We’re experiencing a human revolution—not a tech revolution

Natalie Nixon, known as the creativity whisperer, helps corporate leaders catalyze creativity’s ROI for more inspired business results. In Move. Think. Rest. she reveals how the best organizations allow the personal and the professional to converge at strategic moments, which often come when we step away from our desks and phones. According to Nixon, it is this MTR framework (pronounced “motor”)—which allows us to make time for strategic thinking, prevent burnout, build leadership resilience and redefine performance for the Imagination Era.

Nixon’s MTR framework (Movement, Thought, and Rest) will change the way you work. And it will do so without demanding that you adhere to a rigid protocol or life-hack the liveliness out of your working hours. When you allow yourself to pause, unabashedly pay attention to your emotions, and allow your intuition to guide you, then you achieve fluency, ease, and even greater productivity. Move. Think. Rest. will help you shift the ways you work and live.
