Sustainable performance starts here.
Lauren Mobertz is a culture strategy firm designing workplaces that make performance a function of wellbeing.
The challenge
Buy-in to productivity myths is shrinking workplace performance and limiting workers from reaching their potential.
Myths
-
Reality: Being busy often masks a lack of prioritization. High-performing teams focus on outcomes, not activity levels.
-
Reality: Constant availability contributes to decision fatigue, lower creativity, and even burnout. True performance requires cycles of focus and recovery, encouraging downtime to stay sharp.
-
Reality: Chronic pressure erodes creativity and collaboration. Teams thrive when psychological safety and stretch goals coexist.
-
Reality: Excessive meetings crowd out time for deep thinking and execution. High-performing teams use intentionally combine synchronous and asynchronous methods to push key work forward.
-
Reality: Performance is the result of workplace design that supports individuals and teams to contribute their best work.

About Lauren
As the daughter of a carpenter and hourly office worker, I grew up in constant awareness of work and its impact on quality of life. Later, starting my career as a freelance writer meant I had a front-row seat into dozens of workplace cultures within Fortune 500’s and nimble SMBs alike. The type of work changed from company to company, but the link between workplace culture and outcomes didn’t. The number of companies I saw prioritizing short-term hustle culture over sustained performance that moved the needle, inspired me to work with companies to find a better path.
I am a Certified Executive Coach and trained organizational development facilitator dedicated to helping organizations and teams sustain performance over time. I work with leaders to foster high-retention, low-burnout cultures, and lead effectively across generational and other differences. A former Fulbright grantee, I bring an MS in organization development from the University of San Francisco, and BA in professional writing from Carnegie Mellon University.
