Accelerate your career,
defeat digital distraction,
and help others avoid digital burnout
The world has undergone a digital transformation overnight as a result of COVID-19. More than ever, we are experiencing loneliness, anxiety, and Zoom fatigue. Technology is automating routine tasks, and we need to focus in order to perform the deep, creative work that the world needs. But before we can change the world, we have to help ourselves.
Over 9 months, you will learn about the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, coaching, design, and more, helping you better understand the impact of digital technology on human behaviour.
You will also have plenty of opportunities for self-development work within a supportive community to understand and change your own digital habits. You will graduate equipped with the tools, understanding and experience to do your best work and stay resilient, despite the unprecedented conditions we are experiencing.
Transform Your Life
Save yourself from digital burnout and gain back control over your attention and time via personalized coaching and mentorship support
Digital wellbeing is a hot sector. Tech giants including Google, Microsoft, and Apple are rolling out solutions to help users manage screen time and forming advisory boards for ethical tech. There is a rising demand for empathetic and ethical designers, developers, and educators.
Of the 80 percent of organizations which recognize employee well-being is important for their success, only 12 percent are prepared to address this issue. They need leaders with the knowledge, skills, and credentials to navigate the post-COVID-19 reality.
