How incredible to hear from podcaster and New York Times Bestseller, Mel Robbins! Last night, Mel joined us for an intimate conversation where she shared her best advice for phone-life balance and how families can navigate the digital world with confidence. She and her son Oakley also had a special conversation about the challenges of parenting and growing up in a digital world. Mel’s science-based, actionable insights, which she delivered with her signature warmth and authentic style, helped us all explore what it means to thrive in a connected world. At Verizon, we're incredibly passionate about digital wellness. We are privileged to lead our new Digital Wellness initiative alongside amazing partners like Discovery Education, Sesame Workshop, My Digital TAT2 and Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP. Technology is empowering, but, if we’re honest, it can also be overwhelming at times. That’s why our goal is to help people of all ages build the skills, the confidence and awareness they need to use technology in a way that supports - not sabotages - their well-being. Hearing Mel speak only reinforced our commitment to empowering people with the tools and knowledge they need to create a healthy relationship with technology. And we can’t wait to continue this important work! Mel gifted the audience with 5 tips for digital wellness. You can find those on our website, along with more information about #Verizon #DigitalWellness initiative, here: https://lnkd.in/e64Warj6
