I don’t like having all kinds of extra things just laying around taking up space in my physical and emotional spaces.Now, that’s not to say I don’t have all kinds of things floating around in my mind, or that I live a physical minimalist lifestyle, but I do like things to be neatly placed in their spot. The trick with this is that I sometimes become overwhelmed when I feel as though I’m overly cluttered.  And these feelings and preferences are not specific for me, most often, new leaders feel as though their ‘workspace’, in whatever way we are discussing, can feel cluttered, creating spaces where we can get tripped up.So... how can we become uncluttered?Well, I have good news because in this episode, you’ll hear from Lisa Zawrotny, a productivity and accountability coach who will talk about decluttering and how this clarity can lead to stress management, giving new leaders clear mind and body.  Lisa will do this by offering her proven decluttering framework. Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #7 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2023. Lisa’s Episode Links:1.
