“Master Your Focus” Workshop by LaMatu

This session is designed for female professionals interested in getting more control over their focus. Gain deeper awareness into your where your attention goes and practice asking good questions that will help you make healthy choices both in the workplace and your daily life. Modern technology brought us many blessings, but it has an impact on our mental health. As we become more dependent on the use of our devices, we find that dealing with distractions to maintain our focus and concentration is becoming increasingly hard. Our attention spans, the ability to think deeply and maintain focus became victims of the battle for our attention waged by the tech companies and advertising giants.

Join the “Master Your Focus” session led by Monika Matuszewska from LaMatu and gain deeper awareness into your where your attention goes. Practice asking good questions that will help you make healthy choices both in the workplace and your daily life. This session will expose the chasm the data-rich tech industry is creating at the cost of focus- deprived individuals and touch upon current trends such as social media detox.
