high performance should be?)

➝  You’ve realised the daily routine you keep and the way you used to balance work and life isn't as effective anymore.

➝  You want to be educated and understand the connection to how stress, nervous system response, resilience and boundaries play a role in performance and potential and create change.

➝  You think the only way to be successful is to work more. (If you read this and think this is true - you need this program)

➝  Your current way of working is go go go , feel burnt out, take a few days off or a mini-break and jump back into it.. rinse and repeat.

➝  Your work demands a higher capacity and so do your customers, your team and your life.

➝  You’re done with the conversation about needing to change, you’ve heard and talked about it to death.

 

 

“I had this really rigid view of what productivity is, I thought it was just about getting the to-do lists done. Everything Elana said was so relevant to what I was experiencing at work, I thought, this is something I should learn more about. Sustainable PACE is unique because it also addresses the core beliefs that get in the way of high performance and productivity.”

GRACE - PHYSIOTHERAPIST, RESEARCHER & PROGRAM MANAGER

 

 
Welcome to Sustainable Pace

If you want to build new levels of success, your actions and ways of being must be different. 

This 8 week program is a simple yet powerful productivity framework and method developed to guide you step by step through how to design your own rhythm of success and high performance.

A rhythm fit for changing worlds and external demands that allows us to create success in a way that matters — a way that fits and works for you.

It looks a little like this:

 
 
 
 

Each step you learn is part of a toolkit; your breadcrumbs to define, design and implement.

But the real difference is that you’re not replicating the steps that worked for somebody else’s success in life, work, rhythm or goals.

You’re redefining productivity to create success and a rhythm that works for you. For your life. For your work.

 
 

Here’s how it works:

➝  Create Capacity

Each week offers a step-by-step recipe for building a new way of thinking and new actions to implement, so you become more productive on your own terms. I recognise that your to-do list is already overwhelming, so while it does take a commitment, within two to three weeks participants tell us they have more time, energy and focus back (in spades). Your bandwidth will expand. 

➝  Restore Routines 

There are millions of quick tips and rituals - and we know you have likely tried a few. This program busts the myths and instead, you will Learn not just the what, more importantly why and how to create daily approaches that help you perform, and recharge. You will feel a significant difference in how you are thinking and feeling and by the end of the 8-weeks, you’ll have designed your own best approach to a more productive, less reactive day, week, month and quarter. Who you are being on the inside will feel ordered and calmer and what you are doing on the outside will be noticed and deeply felt by you and your team.

➝  Master Momentum

With a new pro-active approach to work and life, you will have a plan and tools that works regardless of the workload, your time out and space for the unplanned emergencies. One that works even more when you are designed into it, not out of it. Your bandwidth will expand. 

 

 

“Pace has given me a HUGE AWARENESS about my stories and limiting beliefs, and also has helped me develop a rhythm and way of being that makes me HAPPY and I feel 1000% more POSITIVE now.

I feel that my productivity has gone up by at least 40% and not only that but my creativity is up again, I now have space to think and that is so important for me and the work I do”.

CATA - HEAD OF DESIGN

 

PROGRAM OUTLINE
What you’ll learn week by week over our 8-week program:

 
  • Upon enrolment, your new change of PACE will begin.

    We’ve created this foundations week to get you ready for success. This means no scrambling, clarity on what to expect each week and a couple of actions you can take to ‘get ahead’ before we start, or not.

    Elana has personally recorded a welcome video and we’ll invite you to connect with us in a private group ahead of the first call.

    You’ll have the dates and details to plan into your calendar well in advance and a couple of actions to have transformation and change occurring before we begin.

  • We can't get to where we want to go without knowing where we start. This module is all about getting clarity on what your current mode of productivity is.

    ➝ Get hard facts on what and where your time is going, what demands get thrown your way and understand what specific steps will work for you and your life. No hacks or cut and paste cheat sheets here!

    ➝ Learn to grow your self-awareness for productivity and why it’s one of our greatest assets for change.

    ➝ Start to recognise your own unhelpful habits and how they impact your actions EVERY DAY

    ➝ Begin to make changes, and see the difference already!

