The Difference Lab

The Difference Lab champions a simple, yet transformative concept: the power of intentional subtraction. Our talks and training inspires teams and individuals to focus on what truly matters, by bravely subtracting what doesn’t. In today’s world, the challenge is real: We’re cramming it all in. We all have too much to do, and not enough time to do it. Overwork and busywork are overtaking essential work. The Difference Lab partners with employers across industries, empowering talent to zero in on what drives real value, by courageously subtracting what doesn’t. We expose those energy-draining and time-consuming obligations that weigh people down, consume capacity and trap talent. Designed as a playbook to enable behavior change, our programs harness the strength of community, and provide actionable tools and strategies to implement intentional subtraction right away. Employees and employers alike benefit from enhanced performance, increased engagement and greater job satisfaction, going from feeling crushed, to crushing it.
