If you're a senior leader whose calendar runs you, and you're ready to execute what only you can, you belong in The Productive Leader.

Sound familiar?

You're leading a team. Your calendar is leading you.

“My real work starts at 6pm, after the last meeting finally ends.”
“Anyone can put anything in my calendar, and they do.”
“I set big goals every quarter. By week three, urgent has eaten important again.”
“I sit in meetings I don't need to be in, because I don't know how to leave them.”
“I block focus time. Then I give it away the first time someone asks.”
“I'm the bottleneck, and I don't have time to fix being the bottleneck.”
What you've already tried

You outgrew your operating system when you were promoted.

Every one of these tries to help you do more. None of them answers the real questions: what should you be executing, what should you hand off, and when will it actually get done?

Colour-coded calendars you stopped maintaining by week two
Productivity apps, planners and yet another task manager

Why nothing has stuck

Three execution gaps keep leaders busy but not productive

01

Executing the wrong work

Your week is full of work someone else could do, while the work only you can do waits until evenings. When everything is a priority, nothing gets your best time.

02

Nothing holds it together

Tasks live in your inbox, your notebook, Teams and your head. With no single system and no time set aside to plan, whatever is loudest wins.

03

No protected time to execute

A plan falls apart the moment someone else touches your calendar. Without focus blocks and boundaries that hold, execution gets squeezed into whatever time is left.

What you're really running

Three operating systems, one leader

Your week is three systems running at once. When one of them isn't built, the other two absorb the load, and that load lands on you.

Personal operating system Team operating system Stakeholder operating system The Productive Leader

Personal operating system

How you plan your week, choose what matters, and protect the time to execute it.

Team operating system

How work is handed over, tracked and decided, so your team moves without waiting on you.

Stakeholder operating system

How you manage up, stay aligned with your manager's priorities, and set expectations that hold.

Built on the LEVERAGE Leadership Model

The LEVERAGE ramp up plan

Eight weeks. Eight modules. One output a week. A new module drops every Sunday evening, Sydney time. Each module ends with an artifact you can show your employer, so the progress is visible, not just felt.

Meet your coach

I've spent over a decade inside the systems that make executives function.

Nine years as an Executive Assistant to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and inside a three-time fastest-growing company award winner. Six years as an Executive Performance Coach with senior leaders across corporate, healthcare, government, law, and owner-operated businesses globally.

The Productive Leader isn't theory. It's the system I built and rebuilt across hundreds of senior leaders, grounded in what I learned running systems for people whose time costs thousands per hour.

The planning rhythm

One planning habit, at three scales

Your CEO Hour is where each week's execution gets planned. Monthly and quarterly planning use the same steps at a bigger scale. You'll plan two real quarters with us during the program.

Every week

CEO Hour

Centralise Everything Outstanding

Not just for CEOs. Once a week, you bring everything outstanding into one place and work through it using the TTT method, so you start every week knowing exactly what's next.

Every month

Monthly Planning

Live

Review your numbers, choose next month's three priorities, and block the time for them before you leave the call.

Every quarter

Quarterly Planning

Live, twice in the program

Set quarterly outcomes, break them into monthly milestones, and map your ideal week across the whole quarter.

Your six months

Build it before the break. Run it in the new year.

Bethany has completely changed the way I work. I have never felt so in control for such a long period of time. I know what to prioritise and when.

I've introduced two blocks of free time for my team to ask questions rather than disrupting my day. It has helped so much. I can finally protect my focus.
Brian Connor

The insights have been amazing and so practical. I'll be sharing this with my manager. I think she'll benefit from this too.

Start

Your first LEVERAGE module drops on Sunday evening, 25 October, Sydney time. Then it's one output a week.

This is for you if…

You lead people or projects and spend most of your week in meetings
You want a system that runs your execution, not another productivity tip
You can commit 1.5 hours a week, including the modules and the work
You can have a conversation with your manager about their top priorities
You use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, or can adapt the principles

This isn't for you if…

You want a course to watch rather than a system to use
You're not willing to decline, shorten, or hand off a single meeting
You're looking for a quick hack rather than a rhythm you'll keep
You want private 1:1 time with me. This is a group program, with no private sessions.
You're not alone in this

The mistakes I see capable leaders make

You got promoted for doing great work. Nobody handed you the system for leading, so you've been running a leader's role on an individual contributor's operating system.

Adding another app

A new tool feels like progress, but tools don't fix a system problem. Within weeks, work is back in five places.

Blocking time without backing

Focus blocks collapse when they aren't tied to your manager's priorities and protected by boundaries your team understands.

Doing it because it's faster

Holding onto work because delegating feels slower keeps you the bottleneck, and keeps the real work waiting until evening.

What you'll have at the end of the ramp up

A startup and shutdown routine running most workdays
Everything in one task manager, with your top three chosen daily
At least one handover underway
Two meetings killed or optimised
Your ideal week booked, with leverage blocks protected
Your next quarter planned, with the next one booked
Bethany Kumsuz, executive performance consultant
In 2027

Picture a Monday morning…

Your CEO Hour already planned the week, so there's nothing to untangle.

Your top three priorities already have time blocked for them. Nobody booked over your focus time, because your team knows the rules.

The work you used to hold onto is with your team, and it's coming back done.

And when the quarter ends, you'll look at your plan and see that you actually did it.

Questions, answered

My calendar is already full. How can I fit this in?

Commit 1.5 hours a week, including the module and the work. The doing happens in your real calendar and task list, so it replaces work you'd be doing anyway.

What if I fall behind?

Modules and worksheets are yours to keep, and every call is recorded. Jump straight to the current week's output: each one stands on its own.

When does it start?

Your first module drops on Sunday 25 October 2026. The program includes six months of support, with a break over summer.

What time zone is it run in?

Modules drop on Sunday evening, Sydney time. The fortnightly live calls, the Monthly Workshop and the Monthly Planning Session, run in the morning Sydney time, which is the evening before in the US. All calls are recorded.

Is CEO Hour only for CEOs?

No. CEO stands for Centralise Everything Outstanding. It's a weekly hour for any leader to bring everything outstanding into one place and work through it using the TTT method.

Will I get private time with you?

No. This is a group program, so there are no private 1:1 sessions. You'll get support through the live calls, the weekly check-ins and your cohort.

Will I need to involve my manager?

Briefly. Module 4, Elevate your role, asks you to confirm your manager's top priorities, so you'll need one conversation with them to complete it.

What will I have to show my employer?

Every module ends with an artifact, like your delegation plan, your meeting audit or your quarterly plan, that you can share to show the progress you've made.

Do I have to have an accountability partner?

No. Partners are opt-in only. If you'd like one, we'll pair you with another leader for a 15-minute weekly check-in.

What if I can't delegate yet?

A planned handover counts. Module 5, Release what's not yours, helps you plan your first handovers in phases, even if your team isn't ready today.

I have ADHD. Will this work for me?

Particularly well. The whole method takes the load out of your head and into a system you can trust, and each week asks for just one output.

What's the refund policy?

If you've made a genuine effort throughout the program and still feel unsatisfied, a full refund can be issued.

What happens after the six months?

You're welcome to re-enrol in a future cohort to keep your momentum going and take your system further.

Can my company pay?

Yes. We've had many teams take this program. Please email bethany@suitetwo.com.au.

Your 2027 starts on 25 October.

Work through the LEVERAGE ramp up plan before the break, so you walk into the new year with your routines, calendar and Q1 plan ready. Early bird ends 13 October.