  • It’s time to start sharpening up this key skill for high performance. Honestly, this super power is untapped and i’ll show you your next level. (Even if you are “self-aware”, this will show you a whole new level)

    ➝ Drawing on neuroscience and biology you will learn why uncertainty is uncomfortable and can prevent us from taking action.

    ➝ Receive a daily and weekly framework with specific instructions for you to start designing your own rhythm.

    ➝ We will be testing what works for you and what doesn’t fit with your individual demands — and learn what to do about that. There is no one right way to performance.

    ➝ Find out how we think about time, and re-write old leadership and performance methods.

    ➝ Practice setting a goal for the next 30 days and get coaching on any mind traps that stop you from doing this.

    ➝ ➝ ➝ GET ELANA 1:1 TO WORK WITH YOU TO PUT MORE HOURS BACK, AND IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.

  • This is where you start developing your own practice of productivity and high performance.

    ➝ ➝ If you’ve invested in 1:1 coaching OPTION, Elana will have reviewed your plan with you and provide specific changes and actions based on your goals and routines to accelerate your results

    ➝ Feel the flow-on effect of a new proactive approach to your day and week.

    ➝ You’ll find more time to focus on the bigger picture thinking space for work and life.

    ➝ Using the self awareness muscle more, you’ll discover why things aren't getting done and be able to feel confident to make a change in your day, work and time.

    ➝ Already you will have gained more insight into creating a better approach to your day and week, and take more intelligent action, take a new approach and feel unstuck in overwhelm.

  • Module 4 shows you how design your ideal workday and week. This isn’t your pie-in-the-sky perfect day to be experienced once all the stars align; every day can be your ideal day and we’re going to design how that looks like for you with all the balls you juggle.

    ➝ Reshape both your habits and actions. This upgrade will look and feel like moving from iPhone 7 to 13 for your productivity levels.

    ➝ Get clear on how many hours you’ve found with your own practices in place.

    ➝ We’ll review the short term goals we set and discover what motivation and reward does to our capacity to recharge.

    We’re building better neural pathways, and building days and weeks that have recharge and success built it.

  • It’s time to start integrating your being with your doing. This means what you have been reflecting, learning and implementing will be visible to others, and how calm and clarity have returned to your week.

    ➝ Just over half way through the program is where you will have a whole new approach to your day, your week and have a deeper understanding of how your personal routines and rituals work. This is intelligent habit stacking - and it will work because it was designed with you.

    ➝ We’ll revisit your belief system around productivity and performance now, create some more upgraded habits and find even more time in your week.

    ➝ Create order on the inside and adopt more advanced daily practices for prioritisation and action-taking.

    ➝ Take stock of how this new way of being productive has positively impacted other areas of your life, like mindset, confidence, health, wellness and relationships at work and home.

  • This is where you’ll develop your very own quarterly planning approach (without the yawns). This method is simple, fun, tailored to you and best of all, IT WORKS. (And just like all things foundher, its based in academic frameworks and science - not just someone else’s way to do things)

    ➝ Learn how to remove barriers to bigger thinking and get clear on how you work best

    ➝ Finally, remove the tyranny of the to-do list from your life and focus on the bigger picture

    ➝ Learn a 90-day framework that’s creative, simple, realistic and achievable.

  • Our world is far from “normal”. It’s messy. Complex. And ever-changing. This is what is known as VUCA and we need to learn to navigate it, not be paralysed by it.

    ➝ This week’s coaching will explore any changes in work and life that you have encountered so far and how to adapt plans when things change or go off track.

    ➝ Learn about your own capacity and specific steps to plan for the unknown.

    ➝ Know the different work types and how this can impact our energy, focus and capacity.

    ➝ Put your practical 90-day plan into action

    If you’ve invested in 1:1 coaching with Elana, together you’ll review your 90-day planning and Elana will provide specific actions based on your goals and routines to accelerate your results — and make success non-negotiable

  • You cannot change without action. You’ve made an investment to change things, and we’re going to hold you accountable.

