The psychology of technology

Navigating the world of mobile devices and ubiquitous social media can be a challenge. From online dating to communicating via Slack in the workplace, we all need to be more cognisant of the consequences of our reliance on technology to mediate our relationships. Understanding the psychology of technology in relation to our personal needs is crucial to solving this universal problem.

Psychological wellbeing and excellence in the workplace

Drawing on research from emotional intelligence, mindfulness, positive psychology and clinical psychology, Dr Balick offers direct insights into how leaders, managers, and teams can better work together in psychologically safe and emotionally intelligent workplaces, increasing personal productivity and levels of wellbeing.

Alignment: a different perspective on work/life balance

There is no such thing as a work/life balance. We spend too much time in the workplace to have to wait until we get home to find balance. Rather, we can think about how the workplace as a place for a particular kind of self-expression with a particular aim in mind. By creating emotionally and psychologically attuned practices at work, we can find that work more satisfying, productive, and nourishing.
