COMPLEXITY vs. SCALE

COMMUNICATION LINES
TEAM OF 2 · EVERY PAIR = 1 LINE
Every new hire adds more lines to manage: 30 people means 435. Clear systems cut that to 29, one line each. Then AI agents in every team take on the busywork.

Suzy Batiz

Chief Executive and Visionary Officer of ~Pourri

“Come Up for Air is a hybrid of strategic thinking and best practice principles that form the definitive playbook for optimizing team output, alignment, and performance. I have spent my career coaching Fortune 500 executive teams as they redefine their business models. Nick’s unique approach was a powerful complement.”

Keith Ferrazzi
Chairman of Ferrazzi Greenlight; Foreword Author

“In an era when workplace burnout and quiet quitting have become the norm, a new compact is arising between a company and its employees. This new compact requires the company and its leaders to create more productive, efficient, and enjoyable operating strategies and processes. Come Up for Air is the practical manifesto to help companies live up to this new compact to optimize employee satisfaction, retention, and success.”

Chip Conley
Hospitality Entrepreneur and Bestselling Author

“By combining timeless principles with technology best practices, Nick shows readers how to maximize their output at work and that of their entire team. A great membership to reset how to think about and use technology in the workplace.”

Nir Eyal
Bestselling Author of Indistractable and Hooked

“Whether it’s a good or bad economy, the greatest competitive advantage a business owner or CEO could achieve is to master operational efficiency. It can save hours every week and make your entire organization infinitely more productive, and effective—and achieve performance excellence. Come Up for Air is more than a must-read book.”

Jay Abraham
Founder of The Abraham Group

“Come Up for Air is an incredibly comprehensive blueprint for how teams should operate in the modern workplace, filled with practical tips and easily implemented advice. Nick has delivered a master class on how teams can use common digital tools in the most efficient ways possible.”

Cameron Herold
Founder of the COO Alliance and Author of Vivid Vision

“I've spent my life creating a community of Nobel laureates, Olympians, CEOs, celebrities, and scientists—so when it came time to design our system, it had to be flawless and human. That's where Nick Sonnenberg excels. He obsesses over the right technologies and habits that ensured my team was effective and my community was taken care of. That's why, after almost a decade, I still work with him.”

Jon Levy
Behavioral Scientist and New York Times Bestselling Author

“Personally, I was stubborn and thought I did things the right way. Sitting down with Nick and his team, they showed me these little things that compound. Something saves five minutes, another saves ten minutes, and across my organization, we’re suddenly saving hundreds of hours per month.”

Blake Eastman
CEO of The Nonverbal Group

“Thanks to how we now use Asana, we won a bid for a $60 million contract. The client was blown away by our organized and professional process. It has truly transformed our business.”

Marc J. Bodner
CEO of L&R Distributors

“Leverage has been a game-changer for us. Without their advice and support in implementing Slack, the pandemic would have been chaotic.”

Nicole Story
SVP of Marketing & Creative at Pourri

“We probably gave everybody somewhere in the neighborhood of two to three hours of their day back. Just because they’re checking their email less frequently and they’re not living out of their inbox.”

Anthony Crissie
Former COO of LineDrive

“I used to have a three-hour meeting with my assistant each week to keep track of everything in my business. Now, I can get a 10-15 minute update from Asana and I know where everything is at any given time. I can offer assistance, I can prioritize, and I can de-prioritize.”
