Lead teams, clients, and communities through digital burnout, distraction, and AI disruption
The world has undergone a digital transformation overnight as a result of COVID-19. More than ever, we are experiencing loneliness, anxiety, and Zoom fatigue. Technology is automating routine tasks, and we need to focus in order to perform the deep, creative work that the world needs. But before we can change the world, we have to help ourselves.
Over 9 months, you will learn about the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, coaching, design, and more, helping you better understand the impact of digital technology on human behaviour.
You will also have plenty of opportunities for self-development work within a supportive community to understand and change your own digital habits. You will graduate equipped with the tools, understanding and experience to do your best work and stay resilient, despite the unprecedented conditions we are experiencing.
Transform Your Life
Save yourself from digital burnout and gain back control over your attention and time via personalized coaching and mentorship support
Digital wellbeing is a hot sector. Tech giants including Google, Microsoft, and Apple are rolling out solutions to help users manage screen time and forming advisory boards for ethical tech. There is a rising demand for empathetic and ethical designers, developers, and educators.
Of the 80 percent of organizations which recognize employee well-being is important for their success, only 12 percent are prepared to address this issue. They need leaders with the knowledge, skills, and credentials to navigate the post-COVID-19 reality.
Consciously Digital Institute Certification gives you all the skills you need to grow your existing business or start a new career in the fast-growing digital wellbeing sector.
Accelerate your career or start a new business in digital wellbeing with full support. Stay relevant in the AI age
Level Up
Consciously Digital Institute coaches are community leaders passionate about helping people take back control over their lives. They advocate for a more human approach to technology development and use.
In the course, you will learn how to recognise signs of technology fatigue, so you can help your clients and colleagues regain control of their time, energy and attention. The course will hone your leadership skills and empathy so you can serve your communities, colleagues and your clients in the most human way in an increasingly digital world.
The capstone project will provide you with an opportunity to come up with a digital wellbeing workshop or product and get feedback from seasoned digital wellbeing professionals.
Help your clients, colleagues or children regain control of their time, energy and attention, as more things around us are getting automated
Lead
The World is Distracted. Burned Out. Disconnected.
6 hours 38 minutes
This is how much time daily we spend on our screens. For children and teens it's even higher - 7.5 hours.
That's between 22 to 25 years of your life spent on screens
76% burnout rate
This is how many employees experience burnout at least some time.
Burnout now is number 1 threat to team performance and talent retention.
60% jobs will be replaced
AI is replacing jobs and tasks faster than people can adapt.
With people using AI coach bots for support and rating them more empathetic than humans, 6 in 10 coaches are afraid to be obsolete.
"Disconnect and distraction is the new epidemic. But it's not just a tech issue — it's a leadership crisis."
This Is Not a Trend. It's a Survival Skill.
Digital Wellbeing = Future-Proof Leadership
While others are scrambling to "keep up" with AI and change fatigue, our alumni are leading confidently — backed by neuroscience, ethics, strong international community and real tools that work.
