Cyril Peupion

Speaker, Author, Trainer

If you want a very hands-on and inspiring speech on personal productivity, working smarter rather than harder, how to be in control at work and dramatically impact your work-life balance then Cyril is your guy.

Cyril works with leaders and their teams around the world, in their office, at their desk, challenging and changing their work habits. The feedback from his clients: changing their ways of working completely transform their live. Pushed by his clients Cyril wrote a book ‘Work Smarter: Live Better’ which to his surprise became a best seller in Australia (top 10 business books) and made the top 100 amazon business list worldwide.

Since the launch of the book Cyril has been invited to be the guest speaker at many events around the world. The feedback he gets from these sessions is highly positive as he does not speak from a high-level theoretical point of view, he gives simple and practical ways to change work habits, improve performance and work life balance.

  • We’re rarely taught how to work. 

    Instead, at the beginning of our professional lives, we’re thrown in at the deep end with a computer and a list of responsibilities. Soon, we find ourselves so bogged down in meetings and messages that we barely have time to do our jobs!

    New technologies further allow the insidious encroachment of work into our everyday lives. Unfortunately, this leads to working late and at weekends, upsetting our relationships with family and friends, and even impacting our mental health.

    Cyril Peupion is the author of Work Smarter: Live Better and consults on productivity challenges in the modern workplace. He has developed several key principles to help people manage their work-life balance:

    1. Triage the flood of messages

    2. Prioritise tasks by long-term impact

    3. Create time and space for deep focus 

    Cyril explains how following these principles can help us manage workloads, reduce distractions, and protect our valuable thinking time, which leads to improved work-life balance and overall effectiveness.
