She had a personal digital break of several months, and it turned out to be life-changing. After this groundbreaking hiatus from technology, speaker Anastasia Dedyukhina started Consciously Digital, a digital well-being consultancy that helps people and organizations develop a healthier relationship with technology. In 2019 Anastasia created Consciously Digital Coach Training program, the first and only program in the world preparing digital wellbeing coaches certified by ICF (International Coach Federation).

See keynotes with Dr. Anastasia DedyukhinaThe talk is based on the latest neuroscience research about the impact of technology and is explained in a clear and simple way with actionable applications. It combines insights from neuroscience, psychology, coaching, ethics, UX design, digital marketing to explain, how our digital habits are formed, and how to rewire the brain to become a more balanced, happier and more motivated person
Audience takeaways:
In this keynote Dr. Anastsia Dedyukhina approaches many questions including: While technology allows us to connect to others in all possible ways, increasingly many people report feeling lonely. Why does it happen? Is social media really about connections? What do they lack that we have in real life? Why children are able to better recognize other people’s emotions after they are deprived of tech for 5 days.
Audience takeaways:
Can the robot take your job? How can we prepare ourselves for upcoming automation of our jobs? Will creative thinking really remain an asset for humans, or will robots challenge it?
We look at what makes someone creative, what is an innovative culture from the neuroscience perspective, and how technology changes this.
Dr. Anastasia Dedyukhina talks about a huge need for diversity in technology and why it’s important not just from ethical but business perspective, using example of various tech products.
It’s not so much about a need for more women (which is also important), but more about a variety of skillsets and life experiences. Tech is playing an ever bigger role in our lives, and so different groups of people should have a say in it, not just one specific category of white male programmers. Qualities like empathy are extremely important when developing technology.
"It provided an impressive information on how the brain deals with all the digital distraction, the dopamine. It was a real eye opener. That we are in way all 'addicted'."
“Amazing. Thank you very much! My natural dopamine generation improved a lot, since I have just returned from a cruise, on which I did not have access to the internet for 3 consecutive days. Best trip ever! ;-)

“Anastasia came a few times for a talk: Neuroscience around Digital Distractions. It was received very well, very insightful and we will hopefully have her come in a few times this year as well.”
Hester van Oene
"Anastasia’s talk cut straight to one of the key challenges facing our digitized society: information overload and how to avoid becoming a statistic. Several of the topics she covered helped consolidate concerns I had and references she provided helped find resolutions. I would recommend Consciously Digital services - they know their stuff"
