I’ve collaborated with Dr. Gratias on several productivity-related stories, and she’s become one of my favorite expert sources to work with. She asks clarifying questions about the topic ahead of time so that she can come to our conversation already prepared with research, resources, and anecdotes. She really invests the effort to understand the focus and intent of whatever article I’m working on, so that she can share insights and quotes that actually add value to the topic—as opposed to soundbites that I need to wrangle into the article. I couldn’t recommend her more!
