Focus is the New Gold
How to Reduce Stress and Increase Productivity in a Distracted World
How many times today have you been distracted from what you really wanted to do? We live in a world of constant connectivity, where distraction lurks around every corner. Our endless to-do lists and packed schedules are a merciless reflection of the chaos in our minds: we are constantly in overdrive, and our focus is completely lost. It’s no wonder that stress and burnout rates are at an all-time high.
Yet, we know more than ever what we need to remain resilient and healthy. However, our overstimulated brains seem unable to process all that knowledge, let alone put it into practice.
Elke Geraerts inspires with her keynote tailored to a generation without attention. She combines powerful insights with practical tools that are immediately applicable. Her goal? To sharpen your focus once again. Not only by making us work more efficiently and attentively, but also – and most importantly – by teaching us how to deliberately unfocus. Are you ready for a mental revolution? Then this keynote is a must-see!
Courageous Leadership
Transform to human-centred leadership
As the work environment changes, so must leadership. The shifts of social and political turbulence, the merging of work and private life and flexible work arrangements are redefining the dynamic between leader and employee to a human-to-human relationship. And that requires timely skills.
As a leader, how can you make the difference in a world where change is the only constant? In this keynote, Elke Geraerts will tell you the ins and outs of human-centred leadership, defined as leading with authenticity, empathy, and adaptability. These traits have for some time been ranked among the most important qualities of great leaders – but they were mostly considered a nice to have. Today, they are required.
With her background in neuroscience, Elke shares insights that can have a huge impact on your self-leadership, your guts, resilience and focus, as well as on how you connect with your team members and embrace (neuro)diversity and establish psychological safety as a solid foundation. Join us on a leadership journey and discover how you dare to lead!
