A proven productivity method that is designed for YOU
A big hello to the ambitious leader guilty of trying to fit life into the cracks of your business only treating productivity as faster and harder or longer hours.
And a shout out to the incredible established entreprenuer who's on that treadmill you can’t get off.
I absolutely see you. I know you. I have been you.
Being and feeling productive does not mean doing it at ALL cost.
That looks like:
➔ Reactive is constant - responsive and pro-active approaches feel rare.
➔ Feeling trapped on a treadmill you just can’t get off.
➔ Falling into procrastination and distraction because it’s just too hard to keep your head above the water, and you stop trying.
➔ Sprinting from day to day, hoping that the end of the race is in sight.
➔ Feeling like there haven’t been enough hours in your day for a long time.
➔ Managing so many open tabs in your brain - and noticing that sometimes that software feels like it is about to crash.
➔ Delivering ‘Just in time’ has become ‘All the time’ and replaced doing your best work.
➔ Hustling around the clock and never recharging but still setting unrealistic levels of performance for yourself and team.
So far, the conventional definition has only been leading us to believing we are not measuring up to it.
If this is you, know that you’re not falling short. The measurement is.
Here’s the thing. It’s time to redefine productivity and high performance - to one that works.
Let’s talk.
✺ Feeling stuck in a procrastination cycle.
✺ So close to burnout you feel it’s pull in your body.
✺ Praised for your high performance which feels like robot mode and you know you can’t sustain for much longer.
✺ Putting in the hours, but you feel like you’re still not doing your best work.
✺ Any wellness habits feel like another chore to do and you’ve had it with chores.
✺ Excelling at being busy, even thriving on it.
✺ Even resentful at feeling like there’s not enough of you to go around achieving all the things on your to-do list.
✺ Capable of incredible achievements, but something about your rhythm feels off, and you see the early signs in your life, relationships, health.
These are times that call for a very different approach. We’ve been burning the candle at both ends for far too long.
And not just in work and in life.
In EVERYTHING. And it shows.
And don’t worry, I’m not gonna tell you to slow right down. I know you’re ambitious. I know you're looking to shift your results and I know you are looking for a smarter, not harder way to operate and feel good about work and life again.
Here’s what I know to be true:
When you operate from a productivity rhythm, one designed for you, with you at the centre, what starts to happen is you…
Start unlocking new levels of success.
You accomplish more, and often, even faster.
You’re not worried ‘IF’ you are productive, YOU KNOW.
You are happier, more impactful, confident.
Less reactive, more proactive so you can look ahead, and not be stuck in the detail.
You can take care of yourself, feel more productive and have more freedom to manage your work.
and as one of our community shared: “To feel F!*$ing amazing, it literally feels like the good stuff is flowing out of me. Really satisfied with what I could achieve”.
Frankly it’s time to decide how we want to be moving forward, waiting for it to be ok again isn’t the answer.
I’m an international award winning and ICF certified business leadership coach. I went to grad school for Executive Coaching and Leadership, focussed on human behaviour and psychology models. In 25 years I’ve combined my corporate finance & insurance background with entrepreneurial drive to experience, learn and share habits for success.
Straight up, before you go any further, I need you to know that I’m not here to tell you all about my personal daily approach to how I live and it was the only thing that took me from a burned out corporate exec to an x-figure entrepreneur who takes 6 months off a year, so you can YOU can have your cake and eat it too, just like me.
So who am I to be inviting you to revolutionise your productivity and become a best version of you?
I work with incredibly ambitious, capable, courageous and kind human beings. The are small business leaders in ethical fashion and design industry. They are tech Exec’s and CEO’s. And Entrepreneurs who are constantly navigating uncertain futures.
They are ALL NOT committed to the status quo.
Another common thread in their success: Productivity is considered a foundational tool for success, and there is NO ONE WAY to be productive.
It’s time to re-write the definition - one with YOU in mind.
This is the biggest shift you can make: there is no one step-by-step guide for everyone to follow to achieve guaranteed peak performance, productivity success, joy or your best life. (whatever name you want to give it)
So how do you find an approach when there are so many answers, checklists, apps to nail that peak productivity down once and for all?
With a little help from the simple yet mighty method I’ve developed to guide you through step by step designing your own rhythm of success and of high performance.
Sustainable Pace gives ambitious women a new approach to productivity and 10 more hours in their week - even if they’re worn out with a never-ending to-do list - so they can feel organised, energised and focused on the big picture.
*Actual sample of the workbooks, activities and actions within the program as at October 2021*.
Sustainable PACE is the only program you’ll come across that starts with dispelling all the productivity and high performance myths you’ve been told.
First we’ll turn productivity on its head before rearranging it into a uniquely YOU-shaped rhythm.
But I also know your to-do list is already overwhelming, and adding yet another thing to it might add to that overwhelm.
Which is why I want to assure you that this course is designed to be exactly the opposite of another thing you don’t have time for to feel guilty about. Yes, you’ll have to put some time aside - but I promise you that time will give back to you in spades. It will give you back more time, energy and focus.