    ➝ This new toolkit doesn’t disappear once the program finishes, nor does it when work is relentless and in peak periods - we’ve made sure you know exactly what to do when these things happen.

    ➝ More than ever you will know how to make your new model of productivity sustainable.

    ➝ Get super clear on what you want your next 90 days to look and feel like

    ➝ Take stock of how this new way of being productive has positively impacted other areas of your life, like mindset, confidence, health, wellness and relationships at work and home.

 

“This journey to uncovering how I perform best is so inspiring and I love foundher 

for creating this permission slip to teach us ALL that designing our own way of being, is best practice".

RUTH - ORGANISATIONAL DEsigner & leadership COACH


 
 
 
Sustainable Pace is so much more than a standard "improve your performance" program.

 
 

Order, clarity, focus and creating success from one day to the next can’t be rigid or fixed - it’s time to toss aside the conventional one-size-fits-all productivity tool kit and the outdated notion that most days (even weeks) look the same — they don't.

Here's how it works:

 
 

LIVE Q&A WEEKLY COACHING
You’ll become part of a small intimate group, where you can access live group Q&A weekly coaching with Elana. You can ask questions, unpack obstacles, and learn from others. We will meet you where you are at and give you steps and coaching for you to apply and get growth and results.

WEEKLY MODULES WITH VIDEOS & WORKSHEETS

Ahead of every week live group call with Elana you will have access to the weeks module workbook, videos and activities. The learning platform is easy to follow and keep track of your progress. To get maximum results from the program, we suggest an additional 60-90mins to complete the lessons and worksheets and implement changes so you see and feel results every week.

10 HOURS BACK IN YOUR WEEK

If finding more time is your goal, you’ll find and put up to 10 hours back in your week by implementing the sustainable pace method. What you will feel is less reactive, have more time to think, a deeper connection and expanded bandwidth to create the success you want.


CURATED BY EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

A coaching and training program designed and built 100% by foundher.
One of the key purposes of our leadership programs is to influence people’s awareness (being) and habits (doing) to become more effective leaders. Built using double-loop learning principles to help students acquire and integrate new information and develop new skills, to question and possibly discard familiar and perhaps outdated ways of thinking, feeling, and acting leaving high level potential to shift.

IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO GET STARTED

Zero overwhelm is planned into the course. Upon enrolment, you'll get immediate access to our learning platform and have access to an EXTRA foundation module. The purpose is to walk you through how you can set up key elements in advance, no last minute hustle. It gives you the chance to work at your own PACE.

POWERFUL PERSONALISED 1:1 COACHING WITH ELANA

You’ll have the opportunity to meet and receive powerful coaching directly from me to support your personal pace and rhythm twice in the program. (this is our clients favourite part, and one of the most transformational experiences of the entire program!)

 

During the program you also experience:

 
 

NO MATTER YOUR INDUSTRY, HAVING YOUR OWN DEFINTION AND APPROACH WORKS!
After the program, this is what defining YOUR success looks like:

 

EXECUTIVE COACH & ORGANISATIONAL DESIGNER
“Wow! It’s only been two weeks. This morning routine stuff works! I felt really focused and calmer today after following the steps, woohoo! I'm much more open to the idea of designing a life that I love, rather than just going with the flow, which is how I've operated for a long time.”

PROGRAM MANAGER
“I would have these unrealistic to-do lists, and of course, not get through them by the end of the day, and then feel annoyed and frustrated with myself. Now, I’m checking myself and saying it’s not about getting it all done – there has to be me at the centre of all that doing. I have structure and a framework, but I also have flexibility. And I know it’s OK to bend.”

FOUNDER, BOOK-KEEPER & ACCOUNTANT

““I felt like I was on a one-way track to burnout. PACE has changed my life””

JOURNALIST & EDITORIAL BIZ OWNER

“Now I have added not only 5 but maybe 15 hours back to my week incl“I’ve realised that I deserve to live my best life, not my backup plan.”

