Session: Why combine tech with mindfulness?
Our mind is the foundation for anything we achieve, are and can be. The last year has been particularly difficult and many of us struggle mentally. Despite the tech focus, this talk will help building the required mindset for career growth and personal development, mental well-being, and perception of our environment.
With input from psychologists, counsellors, test users and mental health advocates, this talk includes the journey towards building a mindfulness-app. It'll cover all the obstacles, set-backs, findings, and small wins, both from a business and personal perspective.
Furthermore, this talk will allow you to get guidance on how to be more mindful through your senses and how to go beyond your vision. You will leave motivated and inspired, yet calm and empowered.
Bio
Katharina is on a mission to connect purpose-driven businesses and women empowerment with the power of our mind.
Katharina is a traveler, entrepreneur, tuberculosis and earthquake survivor, and dreamer. Originally from Germany, the world is her home and after working and living on 5 different continents, she still gets excited about meeting inspiring people, helping others, getting out of her comfort zone, and taking risks.
She quit her job at Montblanc to go volunteering in Colombia and Namibia, solo-travel, work for United Nations, freelance for various start-ups, and return back to university. You may be surprised that she is only 25 years old, but what brought her here are her passion, her growth mindset, and her willingness to take risks and get uncomfortable. It hasn't always been easy.
Today, she is the founder and CEO of Sensit (mental health start-up) and Power of World Women (global women empowerment network).
