Using neuroscience to elevate human performance
Workshops
Fortify Your Focus
Don’t let the “pings” and “dings” dent your productivity.
“FQ is the superskill of the 21st Century. It’s more important than our IQ and EQ,” Dr Kristy Goodwin.
Session overview
Attendees will learn how to:
- build a fortress around their focus to stop digital distractions putting a dent in productivity
- optimise FQ (brain-based protocols to bolster attention)
- maximise focus in the digitally-demanding world we now work in
- identify chief distractions
Optimise Your Workday
Brain-based protocols to optimise productivity when working in the office or remotely.
Learn how the brain and body function throughout the day to leverage productivity and wellbeing.
Session overview
Attendees will learn how to:
- identify the three critical biological markers that help boost productivity
- use the science of rest and recovery to bolster performance and wellbeing
- prioritise tasks to maximise peak cognitive abilities
- manage focus, enhance productivity and make hybrid work, WORK
Amplify Your Digital Wellbeing
Explore how digital habits and behaviours are impacting physical health and mental wellbeing.
Learn how technology tethering affects sleep, stress and exhaustion levels, as well as vision, hearing and musculoskeletal health.
Session overview
Attendees will learn how to:
- ensure that wellbeing investments yield greater returns
- optimise mental wellbeing and physical health
- protect basic biological needs
- harness the power and potential of technology, without it eroding wellbeing
Powered-Up Women
Explore how the invisible domestic and digital loads, shouldered by many women, have left them feeling overwhelmed and stressed, both at work and home.
In a 2023 Women’s Agenda data revealed 77% of women said they’d experienced burnout in the past 12 months. The State of Workplace Burnout 2024 report revealed that 42% of women, compared to 30% of men, are experiencing burnout.
Session overview
Attendees will learn how to:
- accelerate gender equality
- leverage the positives of technology to empower each other
- optimise performance in a digitally-intense world using neuroproductivity protocols
- better manage stress and burnout using brain-based solutions
Beat Digital Burnout
Burnout poses significant financial costs and retention risks to organisations.
One of the chief contributing factors to increasing rates of burnout is unsustainable and unhealthy digital habits.
Recent Microsoft research suggests that 62% of employees and 66% of managers in Australia are experiencing burnout while global burnout rates are similar.
Session overview
Attendees will learn how to:
- improve the structure of work days
- use peak-performance pit-stops that are backed by the science underpinning rest
- achieve sustainable high-performance using neuroscience protocols
- Identify and prevent digital burnout
Research confirms that humans experience the ‘forgetting curve’, which suggests we only retain about 20% of new information three days after hearing it.
To combat this and ensure that new learning is embedded within your organisation, Dr Kristy has developed a comprehensive range of workshops that can further embed learning after a keynote, or be used as part of your organisation’s learning programs.
Dr Kristy translates the latest neuroscience, psychology and technology research into practical and simple micro-habits to help individuals and teams to thrive in the digital context.
To embed meaningful learning Dr Kristy can deliver a one-off or a series of workshops, in-per son or online.
Dr Kristy understands that many people toda y are suffering from infobesity and ‘digital dementia’.
“A great educator…engaging and practical.”
“…kept the audience engaged the whole time…backed by data and research…”
“…a huge buzz around the great conversations Kristy led.”
“…fabulous and very well received by the group…”
I'm a neuro-performance scientist who provides brain-based protocols for peak performance in the digital age. I help organisations understand the impact technology is having on employees' mental wellbeing, physical health and productivity.
44% focus-time hijacked 
“Australian knowledge workers could increase their gross value-added contribution by 44 per cent if they minimised distractions and optimised their focus time.”
Australian Financial Review
Embed meaningful learning into your team.
| 600 hours lost annually per Australian knowledge worker | |
| $27,585 per employee cost to Australian businesses each year | |
| 166 hours lost to unproductive work-related chat messages (Slack, Teams etc). | |
| 29% of a worker’s economic worth is lost by businesses through distractions | |
| 146 hours lost per year to social media and shopping | |
| 82 hours lost per year to unproductive work emails | |
| 75 hours lost per year to unproductive work meetings | |
|
Employees who feel obligated to work after-hours also report:
• 2.1 x worse work-related stress • 1.7 x times lower satisfaction with their overall working environment • 2 x greater burnout |
