    Practical Secrets for Peak Performance (without the macho nonsense)
    Amantha Imber's "How I Work" podcast is a goldmine for productivity enthusiasts. The episode featuring Dr. Gabriella Rosen Kellerman on thriving in uncertain times was particularly illuminating. Imber's skillful interviewing unearthed Kellerman's wealth of knowledge on human flourishing in the workplace. I was struck by Kellerman's insights on prospection as a trust-building tool for leaders, and her emphasis on recognition as "almost a vaccine for a crisis of mattering." This podcast consistently delivers practical, actionable advice from top performers. Whether you're a CEO or an aspiring professional, "How I Work" offers a fascinating peek into the habits that drive success. It's become a go-to resource!

    How I Work has quickly become a favorite in my feed! I really believe this podcast has made me a better and more efficient individual. I truly learn something every time I listen!
  • maryrosewenham
    Great podcast with versatile advice
    Amantha’s podcast has been such a wonderful addition to my commute these days. I have read so many productivity books and it’s a welcome change to get the same subject matter through the lens of the mother of a young child. As a working parent I highly value the advice she provides and elicits from her various guests. She interviews CEOs and creative types, authors and office workers, and so the information is relevant to a wide variety of listeners. I just preordered Amantha’s book and can’t wait to receive it!
  • malfoxley

    Transformative Fun
    Fun, upbeat, and even transformative. I love hearing the similarities between successful folks’ approach to life and mine. And I consider the differences. Wouldn’t it be nice to leave a positive impact on the world? I envy Amantha’s success at this!
  • Thanop
    Great content!
    I’ve learned so much about different approaches to take for both my career work and my personal work. Even on episodes that I don’t think will apply to me I manage to learn something. The way Amantha presents everything makes it seem very attainable.

  • Oscar2014
    Super inspiring
    Interesting guests and insightful conversations. I’m learning a lot. Always waiting for a new episode. Thank you very much for your work.
  • R. Weston
    Wonderful show
    I adore this podcast. I’ve only been listening to it for about a week and look forward to it each day on my morning walk. Amantha is an exceptional interviewer and chooses such interesting guests. I’ve learned something new from each episode. There has only been one interview I’ve enjoyed a bit less than the others but I still took so much away from the conversation by listening to how Amantha interacted and responded to her guest that day. Brilliant!
  • frankie podcast fan 776

  • Silveyra flia