HEAD OF NICHE INSURANCE BRANDS
“I’ve found that I’ve got more energy during the day, through having learned these new routines and set myself new ways of doing things. I don’t feel these highs and lows of energy shifts. I feel much more level.This is the first time where I have made significant change from what I’ve learned, so that’s why PACE stands out for me as being something that is transformational.”

TAFE PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR & SMALL BUSINESS OWNER
“I was in a constant state of overwhelm. Now, my productivity has increased, but my stress has decreased. Sustainable PACE isn’t about giving you a set-and-forget rhythm, but a toolkit that you can continue to practise and call on when life throws you a curveball. It’s a whole new way of operating daily that supports you in being your best, so you can step out of autopilot behaviours like overwhelm. ”


TELCO PROGRAM MANAGER
“I have awareness of my reality of productivity and I’m noticing more where there are productivity leaks and opportunities.”

PHYSIOTHERAPIST & PERSONAL TRAINER

“This has been and still is one of THE BEST self-learning, developing and loving experiences and goes deep into all parts of my life. Wouldn’t have been the same without you amazing women! I’m happy to show up on zoom every Friday to keep the growing and conversations going”.

EXECUTIVE MANAGER - PERFORMANCE
“It's week 5 and I am blown away by the number or hours I have found in my week. Time for my morning routine, afternoon routine, Sunday session and the time I claimed back in my schedule from Re-calibrating my calendar. 13 hours a week!.”

Our Community
Our Ripples.


 
 
Do you know this community is overflowing with AMAZING women just like you?

All around the foundher community, we get to bear witness to an extraordinary evolution of what it means to be a high-performing leader and create ripple of change - the way you want them to.


These women, and dozens more like them, had the courage to say: ‘The status quo isn’t working well enough for me, and I am prepared to make change for it to be different.’


And so this is my question to you right now: Are you living your best life or your back-up plan? If it’s the latter, are you ready to do something about it? If you are, we’ve got a proven performance method that is designed for YOU!


 
 
 

 

How often is this program open for enrollment?

Sustainable Pace is only taught live online by Elana Robertson. It is open for enrolment 3 times per year only. Enhancing performance is highly personalised, so we keep participant size small. Every student will learn new approaches, take new action and change habits because that is the only scientific method that creates lasting change and transformation…Everything else is just a quick fix or someone else's version of success and isn’t sustainable.

The Happiness guarantee

Sustainable PACE is our proven method underpinned by our signature Ripple Effect Framework™, PACE pools together my years of experience in high performance arenas with my drive to create tangible and long-lasting results in the lives of ambitious leaders. And because I stand by the value that is in this experience, I am backing this up with a 7-day money-back guarantee. This means if you complete all activities, exercises, and worksheets, and you aren’t satisfied with the results, I will refund your investment. That is how much I believe in the value of this program. This is how much change it will create.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PROGRAM?

When you enrol in PACE you’ll also be given an invitation for Sustain.Ability — our ongoing mentorship designed to support your new productivity toolkit and become even more capable, connected and impactful. Why? Because the PACE method has a cumulative effect, the more you practice and embed the more time, performance and energy you have to do what you love most.

Elana’s formal education includes university Executive post-graduate studies in Leadership and Coaching with QUT, attendance and membership with Harvard Medical Institute of Coaching along with a Professional Coaching Certification standard with the International Coaching Federation - the gold standard for coaching.

Elana deeply believes that if we don’t get the foundations right (aka having a way of working that feels good and creates success) nothing else will perform as good. Think of this as a great ROI for all the future time and planning you want to save.

So why are we inviting you to revolutionise your productivity, rediscover new approaches to performance and become the best version of you? 

foundher has a mission - to equip ambitious leaders of change with a new toolkit designed for our modern messy world.

Frequently asked questions

 
  • Great question. And the answer is probably not what you’re expecting.

    On paper, to get the most out of this program, you’ll need to schedule in:

    1. The weekly live coaching calls that are 1 hour each week for 8 weeks.

    2. If you want success to be non-negotiable we suggest to schedule an additional 60-90 mins per week.

    However, by embarking on the journey of PACE, what you’ll soon find is by implementing the actions and the learnings in the program, your takeaway will go beyond a renewed way of thinking and doing, but ultimately being. As a result, your performance will be heightened and you’ll find more hours back in your every day. We have participants saying they feel calmer and are finding time within 2 weeks of starting!

