Simple solutions to survive working at home with kids & teens.

The pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have ushered in permanent and significant changes to how we work, whilst simultaneously trying to manage kids’ and teens’ remote learning and fretting about their increased screen time.

This masterclass provides guilt-free advice for working parents struggling with the demands of working remotely and home schooling kids. Dr Kristy helps working parents ditch the guilt, grief and guesswork associated with kids, teens & screens and arms them with simple solutions to manage kids’ screen time during lockdowns... without reverting to banning the iPad, or unplugging the gaming console.

DR KRISTY WILL EXPLORE:
- Why we need to stop FOCUSING on how much SCREEN TIME our ‘screenagers’ are acquiring each day during lockdowns and the most critical BOUNDARIES we can establish instead;
- Realistic, brain-based strategies to support REMOTE LEARNING;
- Simple strategies and tools to help keep kids and teens SAFE whilst ONLINE;
- How to MAXIMISE your (fractured) work schedule, with NEURO-TACTICS and tips to boost FOCUS;
- Healthy DIGITAL HABITS to protect kids’, teens’ and adults’ physical health and mental wellbeing whilst learning and working online.

Attendees will be armed with a comprehensive range of simple solutions so they can work at home with their kids, teens, pets and partners and keep their sanity and stress intact.

Thanks to advances in neuroscience and psychology we know more than ever about the brain and how we can achieve peak-performance. However, we need to map this knowledge to our workdays, especially in a digital context, with distributed teams.

In the Flourishing Remotely presentation I help employees manage their workload with research-based, yet realistic strategies to ensure their productivity is optimised and wellbeing prioritised.

Through this highly practical presentation Dr Kristy provides brain-based solutions so attendees can:
• Apply a four-step system to PLAN their WORKDAY as they work from home, or in a hybrid approach;
• Use key BIOLOGICAL MARKERS to maximise their FOCUS and OUTPUT at prime times of the day;
• BUILD A FORTRESS AROUND their FOCUS to minimise unnecessary DIGITAL DISTRACTIONS; and
• Recognise the importance of DIGITAL DISCONNECTION for peak performance.

Delegates will be armed with a range of pragmatic solutions and a menu of micro-habits so they can work remotely without sacrificing their productivity, mental wellbeing or physical health. This can be a stand alone keynote, or part of a half or full day program.

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. Focus, amongst the alerts and notifications and pings and dings that put a dent in our productivity.

This presentation 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.

I’ve distilled the latest neuroscience, psychology and technology research into bite-sized, science-backed strategies. Through this highly practical presentation attendees will learn:

-Why ATTENTION MANAGEMENT is the super skill of the 21st Century;
-The three reasons why TECHNOLOGY HIJACKS their attention;
-The significant ways that DIGITAL DISTRACTIONS dent their PRODUCTIVITY & WELLBEING;
-How to map their WORKDAY to their CHRONOTYPE to maximise their PRODUCTIVITY; and A range of strategies and micro-habits to OPTIMISE their FOCUS.

Participants will be armed with a menu of strategies and micro-habits they can use to turbocharge their productivity and wellbeing.

This can be a stand alone keynote, or part of a half or full day program. I’ll share simple solutions to some of the common tech troubles facing high-performers in the digitalised workplace.

Raising ‘screenagers’ who throw techno-tantrums when you digitally-disconnect them, or remove their digital appendage is no mean feat. Parents and carers today are feeling confused and concerned about raising their child or teen in the digital landscape.

There’s so much conflicting advice.
This presentation provides parents and caregivers with research-based yet realistic strategies to protect their children and teens’ digital wellbeing and learning as they spend more time online. As a mum, I understand the myroad of digital dilemmas you facehow much screentime is safe? When do I dunk them in the digital stream and give them a phone or console? How do I keep them
safe? Why are they so distracted online?

Through this webinar parents and caregivers will learn:
• A simple formula to determine healthy SCREEN TIME limits for ‘screenagers’ (& permission to lower the bar during home isolation);
• The FIVE essential BOUNDARIES that parents must set with their children and teens to ensure that their time online supports their PHYSICAL HEALTH and MENTAL WELLBEING;
• Why children are infatuated with digital technologies and why they throw TECHNO-TANTRUMS when asked to switch off;
• How the brain LEARNS ONLINE and simple strategies to promote FOCUS and avoid DIGITAL DISTRACTIONS as they learn remotely; and
• Why DIGITAL DISCONNECTION is critical for your child’s PHYSICAL HEALTH & MENTAL WELLBEING.

Parents will be armed with a range of simple, science-backed solutions that doesn’t involve ‘digital amputation’.

This can be a stand alone keynote, or part of a half or full day program. I look forward to helping your organisation or workplace help parents to better understand and manage their screenagers’ digital world

We’re spending more time than tethered to technology- for both work and leisure. It’s imperative that we foster healthy and sustainable digital behaviours to ensure that our physical health and mental wellbeing are supported in a digital world that’s constantly vying for our attention.

In this presentation, Kristy equips attendees with science-backed solutions so they can thrive online.

Through this presentation Dr Kristy provides science-backed solutions so attendees can:
• Assess their DIGITAL WELLBEING according to the FOUR PILLARS OF DIGITAL WELLBEING to identify areas for improvement;
• Apply the FOUR PILLARS of DIGITAL WELLBEING to their work and personal lives;
• Explore a range of MICRO-HABITS they can implement to protect their PHYSICAL HEALTH and MENTAL WELLBEING - their sleep, vision, hearing and musculoskeletal health and ;
• Consider a variety of MICRO-HABITS they can utilise to ensure their ProDUCTIVITY is supported, not stifled through their DIGITAL BEHAVIOURS.

I’ll share some of the common digital dilemmas facing high-performers in the digitalised workplace and arm delegates with a range of micro-habits so they can support their mental wellbeing, physical health and productivity in a digital landscape.
