42 Twigs

Imagine a hard-charging VP in a global corporation squeezed between life obligations and responsibilities to the company. She puts in long hours from early morning to late evening, including weekends, every week. She is invisible to her bosses and frustrating to her staff. The pressure to get noticed leads to micromanaging. She pushes her team toward the same burn-out she has teetered on for months.

The best course of action to accomplish her goals, galvanize her team, and secure a coveted promotion?

Hit pause.

It seems counterintuitive, but Beata Leszczynska, a recognized flow leadership coach, found the science of non-time is a critical ingredient for high achievement. Beata has worked with dozens of leaders, including VPs, just like the one above.

After only a few weeks, her clients begin setting aside the time to do deep thinking. They learn to identify high-value work and start effectively delegating the rest. Team morale improves. They become proactive, creative, and collaborative. Overtime stops. Weekend shifts are cut. Productivity skyrockets. In a short period, cognitive capacity increases, freeing up time, energy, and bandwidth. Peers praise her, and bosses take notice.

Ask any of these clients about their transformational changes, and they will tell you that Beata is their secret weapon.

42twigs, Beata’s coaching practice, established in 2018, specializes in helping ambitious entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, and other professionals to help them master personal and professional lives.

42twigs helps individual clients find a cadence that works with their biology to achieve their most ambitious goals without burning out. Rather than promoting readymade, one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter curricula on leadership development, Beata provides a bespoke program for individuals and teams alike. “We’ll have a different program emphasis in different situations,” Beata explains. “My objective is to see more leaders and teams employ flow, outperform others, and thrive.”

To individualize this approach, 42twigs creates a High Flow Leadership Lab that pushes clients to experiment with different tools and techniques, learn to introduce them into their lives, and develop them into a lifestyle habit that produces results. Every session introduces a single concept, and the concept is first taught and then applied. “I work with my clients to strategize how to implement each technique. The lab is the first exposure to the flow state and pushing limits,” elaborates Beata. The result is both fun and challenging for the participants, who develop their own customized plan for peak performance and flow throughout these sessions.

Unlike traditional coaching, where outcomes can be ambiguous or self-directed, Beata tracks improvement metrics that provide measurable results. They’ve developed two scorecards designed with high-performance leaders in mind. The first assesses self-sabotage, looking at how clients get in their way and derail their performance. A simple yet impactful formula identifies potential wrong turns or self-imposed setbacks with a measurable score that can improve throughout the program.

The second scorecard looks at performance indicators for how ready an individual or their team is primed to access flow. Through these measures, teams and their leaders can learn impactful strategies for increasing flow, improving performance, enhancing joy, and improving innovation. Being able to review real-time data on the effectiveness of this program gives clients a concrete understanding of how they are improving over time.
