Katie delivered a thought provoking and impactful session on digital wellbeing to a range of pastoral staff at Sherborne School. She also shared 'The Attention Experiment' as a lecture to our 4th year boys.
Her talks give staff and students the right knowledge and tools to explore an ever growing issue amongst young people.
Her content was up to date and expertly executed and those who attended felt more empowered to have good conversations about their digital habits.

"Katie’s sessions at Strode were excellent. The ideas and concepts were clear, engaging and thought-provoking. She set imaginative and active exercises, linking digital wellbeing to the context of the learners’ assignments effortlessly.
The sessions gave students real food for thought and inspired them to be more intentional about their use of digital platforms and social media interactions.
Such a valuable day!"
