THE DIGNIFIED SELF - Mindfulness in the technology age - Home

Pop-ups, video calls, chats and live tickers – with all the notifications on multiple channels, more and more people find it difficult to stay focused.

Home office – all well and good. But didn’t that actually additionally increase our screen time? Especially in a time in which we have already been “always-on” before!?

Is it still possible to actually be digital and always on top of things – and at the same time to stay focused and be careful with ourselves? Especially when things are accelerating every day and when our world is in constant change? – Yes it is.

THE DIGNIFIED SELF® – founded by Mindfulness Author & Digital Expert Lilian Güntsche-Hilgendag– supports individuals and companies in finding this balance of digital wellbeing.

In addition to the advisory services to successfully position organizations in times of digital transformation, the speeches and keynotes of Lilian Güntsche-Hilgendag are primarily about the people, which should in her opinion always be in the center of technology.

Following her credo “Do not forget to be human among all the machines,”  Lilian’s talks are modern and contemporary, conveying tangible impulses, personal stories and word creations, as from “always-on to always-omm” in order to successfully integrate mindfulness and agility into our everyday lives.

Of course, over 15 years of practical experience for international corporations in the field of digitization, as well as profound knowledge in mindfulness, change management and the agile framework SCRUM will be included. The goal is to add the highest possible value.

• “Mrs. Lilian Güntsche-Hilgendag knows how to present all the pitfalls of digital media usage with great humor and charisma in a customized and very realistic manner. Her empathic nature is inviting and captivating. Her talk about „From Always-on to Always-Omm“ was a truly entertaining excursion into the world of mindfulness practice peppered with excellently researched studies. All in all, a successful hour of great input.“ –  Anke Bechstein-Röse (Deutsche Bundesbank – Management & Team Coaching)
• Lilian’s keynote about” mindfulness in digital times“ was a great pleasure to experience. A topic, which is often seen as “esoteric “, was conveyed in a very contemporary and passionate way. The audience was very beautifully involved. Lilian did not force anything on the people, but spoke from her own perspective and experiences, which I really enjoyed! – Martin Bressem (Detox Rebels GmbH – Founder )

She is bringing in her own experiences and knows exactly what she is talking about. She is touched by the topic emotionally and you can feel that she writes and talks from her heart. That’s what is needed, as after all, digitization is a very human topic.“ – Michael Moser (Shanghai.Berlin GmbH – CEO )
