My corporate research is loud and clear: organizations have a hidden capacity problem.
Teams are overloaded with meetings, interruptions, reactive work, and operational friction that silently drain execution, focus, and profitability. That is time poverty. And it is costing organizations far more than they realize.
Through my Performance by Design framework, I help organizations eliminate low-value work, find capacity and restore strategic focus.

Hi I am Peggy — a busyness addict in recovery.
I used to wear my packed schedule like a badge of honor—until the always-on lifestyle pulled me in every direction but the one I wanted. My work declined, my health suffered, and my relationships unraveled. I ignored countless wake-up calls—destroying my marriage, totaling my car, even mistaking cat food for pistachios—until burnout finally landed me in the hospital with cardiac arrest.
Now, with 25+ years of corporate experience with brands like BCBS, USA Today, United Healthcare, and Materion, I help leaders and teams break free from the culture of busyness.
As a keynote speaker, researcher, and expert, I show how hustle culture isn’t just wrecking our well-being—it’s limiting what we can truly achieve.

Recover Hidden Capacity …
None of us need more activity. We need better alignment between time, focus, and strategic priorities. That’s where I help.
For more than 20 years, I have coached leaders on how to escape the cycle of constant reaction, and instead building systems that support sustainable high performance.
If you are looking to eliminate the hidden drag inside your organization so your team can execute with greater clarity, speed, and measurable output — without adding headcount — send me a message. I’ll help you identify where your hidden capacity is being lost.
