Is your business starting to feel like a ball and chain?

Despite working long hours, do you finish work worried that you haven't achieved anything?

Do you feel flat, tired, and stressed at the thought of another day like the last one?

The idea of being ‘happy at work’ can be a vague, shapeless thing people like to talk about, but very few people seem to attain.

Feeling overwhelmed and working from a place of panicked pressure appears to be the new normal. There never seems enough hours in a day to get everything done. Much less having time for yourself, or even dreaming about spending time with those you love.

Rushed by the weight of your endless to-do list, it’s easy to finish work each day feeling like you’re not succeeding and you’re never going to get there.

Congratulations, you're human!

You’re not alone in feeling like this, and most importantly, you don’t have to feel this way.

Take off the superhero-business-owner mask and take a deep breath.

Every day brings a chance to reset, start again and work smarter.

I CAN HELP YOU

It's time to reset.
Be present. Be productive.

That's where Take15 comes in.

Imagine achieving your goals and managing your workload with confidence. Starting each day feeling happier and more in control, all of the while boosting your productivity and finishing work on time!

Imagine if you could reset every single day. Did I mention making time for yourself, your loved ones, and finally having a work-life balance that some people dream of.

When you Take15, empowered self-management can start today.

Helen’s coaching and Take 15 has changed the way I leave work. I now feel like I have accomplished so much more.

I am more efficient. I feel like I am accomplishing more.
I have a much better system, but the important change is
that I have more time for myself, and my work day is more organised.

I was sceptical to begin with, but it is THE best professional development
I have done in a long, long time.

Paula Westhead

Setting aside just 15 minutes every morning can put you on a happier,
more fulfilling and productive path.

"Who would’ve thought just 15 mins would be all the time I’d need to transform my day"

Is this program for you?

  • Are you tired of racing the clock and feeling dissatisfied?
  • Do you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day, despite working long hours?
  • Do you put in hours of work without making a dent in your to-do list?
  • Are you falling into the trap of wasting time on social media and other distractions?
  • Do you feel unsupported, like an imposter, doubt yourself, or have started wondering why you started out in the first place?
Let's do this ...

"The Take 15 has given me a greater awareness of my actual 'available' time. 

I had been beating myself up, thinking I wasn't doing enough; but now, I'm not as hard on myself because I can now see that I'm more productive than I was giving myself credit for. 

Last week was a stressful week, I realised, to get through it, I had to give myself space and
I needed to be realistic about my expectations. 

It's only been a week, and I'm feeling so much better."

Paula Hanson

The Take15 Program

Here's what past participants are saying

Helen Ebdon Take15

"I reached out to Helen because I was feeling overwhelmed with work and running my business after coming back from maternity leave with my second child.

Take15 has changed the way I think and literally shaped my daily routine. It’s the most important practices I have in my day.

It gives me a clear indication of how much time I have and what I can realistically get done in a day.

I no longer give myself a hard time when I don't complete my to-do list.

I start my day doing the most important tasks and I feel much less frazzled and overwhelmed. The best part about Take15 is that it's a positive practice and includes space to reflect and express gratitude.

Thank you Helen, Take15 has changed my life!"

Sheree Rubinstein, Founder of One Roof

Helen Ebdon Take15

"Take 15 has been an absolute game-changer for me. It has allowed me to plan out my workday effectively and make the most of my available time. It keeps me on track to work through each task on my list, starting with what is of the highest priority.

At the end of the day, when I look at my Take 15 mind map, I see clear evidence of how productive I have been and how much I have achieved.

It’s like a mental “pat on the back” that leaves me with a sense of accomplishment as I leave the office with a positive, free mind to enjoy my evening.

I have also found that by monitoring daily what is working well in my business and expressing gratitude for three things in my work or personal life keeps me energised and motivated.

Before using Take 15, I was less productive, constantly attending to the latest emails in my inbox as they arrived rather than focusing on what was most important. I was in complete denial about how much time I had and how much I could achieve in a day.

Having used Take 15 for over seven years, I have witnessed my business grow and develop substantially, well beyond my expectations.

I highly recommend Take 15 to everyone to enhance their daily productivity, time management and to maintain a consistent momentum. It is a transformative tool that I plan on never being without!

Larissa Davis - Principal of Lewisham Interiors

Helen Ebdon Take15

"For many years I have struggled to stay consistently productive. I tried to do lists and online planning tools but nothing worked for me.

