In this workshop Jane will look at the neuroscience and psychology to understand how to truly connect and engage with customers and employees in a digital age exploring: Why we react and respond differently to digitally vs face-to-face communication. How cognitive overload and stress slows down collaboration Ways of building trust in a digital age Thought provoking questions and practical ideas to understand the psychology of tech – human interaction in a digital age.
