Masterclass
Title: Get Good® At Life and Work for Leaders
There is a lot of focus on goals and achievement in business and leadership, and rightly so. However, in this session, we will explore the often-overlooked aspects of life and work that contribute to long-term success and well-being. Think of it as pressing pause on your life and work to reflect and move forward.
Get Good® at Life and Work is a practical, engaging, and thought-provoking masterclass that helps leaders and teams thrive by focusing on the core principles of connection, motivation, productivity, and resilience, based on Lee’s years of experience and popular book Get Good® At Life. If attendees take away just one thing, it will be the understanding that true success in both business and life is built on the power of connection—both personal and professional.
Key Themes Covered:
1. Motivation: Understanding What Drives Us
- What is real motivation, and how do we maintain it?

2. Productivity: Working Smarter, Not Harder

- How to focus better in a world full of distractions.

- Real-life stories of resilience from well-known figures and everyday people.
- How to develop true resilience without relying on common myths and quick fixes.
