How to thrive in a rapidly changing world,
full of stimuli and challenges.
ABOUT
Hi, I'm Florence,
leading expert in digital balance, focus and dealing with change, frequent speaker, author and entrepreneur.
I'm passionate about the art of mastering mental well-being and equipping active professionals to conquer the challenges of today and tomorrow. Through my dynamic keynotes and engaging lectures, I aim to ignite inspiration, sparking transformative journeys in resilience, change management, and sustained focus and attention to succeed and get things done.
My mission is to empower individuals with the essential tools to navigate challenging and turbulent times, adapt to constant change, attain more focus and digital balance, and cultivate a harmonious relationship with technology.
For over 20 years, I held various roles in Sales & Marketing within the internet sector.
Simultaneously, I delved into health sciences and was a certified mindfulness trainer for years. Today, I am Managing Partner of the speakers' bureau Speakersbase, which I co-founded amidst the COVID pandemic. Beyond writing books and creating music, speaking and inspiring an audience is my most favourite activity.
Expect my presentations to be a captivating fusion of interactivity and entertainment, grounded in evidence-based insights. With a special emphasis on understanding the workings of the brain and proven methodologies, I am dedicated to guiding you towards a future of empowered and adaptive resilience.
My keynotes are impactful and seamlessly delivered in Dutch, French, and English.

Digital Detox
Let digital media work for you - not the other way around! More and more, we are becoming fused with our smartphones. We feverishly check every news update, answer our emails 24/7, and Instagram our brains out. But by doing so, we don't give our brain a minute of rest. Florence Pérès explains why our digital addiction is lethal for our performance and also makes us restless, frantic, and stressed. A (digital) burnout is not far off.
Based on scientific studies, she has developed a practical and feasible detox plan with which you can drastically reduce your digital behaviour and regain control of your digital life. The result? More relaxed, creative, and efficient work.

Voor het Masterplan Digitalisering van de gemeente Breda gaf Florence ten overstaan van een volle zaal MKB-ondernemers en ambtenaren een keynote over digital detox. Het publiek liep weg met haar verhaal! Wat een ontzettend mooie afsluiting van een serie van 3 sprekers. Haar verhaal sloot volledig aan bij onze wensen en heeft onze verwachting overtroffen. De ongedwongen stijl van haar presentatie doet haar verhaal extra goed overkomen op het publiek, en haar persoonlijke benadering maakt het ontzettend plezierig om met haar samen te werken!
