Would you describe yourself as highly productive?

In this video, Sabrina reveals why most CEOs never reach peak productivity and how self-worth can help. She also goes through three tactical solutions for overwhelmed CEOs and the hidden benefits of asking for help.

Quotes:


“As a CEO, your responsibility is not just to your company, it’s also to yourself. The more you structure your week, the better focus you’ll have.”
“Self-worth is an internal thing that nobody can determine for you.”
“To be productive, you need a sustainable schedule that allows you to achieve maximum results over a period of time.”
