We are entrepreneurs, business strategists, coaches, meditators, artists, creators, and productivity champions.
As hosts and facilitators, we each bring a unique personality and experience to our session. We all have struggled with overwhelm, distractions, lack of clarity, and avoidance when it comes to getting things done. The Productivity Space process has transformed the way we work and we are all successfully using work sprints to make progress on our most important projects.

GAIL BARAL
Founder, CEO, Host
Gail is a student of life, human nature, and spirituality. Her four-decade career in fashion, music, interiors, gourmet foods, tea, and coaching reflects her eye for design, head for business, and heart for helping others.
A vision for The Productivity Space came to Gail during the pandemic when everyone seemed to be challenged by relentless distractions that were killing their productivity. Inspired by her personal success working in sprints with periodic restorative breaks, Gail envisioned a virtual workspace that would offer the optimal environment for attendees to tune everything out so they can tune in and make tangible progress on projects that really matter to them, all while tapping into the contagious, empowering energy of the group experience.
"Since I became a coach to entrepreneurs, my mission has been to help people be aware of their mindset and to use the tools I share to start, manage, and grow their business. The Productivity Space addresses the most challenging mental and physical aspects of creating success; overwhelm, lack of clarity and focus, avoidance, and accountability."
Gail brings her razor-sharp intuition, calm energy (fueled by her morning jasmine tea latte), and passion for neuroscience and mindfulness to the Productivity Space Work Sprint Sessions that she hosts.
On a personal note, Gail has been practicing meditation since the age of sixteen and Qi Gong for over 12 years. She lives in Malibu, CA where she stops work every day to enjoy the sunset.
