Let's talk about balancing getting things done with well-being

I give interviews, workshops and keynotes about embracing the pros and managing the cons of productivity pressure!

Watch the video above to experience my speaking style and to learn about productivity pressure.

Our cultural view is built on idioms like:

“enjoying the fruits of your labor” & “no pain, no gain”

that imply

the more time and effort

you put into getting things done

- the larger rewards you will receive.

However, that just isn’t the case. 

Why? Because crossing more things off your to-do list doesn’t equal happiness.

When your focus is always on getting things done, it is easy for your well-being to suffer.

Hi! I'm Dr. Ada.

Dr. Ada Y. Barlatt, Ph.D.

Would your audience like to know how to use gratitude and mindfulness to boost happiness and productivity?

If so, I'm the speaker for you!


I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the demands of work, family, friends, and everything in between. 


I’ve been there myself, as an entrepreneur, professor, data scientist, consultant, wife, friend, sister, daughter and mother. 


I’ve enjoyed many successes and faced many challenges and along the way!


More importantly, I’ve learned valuable lessons about how to manage the constant force encouraging us to keep working on tasks and crossing things off our lists. (I call that force productivity pressure).


My on-going journey to balance getting things done with my well-being is what inspired me to create the Happy Mindset app. Happy Mindset app helps you manage productivity pressure so that it doesn't become a problem.


The game inside the app helps you practice gratitude and mindfulness every day. It’s based on scientific research and personal experience, and it’s designed to be fun and fast to use. 


If your audience would benefit from learning more about productivity pressure, its pros, its cons and how to manage it using gratitude and mindfulness, then look no further! 


I’ll be thrilled to be a speaker at your virtual or in-person event.


I’m ready to make your event a memorable one. Contact me today and let’s make it happen!