  • Focused on the importance of inner development combined with action focused tools and shifts, Pace is our 8-week program to creating your own approach to productivity for a high-performing business and life. We call it foundational because we know this is the new BASIC level of performance needed for creating and maintaining success.

    SustainHer, is a 7-month program with deep in-person strategy workshops and online immersive experience to equip you with systems-thinking leadership, strategic innovation frameworks and a pathway for using business as a force for good. This program support those already with a great PACE.

  • Sustainable PACE is led by Elana Robertson with dedicated support from our community lead, we offer limited places three times per year

    We know that PACE creates transformational results. The next intake for PACE will be February, July & September 2023. Places are limited to ensure transformation and personal coaching.

    If you know your productivity needs to be different, do not “stick it out” or burn out, instead, choose to make change in 8 weeks.

  • What is personal, is also universal.

    This means that when we all show up and ask questions, our knowledge is amplified. Because the answers to your questions will support the learning of others in our community, and so too will the answers to their questions support your learning.

    Through our weekly live and intimate sessions, you’ll build consistency, accountability, support, and confidence side-by-side, with our community of like-minded change-makers.

  • When was the last time you learned and practiced improving your own productivity and performance apart from constant pressure testing?

    Every day, you change the things around you. You adjust your systems. Upgrade your software.

    You assess. Identify. And enhance.

    But you are still operating (behaving and doing) exactly as you always have.

    Are you equipped for the future or the past?

    Your systems, processes, and teams are changing. Growing. Evolving. But you? For the most part, are still operating and applying the same ‘get stuff done’ techniques you stepped into when times were simpler.

    This program puts you back in control. It gives you the opportunity to assess the problem before jumping straight into (any) solution-finding mode.

    It’s about assessing priority, dependency, deadlines and demands that are actually needed, rather than sticking to a way of working that - well, isn't working. And I suspect you know you're not as productive as you were a year ago, 3 years ago?

  • Want to be inspired? Our clients who have adopted and continued to improve on building a sustainable pace have achieved 10 hours back every week.

    They recognise their productivity and their teams are transformed from clarity and action.

    They have time to focus on business strategies, therefore results are more consistent and faster.

    *** Totally upfront. Want our biggest tip? You will get the results only if you make the changes and follow the coaching. Be available for the coaching and your results are non-negotiable.

  • Not at all!

    This program is completely online, so you can join us from wherever in the world you live. We want more leaders of change to last.

    We’ve had participants who are located all over Australia, New Zealand, the USA and South East Asia.

  • I love this part.

    This is NOT a “it was good while it lasted’ program.

    Because this is where the real transformation begins.

    The actual meaning of the word Sustainable?

    Is the idea of being capable of continuation at a certain level without depletion of natural resources. (YOU)

    The actual meaning of the word PACE?

    Move or develop (YOU) at a particular rate or speed.

    We have participants who finish PACE and want to continue to build even more PACE, so we developed a monthly ongoing mentorship with Masterclasses and community support with accountability. Even more momentum. Once you’re confidently using your PACE toolkit, we’ll show you how to activate the next level too.

    We have guest speakers, 90 day planning workshops and change of season actions so all year round you can continue to build momentum and PACE with ongoing support and coaching.

  • You’ll have access for twelve months following the last live masterclass hosted in your round of PACE.

    To retain the resources longer than this we suggest that you download the workbooks onto your own computer for ongoing reflection and exercises.

    Access to the course also means it is for you only, the person who purchases.

    We have developed this program with years of experience, therefore the terms and conditions all of the PACE material is foundher IP and cannot be shared or re-used including log-ins.

  • Email us direct at hello@foundher.co , we’ll answer any questions you have to support you making the best decision for you.

    You can also fill out a contact form that will drop to the top of our inbox.

    You can also catch Elana on DM @foundher.co on Instagram
