ABOUT
Hi, I’m Laura Willis, a Healthy Digital Workplace and AI Consultant on a mission to help organisations and their people to ensure they are using technology in a sustainable, healthy way.
In 2016, I founded Shine Offline – the UK’s first training consultancy dedicated to improving digital wellbeing. Inspired by my own journey through digital overwhelm, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of employees across the globe prevent digital burnout and develop healthier relationships with technology. My clients have included UK government bodies, the NHS, O2, Warner Bros. Disney, the Crown Prosecution Service, and nearly 30 law firms.
I provide practical strategies for workplace attention management and how to improve focus at work, helping teams and leaders take control of their technology use. By exploring mindful tech habits for teams and leadership focus and performance, my work empowers professionals to work more effectively without being overwhelmed by constant digital demands and utilise the AI available to them in a human-centred way.
With a background in Social Psychology, I bring a down-to-earth, honest approach to my work. I’m an associate of the Mindful Business Charter and Investors in People, Mental Health First Aid trained, and a lived-experience speaker for MHFA England.
As a wife and mum of two, I understand firsthand the challenges families face in managing technology at home and as someone who works primarily remotely, I experience the pressures of our always-on culture daily. My goal is simple: to help individuals and teams work and live with Digital Harmony so they can thrive in today’s hyper-connected world.
