Focus is the new gold
How to Reduce Stress and Increase Productivity in a Distracted World
More detailed information
How many times were you interrupted today? Emails, pings, meeting alerts. We live constantly connected, but our attention is becoming fragmented. The price: more stress, fewer results, and a mind that never shuts down.
We now know what works for staying healthy and resilient. However, an overstimulated brain rarely gets around to applying it. That's where this keynote makes the difference. No theory for later, but clear insights and simple routines you can implement the same day.
Elke Geraerts shows you how to protect your attention when it matters most and how to consciously defocus to recover. You'll gain the language and tools to manage attention as a scarce resource with your team. Less noise. More peace. More output where it matters.
What you take away
Focus hacks you can start right away.
A simple framework for choosing and monitoring priorities.
Techniques for deep work and micro-recovery throughout the day.
Agreements that help your entire organization to distribute attention intelligently.
Impact
The next workday feels different. Meetings are shorter. Inboxes are clearer. More work is completed, fewer fires are brewing. Teams speak the same language of attention and keep each other sharp without pushing harder.
What if your team thinks sharper tomorrow than it does today?
That's what Elke Geraerts is all about. A doctor of psychology, passionate about behavior and performance, and a speaker who shows without any fuss how to build mental resilience and focus.
She has held academic positions at Harvard University, St. Andrews University, Maastricht University, and Rotterdam University, and was recently a visiting professor at Ghent University's Faculty of Economics and Business.
In 2014, she founded Better Minds, now an international team of around fifty psychologists, coaches, and consultants who help organizations sustainably increase leadership, productivity, and resilience.
As an author, she reached a wide audience with her books "Mental Capital", followed by "The New Mental", "Authentic Intelligence", and "The Mental Reset". Her work has appeared in English, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic.
In 2024 she launched “Focus is the New Gold”, in 2025, together with Marie Loop, “Mental Capital for Youngsters”.
Elke's keynotes are direct, human, and actionable. No buzzwords, just concrete tools you can apply the same day. That's why halls from Buenos Aires to Singapore are packed and why attendees still refer to "that one insight" months later.
