How can making space transform the way we work and live?

Many high-achieving professionals believe that we must continually drive ourselves to work harder to gain the success we desire. But the reality is that we’ve trapped ourselves within this pattern of busyness and overwork.

From her 22 years’ experience in Silicon Valley, award-winning design leader and international speaker, Tutti Taygerly shows listeners how you can design your best professional and personal lives using the design process of research, ideation, and focused action.

Make Space to Lead shares ideas, stories, and experiments from leaders at the top technology companies and startups.

Insights include:

• The Cult of Achievement: how to break the busyness cycle and why accomplishing more won’t bring you the validation you seek.

I first listened to Make Space To Lead while overwhelmed and burned out in my big tech job. Her story really resonated with me, especially the details she shared about her high-achieving upbringing and back-to-back calendar. Her book reminded me that I was not alone in this overwhelm, and her words inspired me to make a lateral move towards a role that was a better fit for my skills. I've revisited her audiobook as I've made more radical career moves, guided by her wise voice. I highly recommend this book, especially for anyone who's feeling like their employer's voice, jargon, and priorities sometimes overpower their own inner knowing.
