About Us

Our History

Making Minutes was founded in 2001. Since then, we've delivered our productivity/optimal living and presentation skills workshops for companies including Google, Fitbit, Cisco, Expedia, WebEx, Zoom, and more. Williams-Sonoma brought Making Minutes in to create a positive cultural change. We can do the same for you. Learn how to free up an hour a day, which is 6.25 weeks a year!

What We Do

We help people to increase their productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness, while at the same time helping them to achieve a healthy life balance. Our participants walk away with strategies and commitments for becoming happier, healthier and more fulfilled.

We've also delivered virtual and in-person presentation skills workshops for companies including WebEx, Cisco, GoToMeeting, Genentech, and more, to help people leave their audience with a message they won't forget.
