The Efficiency Trap - Mathias Steffen - Thursday 26th March 2026

Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. Peter Drucker We have more tools, apps and hacks than ever before yet we can still feel the pressure of trying to keep up. It begs the question: does a life lived at maximum speed leave any room for true growth? This talk will explore the anxiety of the modern to-do list and offers a roadmap for how we can slow down to speed up - helping us to build a life where our value isn’t measured by our output. Speaker: Mathias lives in Switzerland and is a stress and resilience coach and a former headmaster. Since discovering Raja Yoga during his travels in India, Mathias has found that by practically applying a spiritual perspective in his life, he has been able to deal with all sorts of people and challenges in a positive way. Mathias coordinates the activities of the Brahma Kumaris Centre in Zurich and is part of the National Coordinators Team in Switzerland.
