The power of digital detox
It's not unusual for technology to leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and struggling to stay focussed. We often feel the need to be always connected, always busy and never seem to have time for the important things like relationships, careers, or even our own health.
But it doesn't have to be this way

Digital Wellbeing - Half day program
High performance teams require their managers and professionals to be able to perform at their best, consistently, healthily and sustainably. To do this they need the information, understanding and tools to balance their work with their needs as biological and social beings. Getting this right can improve productivity, creativity, teamwork and create resilience to stress and burnout.
But we have to live and work with technology which brings enormous advantages and possibilities, but it also poses many significant personal and organisational challenges. It’s no surprise that many people struggle to strike a sustainable balance between their online and offline lives, leading to a range of complex issues, such as
• Reduced ability to focus, be creative and productive and are more easily distracted.
• Having no time for essential self-care leading to poorer health and well-being outcomes.
• Feeling less connection with colleagues and other people even though fully connected online.
• Overusing digital devices leading to the buildup of stress, anxiety, and even burnout.This half day program helps employees and managers develop the essential skills to more effectively manage their focus and attention, be more productive and present with the people around them.

Digital Distraction & Productivity
Would you like to win back an extra 30 minutes a day?
Dive into the strange world of why we love to be distracted, how the environment and digital habits trigger our behaviour, why being busy is not the same as being productive and how attention management allows you to get more done and with less stress.
We live in a world where we have constant access to technology 24/7 and the boundaries between work and our personal lives have become blurred. Multiple apps compete for our attention, and algorithms and AI try to anticipate, personalise and influence the choices that we make. Therefore it's no surprise that the cost of so many distractions is the build up of stress and the feelings of constantly being busy.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.This workshop is ideal for organisations with remote and hybrid employees.
In this workshop participants will be provided with information and insights, and easy to implement practical strategies to improve focus & productivity, and to reduce the cumulative build up of stress.

The pandemic has increased the levels of anxiety, stress and work-related burnout risks worldwide. The more digitally transformed the workplace becomes, the higher the risk of burnouts. While digital transformation at work has many benefits and makes it possible for employees to work remotely and more efficiently, it creates business challenges that impact employee’s productivity, creativity and morale.
Colin Corby is co-author of the international paper ‘Why a healthy digital culture matters’. He brings his wealth of experience in technology and digital wellbeing to help organisations create a healthier and more successful digital culture.

20/06/22University Stress!
The pandemic has brought about an era of social distancing, remote work for employees and an online educational system for students. Being an undergraduate student myself at that time, I had first-hand experience of this transition to the ‘new normal’. While the final year of an academic degree comes with its own challenges, the university and students became part of an experiment to determine the survival of the ‘adaptable’. The isolation and mental stress brought about during these troubled times, truly tested one’s abilities to manage time effectively, prioritize responsibilities, and preserve one’s mental health as well as manage the risk of burnout. This article, based on my own experiences, explores the additional burden digital media exerts on students, the pros, and the cons of such technology and how to develop a more mindful and healthy relationship with your digital devices.

31/08/24Supporting the health of the planet
Eleven miles is an incredibly long way to swim, and six and a half hours is an awfully long time to be in a lake, but Colin Corby completed one of his biggest endurance challenges so far and swam in the Aquasphere Chillswim Windermere 11 miles end-to-end 2024.
It was much tougher, physically and psychologically, than he had imagined, and he had to call on some very deep reserves to get to the finish line.
The really good news is that with many generous donations, he raised enough money to plant 300 saplings as part of the National Trust ‘Plant 20 million trees by 2030’ appeal.
