About
Charlie Gilkey’s fascination with the philosophy of productivity drove him to create new methods that guide users to not only finish what they start, but finish what matters most. Charlie has spent the last 15 years guiding professional creatives, entrepreneurs, and small business owners to get past what is holding them back. His website, ProductiveFlourishing.com, is one of the top sites for planning and productivity. Along his yellow brick road, Charlie served as an officer in the Army, is a near Ph.D. in philosophy, married his high-school sweetheart, and did basket tosses as a cheerleader. He has written several books, including the highly acclaimed and award-winning Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done, its companion workbook, the Start Finishing Field Guide, and the highly anticipated Team Habits, which will help teams increase their belonging and performance. In 2022, Charlie launched one of his most ambitious and rewarding projects yet: the Momentum app, created to be a productivity coach in your pocket. Charlie is known for being philosophical yet practical, compassionate yet disciplined, creative yet analytical, happy but calm. It’s this merging of two mindsets that make Charlie simultaneously pragmatic and empathetic; a combination that is at the core of his methodology and philosophy on how to become the most productive and peaceful version of ourselves.

Here, 10 members of Young Entrepreneur Council each offer up one step leaders can take to be more inspirational day to day and discuss why developing this trait will benefit you, your team and your company overall.
