How to create long-lasting habits with Think Productive

Applying Gretchen Rubin’s “Four Tendencies” to your world of work will not only transform your understanding of what motivates you and your colleagues but will also open up a whole new toolbox for how to communicate with stakeholders and customers at every level.

During this video, Hayley explores each tendency's pros and cons and helps you identify which tendency applies to you and those around you.

With this knowledge, you’ll be equipped to tailor your communications and interactions with your colleagues (trust us, they will no longer ignore you!) and wider groups and stakeholders outside your own “tendency bubble”.
