About Juliet Landau-Pope PCC

Becoming a procrastination pro

Despite the unfinished doctorate, I embarked on an academic career, first as a politics lecturer at Queen Mary & Westfield College (London University), and then at The Open University where I taught social sciences and study skills for 14 years.

During that period, I met countless students struggling with deadlines and distractions. I also witnessed the stressful impact of procrastination among colleagues.

To understand not only why people get stuck but how to help them move forward I trained as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach at the Coaches Training Institute. And inspired by this, I founded my coaching practice, JLP Coach in 2008.

Talking about productivity and procrastination

To deepen my understanding of motivation, I studied sports psychology and took courses on ADHD and chronic disorganisation. I also launched a declutter coaching service to help people who felt ‘stuck’ due to surplus stuff in their home or workplace. Procrastination became my professional niche.

Over the years, I continued to write about productivity, and to speak to audiences of all sizes, from student groups to international conferences. I’ve led workshops in boardrooms, classrooms, conference halls and even a luxury spa! Nowadays I also work online with individuals and organisations worldwide.

Books, writing and media

I’ve always loved exploring ideas, finding connections across different fields of study and cultures, and finding ways to share insights through writing and conversation.

I’m the author of two books: Being More Productive (2017) and Clearing Your Clutter (2018). And I’m currently writing a book on life skills for teenagers.

In addition, I write articles and contribute to a wide range of podcasts and media, including: The Times, The Guardian, Newsweek, Psychologies, Stylist, Reader’s Digest and Good Housekeeping. Check out some recent media features here.

Supporting professionals and small businesses

As a self-employed professional, I understand the challenges of running a small business: wearing many hats, learning new skills, and working on the business as well as in the business.

Alongside coaching entrepreneurs and professionals, I’m proud to support the professional organising sector. As Board Member and Head of Training for the Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers (APDO), I wrote and led the first UK business development courses for professional organisers. And during lockdown, I set up the Academy of Virtual Organisers to train and support professional organisers as they pivoted their services online.

My work with small business communities has been recognised through Theo Paphitis’ Small Business Sunday award and as a finalist for the Work Avenue Business Brand of the Year award.
