Dear Digital... We need to talk
Are you on the verge of declaring email bankruptcy? Suffering from constant Zoom-gloom, Teams-tiredness??? Are
your tech habits leaving you feeling stressed, distracted and exhausted? You’re not alone.
Rates of burnout are steadily on the rise. Why? Our tech habits are completely incongruent with how our brains and
bodies are designed... our Human Operating System (hOS).
This keynote will help you to dominate your digital distractions and stop screens from adding to your stress.
Learn brain-based strategies to tame your toxic tech-habits and thrive in the digital world.
Digital Wellbeing
Have you experienced digital eye strain or ‘tech-neck’? Do you su er from ‘digital dementia’? Do you have a condition called ‘email apnoea’?
Technology has its tentacles in all parts of our lives today. It’s integral to our professional and personal lives. However, our digital habits are having a profound impact on our physical health and mental wellbeing.
This presentation equips participants with science-backed solutions they can embed to optimise their wellbeing in the digital landscape, without suggesting that you revert to a #digitaldetox, cancel your Net ix subscription, or aim for ‘inbox zero’ (all of which are outdated and unrealistic strategies).

Recent Microsoft research suggests that 62% of employees and 66% of managers in Australia are experiencing burnout. Global burnout rates are similar. Burnout, speci cally digital burnout, is the chief threat to hybrid work. One of the chief contributing factors to burnout is unsustainable and unhealthy digital habits.
Digital burnout not only compromises employees’ physical and mental health and performance, but poses signi cant nancial costs and retention risks to organisations too.
This keynote arms delegates with science-backed solutions to counteract the always-on, distracted, digital culture that has led to many knowledge workers experiencing digital burnout. Delegates will understand how our digital habits are fuelling our stress, why rest is vital for our performance and the micro-habits that employees can embed into their workdays and the digital cultures that can counteract digital burnout.

Hybrid working is here to stay. This keynote will provide you with a brain-based blueprint to make hybrid work, work.
Dr Kristy will outline the neuroscience and psychology about how to optimise our workdays for peak-performance in a hybrid world. Kristy shares brain-based insights and strategies to help you and your team build productive work arrangements. Learn how to create ways of working that work with our brains and bodies (our neurobiology) , to yield the bene ts for both employees and organisations.
In this keynote Dr Kristy helps employees and leaders better manage their digital workload with brain-based, yet realistic strategies to ensure their productivity is optimised and wellbeing prioritised in a hybrid setting.
Read lessWhat’s Your FQ?
As knowledge workers, the technologies that are integral for our work, have also been designed to hijack and hold our attention. We’re now living in an attention economy. To achieve peak-performance in the digital landscape, the most critical skill we can cultivate is focus. In fact, our FQ (focus quotient) is THE superskill of the 21st Century- a skill that’s more important than our IQ and EQ.
However, our focus is under threat, amongst the alerts and noti cations and constant pings and dings that now permeate our days and put a dent in our productivity.
This keynote has been designed to help employees and executives better understand the impact of digital distractions on their productivity and wellbeing. Attendees will develop a repertoire of strategies and micro-habits they can easily apply to their workday and personal lives to ensure their digital behaviours support peak-performance.
In this keynote I’ve distilled the latest neuroscience, psychology and technology research into bite-sized, science-backed strategies.
