“What can I say about Tanya? We couldn’t have asked for a better presenter for a topic like digital detox, which is so relevant to most adults. Tanya is insightful, fun, full of content and makes her points in a very effective and thought-provoking way.
She had her audience’s attention throughout with her easy presenting style and left very practical and achievable tips to improve our wellbeing, as well as pushing across some bigger challenges. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tanya for content/presentations on this topic.”
Managing Director, Standard Chartered Bank
KIND WORDS
Tanya speaks about digital wellbeing and tech-life balance to teams, managers and partners in all types of organisations; from Magic Circle law firms to financial services companies, media businesses and tech start-ups.
"Tanya is a joy to work with. She is an expert in the field of tech-life balance, a subject that is relevant for all employees to be reflecting about in today’s fast-paced connected world. Tanya delivered a session for International Women’s Week that resonated across 20 markets and different job roles. As a client, I found Tanya to be flexible, evidence-based, credible – but most importantly – she made us laugh."
Talent & Diversity Senior Manager, Vodafone

Her ability to command an audience and bring stories to life is second to none. Her talks are engaging and very relevant. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a speaker and am looking forward to future engagements."
Head of Information Security
"The feedback from Tanya’s digital detox keynote at our client dinner has been excellent. It was definitely an enjoyable evening for all who attended. I was asked a few times – “How did you find Tanya? She was so good, she pitched it at just the right level”. Others were sure it was going to be anti-tech and were pleasantly surprised. She really made the evening memorable."
Managing Director, Aon
"We have had fantastic feedback from Tanya’s ‘Digital Wellbeing’ talk, I think she got a lot of people thinking and her presentation style was amazing – natural and engaging.”

"Tanya´s combination of science, research, guidance and advice was clear, accessible, fascinating and entertaining. Feedback from our colleagues has been very positive and many of our teams are now using that advice to improve their work environment and interaction. An hour spent in Tanya´s company was a great investment, and I have no hesitation in recommending her to other companies and organizations.”
Head of Corporate Affairs, Siemens Gamesa
“Tanya spoke at our General Counsel Forum to our senior clients on digital wellbeing. She engaged very effectively with what could potentially have been a cynical or challenging audience and delivered a serious message in a relaxed manner, generating a range of questions and demonstrating her depth of knowledge through Q&As. She was most definitely a hit and I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
Partner, Eversheds Sutherland
“Tanya came to talk to our Global HR Leaders Conference about digital wellbeing. We worked together effectively to tailor some great content which we are now using as the cornerstone of our internal Digital Balance proposition. Tanya’s delivery and knowledge of the subject, and effervescent personality, really helped us gain huge support in our journey to being an organisation with a holistic view on wellbeing.”
Director, Safety and Wellbeing, Vodafone
“Tanya recently spoke at an event for the Royal Society for Public Health on social media and young people’s mental health. She is a great speaker in the digital space, with credibility, long expertise and excellent delivery. She was also really good on a panel answering questions from the audience. I would highly recommend her as a speaker.”
CEO, Royal Society for Public Health
"Tanya gave a superb talk on "digital detoxing" to our virtual partners' conference. The audience is traditionally a sceptical one, to put it mildly. Tanya was excellent. Her delivery was calm, measured and well judged and her content first class. The talk at our virtual networking after the conference was of little else. We have all been doing our best to bear Tanya's advice in mind and to put some of her tips into practice - with, inevitably, varying degrees of success. It can sometimes be a little too glib to give a glowing online recommendation, but I would thoroughly recommend Tanya. Her presentation was thoughtful, practical, well crafted and intelligently made."

BOOKS
Tanya is the author of three books on our complicated relationship with technology:
‘My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open’, ‘Off.’ and ‘Stop Staring at Screens’ are all out now.
My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open
“Highly readable…attainable and realistic ways to reduce technology use and alleviate the burdens it can place on us as individuals and on our relationships.”
OFF: Your Digital Detox for a Better Life
"She presents simple ideas alongside practical suggestions for how to implement them - leaving you inspired and motivated by the end."
Stop Staring at Screens!
"Perhaps the best compliment I can pay this is that as soon as I started reading this, my 13-year-old son started looking over my shoulder, and in short order said, "I want to read this as soon as you're done. And I want to do this."
