Most professionals find it hard to concentrate in the modern workplace. We’re overloaded with information, distracted by notifications and constantly connected.

The result isn’t just reduced performance, but increased stress, overload and reactivity.

What if unplugging from technology wasn’t simply a means of survival, but a way to do our best work and live a better life?

Drawing on his multi-award-winning book Spacemaker and TEDx talk, Daniel helps audiences rethink their relationship with technology and build healthier rhythms of connection and disconnection.

Participants discover practical, research-informed ways to manage digital distractions, create stronger boundaries and make space to think deeply, focus fully, rest intentionally and invest in what truly matters.
