In a world full of stimuli, distractions and constant pressure, focus has become one of the most valuable skills. But we increasingly lose that very focus. Elke Geraerts shows why that happens and more importantly, how to take it back.
In this powerful keynote, Elke will take you through the psychology behind distraction, stress and overstimulation. We live in a time when we are constantly "on," with full schedules and endless to-do lists. The result? Less productivity, more stress and a loss of true focus.
With her background in psychology and neuroscience, Elke translates these complex insights into concrete and immediately applicable tools. She shows you not only how to work more efficiently, but more importantly how to consciously learn to switch between focus and relaxation.
What makes this keynote unique is that it's not just about doing more in less time, but about being smarter with your energy and attention. By also emphasizing the importance of 'unfocusing', Elke helps individuals
and teams to perform sustainably without overload.
This keynote is ideal for organizations that want to work on productivity, workload and mental health, and help their people regain control of their workday.

Along with my global team, I had the opportunity to attend Elkes session on resilience. It was the best 90 minutes I've had in years! Although it is clearly science-based, her use of metaphors and practical frameworks makes it very accessible, truly fantastic!

Disruptive. That is probably the best word to describe the impact of my first meeting and interaction with Elke. Since I work at a high-tech R&D company (3,500 engineers), this focus on interaction was the first sign of something different. More smiles, too. Of most meetings I attend, I make sure to jot down one impactful sentence. With Elke, I wanted to memorize every sentence. Grounded in science, but applicable in everyday life. As I am developing technology for preventive health and behavior change, getting insights, suggestions and feedback from Elke was an essential step in shaping our program. Needless to say, we invited her to speak at our next client event. You have to experience it for yourself - I highly recommend meeting Elke

Her sessions go far beyond theory: they are insightful, transformative and firmly grounded in neuroscience. Her way of speaking is authentic, engaging and filled with practical applications

Elke is not just another keynote speaker in yet another keynote. She makes her insights actionable and easy to recognize, even for international collaborators. I value authentic people with real emotions and stories and I am very happy that our paths crossed and we all hope for a follow-up.
