With the rapid technological advances in the information age, we have seen both the positive and the negative impacts it has had on business, society, politics and the economy. With this also comes the real risk and challenge of ongoing information overload.
We are processing around 5 times more information daily than we did as little as 5 years ago, and although our brains can process a large volume of information, it comes with a cost – we have difficulty separating the trivial from the important, and continuous processing of information depletes our energy levels.

This keynote will highlight the latest developments in neurocognitive psychology to explore the science behind building psychological capacity to lead yourself and others effectively in high pressure environments, by looking at the human attention system and the impact this can have on performance and wellbeing.
