Summary

Adrienne looks back to a conversation she had last year with the fabulous Emily M Austen.

Emily M Austen is the founder and CEO of EMERGE, an award winning PR Agency, based in London, working with global brands, including Huel, Red Bull, Spanx, and Abercrombie. The 25 strong team was started by Emily in 2012, at the age of 22, after she graduated from Manchester University with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Law.

Her new book SMARTER is out on November 7th and can be preordered now. In it Emily reframes the idea of over-productivity equalling success, and will ultimately show that those who work smarter, are those who achieve more long-term success. Featuring 10 achievable steps, and the experience of successful entrepreneur, E.M Austen, SMARTER will show you how to reframe previous systems that your brain predicts, switch your mindset from one of scarcity to one of abundance, join the 8am club, conduct a busyness detox, define what success means to you, track your energy not your time, identify and set healthy boundaries, time block, habit pair and switch to mono tasking, and so much more.
