"Martha Ringer has a natural gift for her work. Her skill as a productivity coach is masterful. I learned how to transfer ideas and projects in my head to paper, take the necessary next actions, and as a result experience greater peace and balance in my life."
Judy Abrams, President of Ovarian Cancer National Alliance
"Martha’s process and guidance add to the breakthroughs in neuroscience. This is a real practice that works to free us from “continuous partial attention,” thus creating the brain space and brain chemical balance required for our best executive brain function.
With Martha’s help I have seen clearly my mental models of (in)efficiency that create a sense of overload and time scarcity. Martha gently but firmly creates a new mindset and the habits to support it.."
Eddie Erlandson, EVP Worth Ethic Corporation,MD Vascular Surgeon, Author Alpha Male Syndrome
"I now understand the value of completing actions one at a time. I used to think that multi-tasking was the effective way to work. After working with Martha and setting up my new action systems, I am back in charge and in control of my life. Multitasking is no longer my habit. This simple, powerful system works. I leave the office at the end of the day feeling complete, regardless of whatever still remains on my action lists. Letting my lists instead of my head track my actions has freed me from the stress of trying to remember what I need to do and keeps me focused on the priority."
Marie Arlt, Chief Operating officer, Analytic Investors
"Martha Ringer is the productivity coach who has helped me organize my desk and work flow. In 2 days' time, my office looked like a brand-new place, and my work flow is now clean and efficient."
Jack Canfield, Co-Creator of Chicken Soup For the Soul
"Martha lives what she teaches. She is insightful with her observations and suggestions. As a team, my staff is now making better decisions, taking action in the moment, and creating the outcomes we want, with more relaxation and cooperation. We continue to invite Martha back each year to keep us on track and to have her work with new employees. We all appreciate the impact her presence has on us individually and as a group and we are more productive with less stress as a result. ."
Everett Dowling, President, The Dowling Company, Inc.
"My "office" travels with me since Martha Ringer's coaching on the action management system. No more lost time as I move through airports, or set up in hotels, my home, or corporate offices. Eight years later, it's a habit that keeps giving me peace-of-mind because I haven't forgotten promises made to colleagues or family."
Susan Thronson, SVP Global Marketing, Marriott International
"The value started with cleaning up the unholy mess of my office and continues with the practice of focusing my energy, creativity, and intellect on one thing at a time, knowing all the pending items are tracked and will get my attention in their time.
I used to ask, 'If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, what is an empty desk the sign of?' Now I find having the actual physical space to work and think invaluable. For me the true value of this work is in learning discipline and focus; focus to identify the next actions, and discipline to regularly consider the big picture to decide the priorities. This approach can truly be life changing."
Richard Voos, Vice President of Advancement, Babson College
"When I work with Martha, I immediately start breathing more deeply. I am participating fully in my work and life because of the actual work we have done. I find collaborating with Martha among my very favorite experiences."
Kathlyn Hendricks, CEO, Hendricks Institute
"Most work colleagues were shocked I even needed such assistance. I'm one of these "clean desk" high-performance executives. However, to keep exceeding external performance measures, I was spending more and more time at work. Martha noticed right away that I was over-organizing to handle the volume. During the two days, I practiced action instead of organization and found the key to my issue. My new action-oriented system is keeping me focused on completing, and I know how to create the balance I was seeking."
