Better Minds x DConnect

Focus is one of the most underestimated levers for mental wellbeing at work. Employees lose an average of one hour per day to fragmented work. After every interruption, it takes approximately 23 minutes to regain deep concentration. Multiply that across an entire team, and the impact quickly becomes clear: more stress, less energy, higher cognitive fatigue, and quiet disengagement.

That is why we have partnered with DConnect.

From Awareness to Behaviour

At Better Minds, we believe that sustainable performance starts with mental energy. And mental energy requires focus. But inspiration alone does not change behaviour. That is why we now combine our keynotes and workshops on focus and mental resilience with the daily reinforcement that DConnect provides.

DConnect is an accessible app that helps employees take control of their digital habits. Not through rules or restrictions, but through awareness and small behavioural adjustments that are genuinely achievable. The app makes digital patterns visible, shows where attention is leaking away, and helps employees make conscious choices.

This way, focus becomes not a temporary campaign, but a lasting habit.

Sebastien Hiernaux, CEO of DConnect:“I am very excited to announce this collaboration. Better Minds currently focuses on all of DConnect’s key audiences, with a strong emphasis on companies seeking well-being solutions for their employees. It also strongly supports the adults of tomorrow through the Better Minds at School program, guiding children, educating them and their parents on healthy digital habits, and helping them understand the dynamics of the attention economy as they navigate the digital future."

‍Elke Geraerts, CEO of Better Minds:“We’re all caught in a digital storm. More triggers, less focus, and a generation growing up without ever learning how to build a healthy relationship with technology. That’s why this partnership makes so much sense. Together with DConnect, we bring not just awareness but practical guidance people can use today. Because mental capital starts with attention, and focus is the new gold, and right now it’s slipping through too many hands. I’m truly looking forward to what we can build together.”

The Focus Journey

Together, we offer the Focus Journey: a programme that builds sustainable concentration within your organisation step by step. We begin with an inspiring kick-off keynote and continue through workshops such as Focus is the New Gold, Experience-Based Disconnecting, and Deconnect to Reconnect. Employees also work independently with the DConnect app, with space for individual coaching and reflection.

The result: awareness at employee level, daily behaviour change, and impact measurement at organisational level. A true 360° approach.
