Peggy Sullivan

In today’s hustle culture, we’re expected to do more with less—and fast. But what if the secret to getting ahead isn’t doing more, but doing less with intention?

Peggy Sullivan’s data-backed Performance by Design framework helps individuals, leaders, and teams escape time poverty, reclaim clarity, and boost performance without burning out. On average, people gain up to seven hours a week to reinvest in what truly matters. So, the question is: what could you or your organization do with more time?

In this high-energy, transformative keynote, Peggy reveals how to Achieve More by Doing Less using her proven, three-step Performance by Design framework. As a self-proclaimed “recovering busyness addict,” Peggy shares her personal journey out of overwhelm—trading exhaustion for intentional action, peak performance, and what she calls kinetic well-being.

Our culture glorifies busyness as a badge of honor. But Peggy’s proprietary research—outlined in her State of the Workplace report—paints a different picture: 94% of people are stuck in time poverty and desperately want out.

The cost? Lost productivity, declining engagement, and a severe toll on wellbeing and bottom-line results.

Delivered with Peggy’s signature blend of humor, heart, and high energy, this keynote is grounded in data and tailored to each audience. Attendees leave with a practical, repeatable process to reduce decision fatigue, eliminate low-value tasks, and drive meaningful results in performance, wellness, and engagement. Now more than ever, people need a clear path to escape time poverty—and replace it with Time Wealth.
