Founder and CEO of HARA, a community for entrepreneurs and leaders
Clients include Nike, Microsoft, Nasdaq, Morgan Stanley, and Moderna
Creator of The Productivity Paradox keynote framework

Patrick McAndrew is a productivity and high performance expert who helps professionals and organizations break the cycle of busyness masquerading as progress. As the founder and CEO of HARA, a community built for entrepreneurs and leaders, Patrick has developed a body of practical work around what he calls the "Productivity Paradox" — the widespread tendency to confuse activity with achievement. His approach draws on his background as an entrepreneur and high-performance coach, blending behavioral insight with strategies teams can apply immediately. Patrick works with organizations to help their people reclaim focused attention, manage technology more deliberately, and reconnect their daily actions with broader goals. His sessions address the structural and cultural forces that erode concentration in modern workplaces, equipping individuals with the tools to operate with greater intention and less friction. Clients including Nike, Microsoft, Nasdaq, Morgan Stanley, Moderna, and Cabela's have engaged Patrick for his ability to translate complex ideas about human performance into concrete, measurable behavior change. Audiences leave Patrick's sessions with specific techniques to protect their attention, manage competing demands, and build the kind of self-discipline that supports sustained output. His work is particularly relevant for organizations navigating rapid change, high workloads, or a culture of chronic overcommitment. For groups looking to move from reactive to deliberate, Patrick offers a compelling and practical framework.

Topics, sessions and talks

The Productivity Paradox

Patrick McAndrew challenges the assumption that a packed schedule is a mark of effectiveness. Drawing on his work with leaders across industries, he examines why modern workplaces manufacture distraction and how that erodes both individual output and organizational results. Patrick shares a set of practical techniques for managing technology with intention, protecting focused attention, and realigning daily actions with what actually matters — leaving audiences with a clear framework for reclaiming their performance.

Attention Is Your Most Valuable Asset

The average knowledge worker is interrupted every 11 minutes — and it takes more than 20 minutes to fully recover focus after each disruption. In this session, Patrick McAndrew builds on the science behind attention and distraction to give teams a practical system for protecting their cognitive bandwidth. Audiences leave with specific protocols for structuring their environment, managing digital demands, and building the daily habits that sustain focused work — without requiring a dramatic lifestyle overhaul.

Leading High-Performance Teams: Clarity, Accountability, and the Culture of Execution

High-performing teams don’t happen by accident. They’re the product of specific cultural conditions: clear expectations, genuine accountability, and leaders who model the behaviors they ask of others. Patrick McAndrew draws on his work building HARA and coaching leaders across industries to examine how organizations create — or undermine — the conditions for sustained excellence. This session gives leaders a practical framework for raising performance standards, closing the gap between strategy and execution, and building teams that hold themselves to exceptional results.

Why we recommend booking Patrick

Patrick's direct experience building and running a performance community gives his sessions an operational credibility that resonates with leadership audiences navigating distraction at scale. Ideal for organizations where busyness has become a cultural default.
