Jenna Piché is a Focus and Productivity Expert, professional speaker, and CEO of First Light Time Management Coaching, a consulting firm dedicated to helping high-achieving professionals and teams accomplish more meaningful work without burnout. As the host of The Other Side of Busy podcast and a Full Focus Certified Pro, Jenna has built her reputation on proprietary research solidified by academic studies and insights from leading experts in productivity, neuroscience, and organizational psychology. Her flagship study—a survey of 750+ professionals examining their working habits—revealed the five behaviors that separate the genuinely productive from the perpetually overwhelmed, findings she codified into the CRAFT Framework. Her work sits at the intersection of human performance and organizational design, challenging the conventional wisdom that productivity is about doing more and reframing it as doing what matters most.

What makes Jenna’s methodology unique is that it’s built on evidence, not opinion. Her Productive Few research identified the critical behaviors that allow knowledge workers to feel accomplished rather than just busy—and the systemic barriers organizations create that prevent focus from happening in the first place. She brings this insight to audiences through three signature frameworks: the CRAFT Framework for personal productivity systems, the FOCUS Culture Framework™ for organizational transformation, and her newest keynote Rewrite Time, which explores the neuroscience of procrastination, presence, and the beliefs that quietly shape how we experience time. Her ability to translate complex research into immediately applicable strategies has made her a sought-after speaker for audiences ranging from frontline teams to executive leadership. She is trusted by senior-level professionals who want to create better work environments with their teams—and then actually encourage both their teams and themselves to shut off work after hours and be present in their lives.

When Jenna is not speaking or coaching, she enjoys spending time with her family in southern Wisconsin, where she lives. She’s an avid reader of books on neuroscience, human behavior, and organizational psychology, and she enjoys long conversations over coffee about the intersection of work, meaning, and sustainable performance. Her passion for helping others reclaim their time and attention extends beyond the stage—she believes the most powerful shift isn’t working harder, but working with intention, and that starts with understanding how our brains, our beliefs, and our environments shape what we accomplish each day.
