In this special bonus episode of Tippie Leads, we take a closer look at the daily battle for your time and how to win it. Drawing from the “CEO of Your Calendar” webinar, Tippie experts Rob Rouwenhorst and Michele Williams share actionable frameworks for navigating the dual nature of time management. Rob breaks down how to say “yes” to your goals by building high-impact habits, while Michele shares the strategic discipline required to say “no” and guard your boundaries. Together, they offer clear, practical guidance on how to move from a reactive schedule to a proactive operating plan.

Perfect for the week ahead, this bonus episode distills key insights from our season-long exploration of personal agency on the Tippie Leads podcast. Tune in to hear a thought-provoking conversation and practical takeaways that can be applied immediately to streamline your days and elevate your productivity, all delivered in an engaging, accessible conversation straight from the University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business.

And finally, we’ll bring it all together with a Final Tip(pie) just for you.