Then I found the Take 15 program.

I was blown away by the power and simplicity of the program.

I started using it immediately after the first training session and haven't stopped since. Nor will I.

I now get all my critical work done each day and am more productive than I have ever been.

My mind is clearer and my energy levels are up. Plus when I'm with my family I am actually with them, not thinking about work.

For me Take 15 is life changing and it is the only program I have ever been through that I am comfortable saying that about.

In my view if you don't do this program you are saying it's OK for your day to run your life. It must be the other way around you must run your day.

I give Take 15 my highest possible endorsement."

William Siebler - The Marketing Mentor

Helen Ebdon Take15

Before I did the program, I was feeling stressed and I was wasn't getting through my never-ending to-do list.

I now happily take 15 minutes everyday to set myself up for the day and it is seriously life-changing.

I feel so much more productive, efficient, and look forward to continuing to use the program for years to come.

If you are struggling with competing demands in life and in business, I highly recommend Helen's Take15 program as I know it will work."

Sam McFarlane - Sam Says

Helen Ebdon Take15

" I consider myself an organised and structured person, however, at the start of this year, I started feeling more and more overwhelmed as a never ending to-do list began to build up in various aspects of my life, leaving me feeling disheartened and questioning my ability to be a successful business owner. 

It has helped me set up a more functional and productive work day, a hierarchy of priorities and helped switch my focus to how far I have come, rather than how much I still have to achieve.

I am now going home feeling more accomplished, happy to turn my laptop off at 6pm. I leave work at work, and I have my weekends back."

Dr Kate Adler - The Chiro Tree 

Frequently asked questions

Take15 Helen Ebdon

Where is Take15 held?
Take15 is a LIVE online Zoom workshop. Once you've purchased your ticket, I will send you a Take15 starter pack, plus all the Zoom links to connect to the weekly sessions. I will also contact you via email to book your Week 2 and Week 4 30-minute one-on-one individual sessions.

I work for myself because I want freedom—structure just feels like a trap.
I hear this a lot, and I get it. If you’ve had rigid routines forced on you in the past, the ones that didn’t fit or felt like they boxed you in—it’s no wonder the idea of “structure” makes you cringe.

But here’s what I’ve seen time and time again, across all kinds of businesses and personalities: when people commit to just 15 minutes a day with the Take15 approach, something surprising happens. They actually gain more freedom.

It’s not about locking yourself into a strict schedule. It’s about starting your day with a simple plan that puts you in charge. That little bit of structure gives you clarity, focus, and ultimately—more time to do what you love.

Freedom doesn’t come from avoiding structure. It comes from building one that works for you.

I've tried managing my time - nothing seems to work! How will Take15 help me?
When you feel overwhelmed by the demands of your to-do list, it feels like being stuck in a loop. The more tasks pile up, the more stressed you feel. This stress makes it harder to get things done and is a tough cycle to break.

Take15 offers a fresh perspective on managing time and tasks. Instead of trying to fit everything into a rigid schedule, it encourages you to be honest about what you can actually do. In short, it helps you break free from the stress cycle and take control of your time in a way that works for you. One of the best parts? You learn to say "no" when you need to. And not just say it, but really mean it and stick to it.

Take15 helps you focus on what's truly important and doable instead of always trying to please everyone.

I'm constantly interrupted and find it hard to get anything done. Is Take15 for me? 
Take15 is designed for people just like you who struggle with constant interruptions. Take15 doesn't try to eliminate interruptions. Instead, it accepts them as a normal part of your day. By factoring in interruption time, you get a more accurate picture of how much you can realistically accomplish. You're not thrown off course when interruptions happen (and they will) because you've already accounted for them.

Think of it like planning a trip to a city with lots of traffic. Instead of hoping for no red lights, you plan your travel time, knowing there will be stops along the way. This way, you're more likely to arrive on time and with less stress.

So, if I miss a day or two, is it all for nothing?  
Take15's strength lies in its flexibility – if you miss a day, just reset the next day. The more consistently you practice Take15, the more it will become a part of your routine.

You'll experience the benefit of feeling present at work, satisfied at the end of the day, and start the next day with a positive focus. I've helped numerous professionals work smarter, not harder – Take15 can do the same for you.

Is my ticket refundable?
