With absenteeism growing and lowered job satisfaction scores across the country, do we need a radical new way of providing mental health services to our employees? Can we, as managers, reverse the damage our multi-tasking demanding world is inflicting on employees? Tod Maffin thinks so.

Once the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar technology firm, Tod’s workload and always-on personality finally caught up with him and over the following years, he was crippled by a devastating depression and addiction — all the while struggling to appear to be productive to employers and colleagues, and happy and healthy to his friends and family.

In this provocative SuperSession, Tod will reveal how this always-connected landscape has seduced all of us into endless multitasking and infinite email — all the while pretending that this increasing workload is the best thing for “productivity”. In fact, this hyper-connected economy may be both destroying the productivity of workplaces and eroding the mental health of companies’ most valuable asset: their people.

Tod will outline his own bold strategy for bringing mental health discussion out of the shadows in a way that will challenge your attendees for years to come.

Tod’s story is emotional… at once funny and poignant, sad and hopeful. Join us for a raw, thought-provoking and powerful presentation that will leave you inspired and motivated for change!
