New Rules for Work Executive Roundtables
Hosted by Elise Keith, Lucid Teams, and Dr. Carrie Goucher, FewerFasterBolder
Welcome!
You’ve been invited to join one of our closed-door virtual conversations exclusively for executives and senior leaders. Curious about what to expect? See more details below the schedule.
We host two sessions for each topic. All conversations last one hour.
Schedule
Your priorities changed three times this week. Your team is spinning. The old playbook for managing competing demands is broken. Everything lands as "urgent," strategies pivot without warning, and resources shrink while expectations multiply.
The leaders who thrive aren't just better at time management. They've developed new rules for how to think about, communicate, and execute priorities in an environment of constant change.
Join this roundtable to explore:
What's breaking down when traditional prioritization methods hit today's reality
The mindset shift that helps high-performing teams cut through competing demands
The practices emerging from leaders who've cracked this challenge
Practical moves you can test immediately to protect momentum and clarity
1 PM London / 8 AM ET, hosted by Carrie
Noon ET / 9 AM PT, hosted by Elise
September 17: Break Free from Collabureaucracy
Streamline how you meet, decide, and collaborate to deliver your strategy
The biggest barrier to delivering your strategy is not siloes. It’s Collabureaucracy.
Slow decision-making, competing priorities, bottlenecks, back-to-back meetings, overwhelming communication.
We’ve entered an age where collaboration tools promise seamless teamwork across borders, time zones, and languages. But instead of freedom, you’re drowning in a flood of notifications, meeting requests, and endless approvals. The very systems designed to help you have created a new bottleneck—one that’s harder to manage than ever.
We need a fresh philosophy, approach, and toolkit to handle the volume and complexity of collaborative work our strategy demands.
Join this session with Elise Keith (US) or Dr Carrie Goucher (UK/Europe) to explore:
What Collabureaucracy is and its downward pressure on productivity and morale
What you MUST understand about this systems problem before you can start to fix it
The specific signs and symptoms that tell you what is driving your specific Collabureaucracy profile
Practical solutions to make a meaningful improvement to how you meet, collaborate, decide, and deliver your strategy in 2025.
1 PM London / 8 AM ET, hosted by Carrie
Noon ET / 9 AM PT, hosted by Elise
