Founder’s Story

Hi, I’m Colin Corby, CEO and Founder of Technology Wellbeing Ltd, and creator of ‘The Digital Detox Coach’. I am a technologist, TEDx speaker, digital wellbeing coach, and endurance athlete. I established ‘The Digital Detox Coach’ in 2018 to help individuals and organisations reclaim time, energy and space for a healthier, more productive and sustainable relationship with technology.

My journey began in the early 1990s. Despite enjoying a great job and being involved in some amazing technology projects, I started to suffer from stress. After inconclusive tests, I decided to get fit again. I remember swimming just a short distance before I felt quite ill and had to stop, with my heart racing and gasping for air. I wanted to give up, but that wasn’t an option, because for me, I had reached a ‘tipping point’.

So, I made time to swim and my level of fitness gradually improved. I was training my heart and body to become much more resilient to stress. By the mid-1990s, training had become an integral part of my identity, leading me to compete in masters swimming and triathlon. I became fascinated by how the mind and body were inextricably connected, and how by training and having the right mindset, so many more things became possible. This inspired me to train for and complete four Ironman triathlons.

It was in researching the psychology and neuroscience behind the mindset of an endurance athlete that led me to develop a fascination with the collision between technology and psychology and the ways in which this relationship is rapidly changing our world, our health, and even the way we think. As a technologist, I always try to stay ahead of today’s technology to image how we can live a healthy and productive life with technology in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

I love to speak, coach, and give workshops on:

• Reclaim Your Focus: Practical Strategies for a Healthier Tech-Life Balance.
• Disconnect to Reconnect: Finding Humanity in the Digital Era.
• How to become a business athlete.
• Is your digital footprint killing the planet?
• The Age Myth: Rethinking What It Means to Grow Older.

Workshops in the US can be arranged through our collaboration with Brightflare Performance Solutions, USA.
