The A-Player’s Guide to Creating a Focus-First Workspace

Ever feel like you're stuck in a fog but still pushing to be productive?

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're just missing context.

In this episode, I unpack the neuroscience-backed strategy that helps high performers get into flow faster without burning out. We’re talking physical cues, brain states, music, clothing, space, and your body’s subtle language.

In this episode, I riff on:

↠ Why your performance is being hijacked by your physical surroundings

↠ What neuroscience says about “context switches” and productivity

↠ How to anchor your environment to signal your brain into work mode

↠ The "Work Like You Work Out" method (and why it changes everything)

↠ The three switches that get your brain to focus instantly: space, clothes, and sound

↠ Why the music you listen to could be your secret performance tool

This episode is for the high performers who want to stop forcing themselves into productivity and start designing it intelligently.

Hi, I’m Amber, the go-to performance coach for enterprise tech sellers looking to ditch mindset trash, streamline their workday, and get more done with less friction. 

I’ve been coaching full-time for over 6 years, and with hundreds of sellers (1000+ sessions and counting!) under my belt. 

I know what it takes to help high performers reach new heights—and still have time to be present with your family + personal life.


I spent years in tech, myself. In roles like Learning & Development, Leadership, Sales Enablement, and System Administration. 


I know what it’s like to manage a mile-long to-do list and the pressure of being a top performer at a rocketship startup. 


I’ve also been where my clients are: overwhelmed, unsure of myself, and thinking everyone around me was naturally more confident and driven. 


But here's the thing—confidence isn’t about being born with it. It’s about having the right mindset and habits to back yourself up. 


That’s where I come in.
