Essentialism: Focus on What Matters Most
Facilitators wear many hats: serving clients, running projects, and guiding sessions with impact—all while balancing personal priorities. With so much on our plates, it’s easy to feel stretched thin, even when we’re surrounded by tools meant to help 🙏
Enter Essentialism: the practice of identifying what’s truly vital and focusing your time, energy, and resources there, while letting go of everything else 🧘♀️
In this Buttermixer with Wouter Smeets and Carlos Cole from Life-Centric Work Lab, you’ll learn how to pause, ask “What matters most right now?”, and navigate your work and life with clarity and intention.
What you’ll take away:
Discover what Essentialism is and why it’s a game-changer for focus.
Identify your core values and highest priorities—your personal compass.
Learn how to eliminate the trivial, achieve flow, and show up with intention.
Whether you’re juggling client demands or looking for a clearer way to lead, this session will help you reclaim focus and create space for what truly matters.
🗓 Join us on December 19th, 5-6pm CET.
Let’s cut through the noise and make room for impact.
See you there 👋
