Dr Kristy Goodwin, CSP

About

The average knowledge worker gets just 2 minutes of focused work before a digital distraction pulls them off course. Not because they lack discipline. Because we are running Paleolithic brains in a world where we're processing an estimated 74GB of data per person, per day, and our brains and biology was never designed for it. I am Dr Kristy Goodwin, a neuro-performance scientist, keynote speaker, and executive coach. I help leaders and organisations understand why so many high-achievers are always switched on but rarely powered up, and what to do about it. Here is the core insight behind everything I do: we are running ancients brains in a high-tech, always-on world we were never designed for. The result is what I call the Success Tax, the physical health, mental wellbeing, and relationship costs that ambitious people pay in pursuit of high-performance. It does not have to be this way. When leaders and teams align their habits with their Human Operating System (hOS), the biological blueprint that governs how our brains and bodies actually function, they unlock what I call spacious success. Sustainable high performance, without the tax. I hold a PhD on the impact of digital technologies on human performance and translate neuroscience and behavioural science into practical strategies that finance, legal, pharmaceutical, government, and education organisations can apply immediately. My clients include Apple, Deloitte, EY, Qantas, Chevron, and CommBank. I am a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), recipient of the Australian Professional Speakers Association Breakthrough Speaker of the Year Award, and the author of the award-winning book Dear Digital, We Need to Talk. If you are looking for a keynote speaker or facilitator whose sessions leave people with tools they will still be using six months later, speaking enquiries are handled by Emma Chase at Tier One Management.
