I have worked in the tech industry for over 20 years. In cyber security, in cloud services and in the IT training industry. Working alongside Microsoft Partners and other well-known tech vendors. Moving from sales roles to sales management and business unit leadership roles. I later qualified as a professional trainer -ILM - and have been training and coaching sales and management teams and apprentices in all sizes of businesses from SME to Enterprise. I also mentor social enterprises and NGOs. I am a qualified TEFL teacher and have taught English, Business English and Life Skills in Africa and Asia.
I have seen the changes in decreased focus, less enjoyment, and higher stress levels in the work place and socially, particularly among young people. I now run sessions that help us to be able to resist the pull of being online all the time. Not by use of 'will power' but by 'personal power' Empowering ourselves to make healthier and SMARTER user choices when it comes to devices.
