Guest Bio
Jason Henkel is a renowned expert in personal and team productivity. Jason's unique, brain-based approach to productivity and wellbeing is not just about getting more done, but rather about achieving far more meaningful output in less time while keeping balance and wellbeing at center stage.
Jason's journey to becoming a productivity expert is as inspiring and relatable to so many. He climbed the ranks of a Fortune 100 company, finding himself in a demanding, globe-trotting role. Despite his hard work and determination, he found himself overwhelmed by the always on culture of our modern era and sheer volume of workload. The imbalance this created in his life became a toxic norm.
Jason eventually realized the path he was on was not leading to joy, but to burnout and quickly diminishing quality of life. This realization sparked an intense period of study and self-reflection, during which Jason discovered the meta-skills, modalities and strategies that allowed him to escape the trance of busyness and begin a new path. He found a way to thrive and achieving a state of spacious productivity that enabled him to still get it all done but in a truly sustainable way.
Jason often says, "My mess has become my message." His experiences have fueled a mission to share with the world his learnings that have transformed his life so dramatically.
When asked what he does, Jason's answer is simple and clear: "I deliver calm, deliberate, and authentic productivity." His unique approach has earned him the nickname 'The Productivity Whisperer' from US Navy SEALS Commander Mark McGinnis. Having trained executive leadership teams and organizations around the globe, Jason's ultimate goal is to help individuals and teams thrive in their highest priorities while enabling a more spacious, healthy, and high-performing life.
