The umbrella theme of 2019 ReputationTime Riga is communication challenges and harnessing the power from slowing down and transform it into the benefits in our professional and personal lifes. Four warm-up masterclasses will be held leading up to the ReputationTime “In Praise of Slow: Life & Communication at The Right Speed in the Digital Age” keynote and networking event featuring Carl Honorè will be held in Riga on May 17th, 2018. He will discuss the challenges that roadrunner culture faces in today’s digitally disruptive environment and strategies to gain depth, pleasure and meaning to work and life. There is no doubt that the digital revolution drives a profound disruption and massive cultural, economic, social and political changes. Whether it is artificial intelligence, internet of things, social media – progress in all these areas also affects how we communicate, connect to each other and live our professional and personal lives. When we forget how to slow down, every aspect of our life suffers – our relationships, families and communities, work even our diet and health. But there is an alternative to today’s roadrunner culture. It’s called the Slow movement. Being Slow is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace; it’s about doing everything at the right speed. Slowing down at the right moments can bring more depth, pleasure and meaning to your life. It can boost your happiness and make you more efficient, productive and creative. It can also strengthen your relationships and help you communicate better. During this keynote Carl will focus on five key areas where slowing down pays dividents: exercise, medicine, sex, educatation and parenting.
