PRODUCTIVITY
Research shows that up to 80% of employees’ time is spent on tasks that contribute little or no value to the organization’s overall goals. In addition, a report by the American Institute of Stress highlights that 46% of workplace stress in the U.S. is directly linked to overwhelming workloads, which further diminishes productivity and morale.
In today’s fast-paced business world, productivity remains a critical challenge for organizations at every level, from C-suite executives to frontline employees. The mounting pressure to perform is compounded by ever-increasing competition, creating an urgent need for businesses to adapt quickly in order to stay ahead. To thrive in this dynamic environment, companies must embrace strategies that enhance both efficiency and effectiveness.
At its core, productivity is driven by three key factors: effective time management, employee well-being, and a growth-oriented mindset. When these elements are aligned, organizations experience significant improvements in performance, collaboration, and overall success.
At Ocean’s Consulting, we take a holistic, all-encompassing approach to transform your organization’s operations and empower your teams to reach their full potential. By focusing on these core factors, we help businesses streamline their processes, improve team cohesion, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. If you’re ready to elevate your team’s performance and achieve sustainable success, Ocean’s Consulting is here to guide you every step of the way.
CONSULTING
Adrian, Pervin, and James bring a wealth of experience working with international clients, providing them with invaluable firsthand insight into how cultural differences can significantly impact a company’s morale, collaboration, productivity, and overall efficiency.
Culture influences every aspect of global business—from team dynamics and internal communications to negotiations, presentations, and meetings. At Ocean’s Consulting, we serve as the critical bridge that connects and harmonizes diverse cultural perspectives, ensuring that organizations can navigate these complexities with confidence.
With backgrounds as students, entrepreneurs, and consultants, we’ve had the privilege of observing cultural dynamics in action, gaining a deep understanding of how subtle differences can create significant challenges. Even when teams share a common language, cultural nuances can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunications, and division. The real question is no longer if these cultural missteps will occur, but when—and how quickly we can address them before they impact productivity.
At Ocean’s Consulting, we partner with organizations to proactively address these challenges. By fostering mutual understanding and respect across cultural divides, we help organizations streamline communication, enhance collaboration, and cultivate a more cohesive work environment. Our goal is to ensure maximum efficiency and success, empowering teams to thrive in a globalized business landscape.
COMMUNICATION
Our mission is to empower companies to drive growth through impactful communication workshops and targeted training programs, with a particular focus on consulting and coaching. By enhancing communication skills, we enable teams to collaborate more effectively, navigate challenges with confidence, and achieve sustainable success.
Recognizing the increasing importance of Business English for modern executives operating outside English-speaking countries, we also provide specialized language training as a premium service. These programs are designed to equip professionals with the linguistic skills needed to excel in global business environments.
Our Business English courses are available in two formats:
- Group sessions: Limited to a maximum of four participants, conducted online or in-person, fostering a collaborative yet focused learning environment.
- Private one-on-one sessions: Personalized to meet the unique needs of each participant, offering maximum flexibility and individualized attention.
To ensure the highest quality learning experience, we utilize a curated selection of business and personal development books, alongside diverse supplementary materials. This multifaceted approach not only strengthens language proficiency but also enhances participants’ understanding of business concepts and soft skills.
Please note: All English courses require a minimum one-year commitment to guarantee meaningful progress and measurable results.

The Shift
8 Strategies to Navigate the New Normal
Synopsis
Joanna thought her career was immune to the volatility of post Covid. It wasn’t. Instead, it was turned upside down when she found out one morning that her job in a prestigious New York City Law firm had been made redundant. Like countless millions worldwide, the new reality hit home in unimaginable ways. There were no guarantees, and uncertainty was the only certainty in Joanna’s world.
Joanna’s background hit all the right notes – great schools, excellent grades and climbing the career path set out for her in her firm. However, that didn’t matter anymore because what worked yesterday for Joanna didn’t serve her well in the new world of work. After a bumpy and frustrating phase, Joanna decides to make changes in her personal and professional life. However, change doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, she finds that this is where the real hard work begins.
During her path of self-reflection and discovery, Joanna learns to take control of her decisions, change her attitude, and shift her mindset. She still doesn’t know where the journey will take her, but she’s more upbeat about the possibilities.
HOW THE BOOK CAME ABOUT
It pays to build bridges with people. That’s what we did in 2021. Adrian set up a Book club on Clubhouse, and we got to know each other better over time, albeit living in three different time zones with James in New York, Pervin in London and Adrian in Tokyo.
We created a separate group and had numerous discussions on different topics, and that’s how Joanna/The Shift came to fruition. We had great fun writing this book because we knew the old approach to work was no longer relevant in a post-pandemic world. We believe there’s a Joanna in each of us at different stages of our careers.
We didn’t want to write a self-help book in its truest firm. Instead, we chose a fable and created Joanna and her journey during uncertain times. Get ready for Joanna/The Shift, which comes out early 2023.
