Keynote by Lena Thompson:
How to Stop Your Emotions From Running & Ruining Your Life
We’ve been taught to believe that how we feel and how we think is shaped by the world around us.
This mindset keeps us trapped in a cycle of reactivity, causing us to constantly react to people, circumstances, and events.
When others fall short of our expectations, we get angry.
When things don’t go as planned, we get frustrated.
When the pressure increases, we lose control.
But it doesn't stop there.
Not only does this reactivity impact our emotions, but it also drains our energy, clouds our judgment, and makes it nearly impossible to make clear decisions under pressure.
This constant state of reactivity impacts every area of our lives - relationships, career, health and sense of purpose.
But what if you could break free?
In this session, I take audiences through a transformative journey of emotional rewiring, where they will learn how to take control of their emotions, rise above reactivity, and cultivate emotional independence to thrive in all areas of their lives.
They will learn:
To identify and break free from destructive emotional patterns
Practical tools to restore their energy & focus
Techniques to clear the mental fog, so they can think clearly and act decisively under pressure
To transform challenging situations into opportunities for growth and strength
This isn’t just about managing emotions, it’s about mastering them so that you can finally stop letting them run and ruin your life.

Wired but Tired: Finding Balance in the Digital Age
Technology is our greatest tool and our biggest energy drain.
It helps us work faster, stay connected and access endless information. But it also keeps us stuck to screens, mentally exhausted, feeling like we’re one notification away from a mini meltdown.
The more we rely on tech to optimise our lives, the harder it becomes to unplug, and between constant pings, overflowing inboxes, and digital distractions, we’re stuck in a cycle of hyper-stimulation and mental fatigue—trapped in a digital hamster wheel that never stops spinning.
So, how do we break free?
How do we use technology without letting it use us?
In this high-impact session, we’ll unpack the science behind digital fatigue, explore the hidden costs of hyperconnectivity, and, most importantly, learn how to break free.
Audiences will walk away with powerful, actionable strategies to reclaim focus, reset their nervous system, and build a healthier relationship with technology—so they can stay focused & energised in a world that never powers down.
They will learn:
- Energy optimisation techniques to sustain focus, avoid crashes and stay engaged throughout the day
- Tools to shift from burnout to consistent high performance
- Practical strategies to manage distraction and mental overload without missing what matters
- Techniques to neutralise stress, boost clarity and avoid mental fatigue
- To stay calm under pressure and move from reactive mode to intentional action
It’s time to ditch the digital drain and take back control. Let’s make tech work for you—not the other way around.
