Talks/Workshops
- Sail above the "spill-over effect"
Too often, working parents worry about their children being on digital devices while they are at work. This causes great anxiety and spill-over into the work place. This type of workplace stress can cause reduction in productivity. Through my Theory of Digital Supervision, parents can work, and supervise their children. In this digital age, parenting has to become digitized. Traditional parenting no longer does the whole job! Become a “digitized parent” – learn about Digital Supervision and how it can help protect your children and the entire family.
- The Internet: Are Children In Charge?
Many parents, grandparents, religious leaders, professional allies – are having difficulty with children and youth with their addictions and applications to digital devices. Many children are producing and distributing nudes which becomes a criminal offence in most countries. My Theory of Digital Supervision is key to supervising our children. Once the gateway to the Internet is provided in the home, the responsibilities of parents increase exponentially. A computer, iPad, cell phone, and other digital devices are causing profound challenges for supervision of children. Parents, professionals, adult allies – learn from a computer specialist and network administrator in education. This generation is the most independent generation in the history of the world – we need to catch up.
- Morale in the Workplace - Need improvement?
Employers are constantly trying to determine what can be causing anxiety in their environment. Employees losing sleep, employee conflict, inappropriate Internet access during work, and more. Through Digital Supervision in the workplace and knowledge of conflicts in computer applications, employers can have a happier work environment and happier employees. Knowledge is power. Employers need to have “digitized employer-employee relations”.
- Workplace Production Related To Nutrition
The old adage “you are what you eat” is so true. Too often, workers lack the proper nutrition to be as productive as possible in the workplace. This holds true for employers and supervisors. The many additives in foods and poor food choices can cause fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and more. A holistic approach to management helps to assist employees and employers with their health thereby helping to increase production. The chemical “aspartame” can cause issues with mood, concentration, and the like. Employers having nutrition sessions with employees can help with overall health, morale, and production in the workplace.
