Smart Phones, Smart Choices: How to Control Technology So It Won’t Control You

Do want to regain control of your e-mail inbox?

Is your work/life balance out of whack?

Would you like to spend more time getting things done and less time checking your phone?

Our smartphones have enriched our lives in many ways. We keep in touch with clients, employees, and family members. We learn about new business opportunities. We track how our companies are on social media. Technology has the power to make great things happen.

But we can also fall prey to some serious dangers. Our risk for having accidents increases substantially when we use our phones while driving—even if we’re using hands-free devices. We miss opportunities to enjoy time with family and friends because of our obsession with our smartphones. And we give our employees reason to leave if we require them to be accessible all the time.

Dr. Bruce Weinstein’s Smart Phones, Smart Choices will show you how to make the most of your smartphone and avoid common traps. Based on current research, this fun, interactive presentation ends with Dr. Weinstein’s Smartphone Pledge that you’re invited to take back to your organization. Dr. Weinstein will even give you the Pledge in a Word document that you can edit to meet the needs and values of your business. Isn’t it time to regain control of your life?

You're at a restaurant, and the service isn't very good. When the bill arrives, you discover that an item you had is not listed. Would you tell the waiter or keep it to yourself?

We often find ourselves asking, "What's the right thing to do in this situation?," but when the stakes are high, our emotions can get in the way of thinking clearly and making the best choices. In this lively, fun and practical session, Dr. Bruce Weinstein, The Ethics Guy, shows you how five simple principles provide a framework for solving the above problems and many others that come your way.

He then presents the five principles of ethical intelligence, and one-on-one exercises show the group how to apply these principles in their daily lives.
