About our Keynote Speaker

Carlos Arroyo holds a cherished place in Puerto Rico's sports history. Arroyo had a long and decorated basketball career for the national team, most notably helping to lead them to a victory in the 2004 Olympics over the United States. He also defied the odds as a professional, going from an undrafted player to spending nine seasons in the NBA. 

Arroyo first played professionally as a 17-year-old in Puerto Rico and jumped to the U.S. to play collegiately at Florida International University. He is the school's all-time leader in assists and has his jersey retired. 

Arroyo also spent time as a pro in Europe and Israel. In 2009, he led Maccabi Tel Aviv to an Israeli League championship, pacing the league in assists and winning Finals MVP. Three years later, he won a Finals MVP award in the Turkish Super League with Besiktas. 

Off the court, Arroyo has continued to impact his country, serving as general manager of the national team since 2021. He has also dabbled in music, releasing the hit reggaeton single, "Baila Reggaeton."

The Science of Optimizing Productivity and Performance

What You’ll Learn in this Session:

Today’s always-on work culture is full of interruptions. Constant meetings, calls, and emails make it nearly impossible to get important, focused, and creative work accomplished. However, by exploiting our ancient biology, instead of working against it, we can all learn how to manage distractions, find time for our most important work, and stay connected in a balanced way.

By equipping yourself with the most effective and scientifically proven techniques for working smarter when time and resources are limited, you’ll walk away with concrete tools for improving prioritization, decreasing execution time, and increasing focus for yourself and others.

  • Learn the leading research on context-switching and mental clarity
  • The science of digital hygiene and why those with certain digital practices are more prone to end-of-day exhaustion
  • The ideal physical environment for productivity and the science of music as a focus tool
  • Training on Focus Sprints®, a research-backed way of working that helps individuals get more done, in less time, with less energy expended
