TWENTY MINUTES IS THE NEW HOUR: The Ambitious Woman's Guide to Doing Less and Achieving More

From the acclaimed author of The Myth of the Nice Girl comes a guide to help women reclaim hours in their day by overcoming the Four 4P’s—People Pleasing, Procrastination, Perfectionism, and Padding. 

Jennifer B. Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of Mattering and Never Enough, calls this “a liberating reframing of time in a culture that equates busyness with worth.” Whether it’s saying yes when you know you don’t have the bandwidth, rewriting an email for the tenth time, or sitting through meetings that go nowhere, these patterns chip away at our hours, leaving less time for what truly matters.

Drawing on Hauser’s decades of executive experience and stories from other successful women, Twenty Minutes is the New Hour shows how to embrace a “twenty-minute mindset” to focus on what matters and feel good about how you’re doing it. You’ll learn important strategies, such as getting an effective meeting done in 20 minutes, streamlining projects that have become overly complex, nailing high-stakes conversations without overthinking, and more.

This program is co-sponsored by LiveGirl. Elm Street Books will be on site for book sales and signing.
