Bibi Hays: The Queen of Imperfect Productivity
Author, professor, podcaster, and all-around powerhouse, Bibi is a walking masterclass in getting things mostly done—with humor, heart, and just the right amount of sparkle. She empowers the overwhelmed and perfection-prone to pursue success with grace and grit (and without the spreadsheet-induced panic).
Whether she’s inspiring college students to land their dream careers, lighting up a stage with her signature sass, or hosting a podcast for real-life humans juggling work, life, and laundry, Bibi keeps it real—and keeps it moving. She’s smart, seasoned, and not afraid to call out burnout as the B.S. badge it is.
Oh, and she’s not just building careers. She’s open to building a love story, too. 💥

In addition to writing and speaking, here are
some other things I love: my family and friends,
seasoned pretzels, a lovely cup of hot tea,
curling up on the couch with a blanket to read
or watch football, and yoga.
I also love my job. I’ve been a public relations
and advertising professor for 26 years. (The
future is in pretty good hands, folks, so please
don’t worry so much.)
Other on-campus adventures include work in
service-learning, career-readiness, and
entrepreneurship education.
Also, I’m a productivity and planning nerd,
always thinking, learning and tinkering with
strategies, schedules, and routines . . .
