    In this hands-on workshop led by [Dis]Connect Collective co-founder and Assistant Professor of Marketing at the University of Portland Dr. Ashley Hass, you'll learn:

    - The neuroscience that explains why the constant pressure and overexposure to technology sabotages our effectiveness

    - How to identify the warning signs of technostress

    - Best practices for better resilience and wellness for you and your teams

    Walk away with strategies tailored for marketing professionals to reclaim our cognitive edge with simple daily practices proven to build resilience, sharpen decision-making, and enhance the skills needed for leading high-performing teams.