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.
The steps are a toolkit; your breadcrumbs to define, design and implement your productivity.
Each week is a step by step recipe to building a new way of thinking and doing, so you become more productive on your own terms.
By the end of the 8-weeks, you’ll have designed your own best approach to a more productive, less reactive day, week, month. LIFE.
You will have a plan that works regardless of your workload, your time out, the unplanned emergencies and one that works even more when you are designed into it, not out of it.
for creating this permission slip to teach us ALL that designing our own way of being, is best practice".

What is it costing you and your results by not shifting your unhelpful habits?
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.
Which 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.
THIS IS WHAT DITCHING THE STATUS QUO IS LOOKING LIKE:
“Wow! It’s only been two weeks. This morning routines stuff works!
I felt really focussed and calmer today after following the steps, woo hoo!”
‘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.’
- Executive coach and Organisational designer.
“Now I have added not only 5 but maybe 15 hours back to my week including the almost 2 hours that I dedicate to myself every morning and have also progressed in developing my business quite a lot!”
- Head Of Design & Customer experience.
‘I have awareness of my reality of productivity and I’m noticing more where there are productivity leaks and opportunities.’
- TELCO PROGRAM MANAGER.
Anyone serious about taking their life and business to a professional level needs this because unless you commit to organising your day, week, months and years, planning ahead and really understanding why you are doing what you are doing, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Which means, you don't really want it that bad! If you do, this is for you!
- Online business entrepreneur.
‘I’ve realised that I deserve to live my best life, not my back-up plan.’
- JOURNALIST & EDITORIAL biz owner.
Elana knows her stuff.
You are successful and know you are capable of more
You are an entrepreneur who is building a team and want to be more strategic, organised and create momentum.
You are a corporate manager or senior leader and constantly in the detail of your work, not focussed on the strategic direction.
You measure self worth by how productive you are and you tend to come out short
You’re a high achiever, no doubt. But you’re starting to wonder when you can stop striving
You’re open to questioning the narrative of productivity and high achievement you’ve been served
You’ve realised the life you want is not waiting for you at the bottom of your to do list and you’re ready to go deeper
You’re operating from a place of overwhelm that is oh-so-close to burnout
It might not be quite right for you if:
You’re looking externally for answers, checklists, apps to nail that peak productivity down once and for all.
You want a quick fix that requires you to not change a thing.
You only want to learn how to pack more into your day - stay stuck in hustle.
You’re not so comfortable challenging what isn't working for you.
The fact that you’ve got this far on the page tells me that something here might be speaking to you.
And also, maybe you still have questions. Let me help:
1/ How much time do I need to commit?
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 at least 2-3 hours per week over the 8 weeks of this program. This is including our weekly live workshops.
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!
2/ How is this different to Sustainher?
Focused on the importance of inner work and key mindset shifts, Pace is our foundational 8-week program to creating your own approach to productivity for a high-performing business and life.
Sustainher, is the next expanding stepping stone. A 7-month deep in-person and online immersive experience to equip you with a new modern leadership toolkit to approach your business, work, and life, functionally and strategically.
3/ What are the upcoming program dates?
This is the last Foundation round we will run for Sustainable PACE.
For you means the last time the financial investment will be at this price. We know that PACE creates transformational results. The next intake for Pace will be March 2022.
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.
4/ Why group coaching?
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.
5/ Why do we need to adopt a sustainable pace?
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.
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 what you and your business actually need, rather than sticking to working from a space of habit. And I suspect you know you're not as productive as you were a year ago, 3 years ago?
6/ What results do I GET?
Want to be inspired? Our clients who have adopted and continued to improve on building a sustainable pace have acheived 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 biggest tip. You will get the results only if you make the changes and follow the coaching. Be available for the coaching and results are non-negotiable.
7/ I don’t live in Australia, does that exclude me from participating?
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.
8/ WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PROGRAM IS OVER?
I love this part. Because this is where the real magic begins. The actual meaning of the word Sustainable? Is the idea of being capable of continuation at a certain level. Anchored in transformational learning, the things you learn during this program are designed to become long-lasting and have an impact on the way you live and work.
We offer ongoing monthly Masterclases and community support and accountability. You’ll also have a lifetime access to your tranings, a community of change-makers for support, guidance, and to celebrate the wins with.
9/ HOW LONG DO I HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM FOR?
You’ll have guaranteed access for twelve months following the completion of the program. To retain the resources longer than this we advise that you download them onto your own computer.
10/ have another questions?
Email us direct with hello@foundher.co or DM us @foundher.co on Facebook or Instagram.
And now that we got this far together, I have a question for you, if you’ll indulge me.
More of an invitation actually.
It’s time to picture how your life would look differently if you didn’t try to live by norms and measures that make you feel like you need to try harder, be better, go faster.
It’s time to shift from wanting to change, to deciding. Let’s make a fresh start, together.
