  • The white noise of life is distracting us from living a life that is one of joy, ease, and full of potential. Being busy doesn't mean we're productive... and doesn't even mean we're doing things that actually matter. So how do we stop the busy work and start using our time doing things that allow us to tap into our potential with little effort? By focusing our attention on things that really matter by laying the groundwork for maximum output using minimum effort through the smart lazy MVP principle (Mindfulness, Vision, and Productivity). Adriana Girdler is one of Canada’s foremost business productivity and project management specialists. Armed with a Master Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt, PMP (Project Management Professional) and CET (Certified Engineering Technologist) designations and over 20+ years of experience in projects, productivity, and process improvement she launched her consulting firm, CornerStone Dynamics, in 2008. Adriana has worked in various industries, leading companies and individuals to improve what they do and how they do it by shifting thinking and implementing new ways of working. Adriana is an author of the SparkShift book series and The Visual Vision Statement Workbook. She is also the creator of SLAY Project Management, the only 5-hour on-line practical PM course that takes you from concept to close so you can SLAY your projects. Adriana is also married to Mike and has two boys who are currently in university. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    As a single mom I can totally relate to Julie’s story. I’m excited to put the MVP Approach to work in my life!

    Loved watching this talk in person and loved it just as much the second time! Love the concept of using mindfulness, visioning, and productivity to be smart lazy and achieve what you really want in life.
