Testimonials for Cyril Peupion
Whilst I thought I was a good planner and had balance in my day-to-day work, I have dramatically changed the way I manage my time and priorities. Most rewarding is the personal time I have built into my working week that ensures I spend quality time with my family. I have not had to sacrifice my work commitments, but instead have created time to think about what is strategically most important.

Cyril is the author of the best-selling book Work Smarter: Live Better, a Top 10 business book in Australia and a Top 100 business book in Amazon. He is also the founder of Work Smarter: Live Better (WSLB), a highly respected coaching and consulting firm for the Australian and international market.
As well as leading WSLB, Cyril coaches CEO and senior executives, is a regular keynote speaker on 'strategy execution' and 'working smarter', and helps large companies in Australia and around the world to align people with the strategy of their business.
Cyril challenges people's current work habits to dramatically improve not only their own job satisfaction and work-life balance but also their company's performance and bottom line.
Cyril's deep understanding of senior executives and their teams has shown that most people have never been taught to work. We are committed to our jobs but we do not always work effectively. We work hard but not always smart.
Cyril is an entertaining and engaging speaker whose ambition is to change the lives of the people he interacts with. In his hands-on, practical and inspiring sessions, Cyril projects his passion and enthusiasm to his audience, challenging their thinking and creating a mind-shift from what he calls 'reactive manager to proactive leader'.
Trained as an engineer, with Masters degrees in both Engineering and Strategic Management, Cyril has held senior management roles in business and talent development in Europe and Australia. In France, he was the General Manager of EF Co international group EF Education. He was also Director of Sales for British Airways, overseeing corporate and indirect sales for the group.
Cyril moved to Australia in 2001 and in 2006 he began providing efficiency solutions to millions around the world. What began with one-on-one effectiveness coaching for senior executives grew to coaching leadership teams and training small to large groups of individuals.
Cyril and his team deliver highly successful customised efficiency solutions to clients all around the world as well as some of Australia's largest companies, including Westpac Bank, AMP, the Commonwealth Bank, Dexus Property Group and SingTel Optus.
