Christine Carron is a productivity expert, speaker, and the founder of Goodjelly® where she helps organizations and individuals get their most important creative and innovative work done. Her approach springs from a simple but powerful distinction: There’s a difference between the craft of your work and the craft of getting your work done.
Christine has spent more than thirty years helping people, projects, and teams get their best work done as fast as possible—without sacrificing themselves in the process. She is an entertaining, sense-making speaker who brings clarity, relief, and practical possibilities to her audiences. Her passion has always been the interplay of process, productivity, and creativity.
Christine has worked internationally with organizations including Fidelity, Biogen, Brightcove, Deloitte, and HBO Asia, tackling complex operational challenges—from faltering projects to post-merger integrations. Pairing that experience with a lifelong engagement in the creative and performing arts, Christine developed the Jam Method™, a new productivity approach specifically designed for the challenges—and the possibilities—of getting creative and innovative work done.
Helping people have fun getting things done—no slogging or grinding required.
Helping organizations and individuals who want to make an impact with their work get that work done and out into the world.
As a writer and novelist, my brain works in stories. I pull from my own big-experience moments—dancing tango in Buenos Aires, taking a tightrope walking workshop with Philippe Petit, going to see the Reichstag when it was wrapped by Christo—and from the small but equally potent moments, like when I bit down on a mouthful of what I thought was black sesame seeds but were actually black cumin seeds. (Now that was a moment.)
I also draw from the rich, varied experiences of my clients. The artist who was about to give up on his creative dreams before he found Goodjelly. He now has an agent and is launching his creative career. The team that got a failing project back on track—and had fun in the process. The two business units that came together after a merger, moving from conflict to valuing the strengths each brought to the table.
Years ago at a writing conference, I overheard three attendees talking about how hard it was to be a writer. But none of what they were wrestling with had anything to do with the craft of writing. Their struggles were all productivity and work management related. It struck me in that moment that the creative adventure wouldn’t be so hard if only people knew the craft of getting work done. But I couldn’t find anyone teaching that comprehensively—or in a way that aligned with the creative process. In 2022, I decided to fill that gap and launched Goodjelly.
Leaders and executives are surrounded by productivity norms that glorify “more, faster.” AI has amplified that pressure. But real progress—progress that supports making the impact you want to make—requires more than “more, faster.” It requires operational range: fast and slow, intensity and spaciousness, repeatability and responsiveness.
Without operational range, it’s easy to get trapped in the frenetic spin of “more, faster.” Things get done but that doesn’t guarantee that relevant progress is being made.
In this interactive session, we’ll use visual models to put operational range into perspective, so you have a clearer picture of what it means—and what it doesn’t. You’ll also see how it fits into a bigger map for expanding beyond the “more, faster” mentality so that you can engage for impact: getting your best work done as fast as possible.
Takeaways
We’re surrounded by productivity norms that glorify “more, faster.” What if all that teaches us is how to burn out faster? Sustainable progress is more than a planner, the latest slog-harder fad, or even a full productivity system.
Those kinds of interventions may temporarily boost output, but they’re not sustainable over time as they weren’t designed for you. This session offers a new path, the Jam Method: a proven framework for making progress that adapts to how you think, learn, and create—building a protective bridge between you and the undertow of burnout.
Takeaways
You love what you do but hate the grind of getting it done. That’s the old-school productivity paradigm messing with your progress—forcing you to “be productive” in ways that don’t fit with how you think, work, and create.
What if, like in Argentine tango, progress is a partnership with your work, shaped by the quality of your lead and connection? In this session, you’ll learn the four patterns of making progress that emerge from those two dimensions. You’ll leave with a new perspective on getting work done—one that invites you out of the slog into a dance that’s actually fun to lead.
