IWD 2024 Kick Off: Reclaiming your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World

Professor Elaine Kasket, Counselling Psychologist, cyberpsychologist, and author of Reboot: Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World will be leading this Keynote Session.
The world of modern technology is full of paradoxes. You need your tech but may feel trapped or controlled by it. You may use your devices in ways that both connect and divide you; that makes you feel both more and less in control; more and less overwhelmed. Occasionally you might attempt a ‘digital detox’: using your phone less, establishing boundaries, and reducing screen time. If you fail to sustain the change for long, you feel frustrated and guilty. That cycle of overuse and detox isn’t the most sustainable way to manage technology in your life. Elaine offers a more nuanced perspective, one that doesn’t demonise tech but that helps you maximise its benefits while minimising its harms, so you can achieve more digital wellness at both work and home. This talk will include several interactive and reflective elements to make it as personal as possible to you.
Womens Hour
Opening this session will be James Coomber, Director and Leadership Coach.
Elevating Women in the workplace – how can men help. During James’ time working in the UK Fire and Rescue Service, James became the go to person when a colleague needed to talk to someone about their experiences. What started as a few close colleagues has spiralled to hundreds (and growing) of emergency service workers (mostly female) from all over the world contacting James to share their experiences and voice their concerns. In this discussion, hear about how these stories have affected James and made him ditch a life in the Fire Service in favour of a career where he actively works to change the culture of our workplaces through effective leadership.
Our Panellists for this session are:
- Felicia Asiedu, Marketing Director, Cvent & invited gentelman
- Martin Fullard, mentor & Mentee from FastForward
- Haley Nicolson, mentor & Mentee from FastForward
