We will turn popular work beliefs on it´s head and challenge the digital always-on cultures, while looking into the new ways of working that makes humans and performance flourish together.

This talk gives you:

A general understanding of the skillset of tomorrow

A mindset to think differently about the most important elements of tomorrows work - and see clearly how they differ from todays “busy-productivity-mindset”

Focus is the New IQ

Personal productivity in the age of distraction

‘Attention is more predictive for success than IQ’ states Nobel prize winner Daniel Kahneman, yet in todays digital distractive work cultures, this truth, seems to drown in notifications it self.

The average employee gets distracted 56 times at work a day, loosing up to 40% of their productivity* due to multitasking and task switching, all while driving stress levels up and mental performance and wellbeing down.

When it comes to bringing out our best thinking, deep, slow, and focused work rituals have all the power - but the urgent and the fast seem to get all the attention and fill our days to the brim. Focus is the new IQ - and one of the most important skills of the decade. It is the foundation for the skills on the rise - as focus is a magnifier for your best thinking and learning.

In this keynote we will look at:

The cost of digital distractions - on productivity, stress and mental wellbeing

How to intentionally design your work days to allow for deep and focused work rhythms that will boost performance, creativity and mental wellbeing

Digital team rhytms - the best of the research from the 4-day work week related to digital habits and strategies

Methods and tools that can be used on an individual or team basis to ensure productivity, progress on meaningful work and greater mental wellbeing
