( THE TALK )

The world of competition and corporate bottom lines drives us to extremes. We need to go home, we need to disconnect and recharge, but it’s increasingly difficult to do so. When not used mindfully, our tech can sap our focus, productivity, creativity and, ultimately, our impact. Embracing the Joy of Missing Out is essential for success in all aspects of how we love, live, parent and lead. Joy, by definition, is “the emotion evoked by well-being, success and the prospect of possessing what one desires.” It’s what we all want.

By examining the connected world through the lens of her own internet fast, Christina creates a convincing case for increasing intentionality in our day-to-day lives and cultivating joy by missing out on the right things.

( KEY TAKEAWAYS )

You control your digital consumption.
// You control your tech - not the other way around. You can reclaim your time and energy. More than just building awareness around how tech affects us, I empower you to control your digital consumption.

Focus on what fills you up.
// Joy is an antidote to digital overwhelm - and human connection is the best way to bring more joy into our lives. Pursuing the things we love - whatever form that may take - helps us find balance and peace.

Good things happen when you slow down.
// A slower pace of life is possible - and you don’t need to lay your life on the altar of hustle. While it often feels like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish every task on our to-do list, slowing down can often help us find more space, more creativity, and more joy.

JOMO is the joy of missing out on the right things.
// JOMO is the joy of missing out on the right things: life-taking things like toxic hustle, comparison, disconnection, and digital drain in order to make space for life-giving commitments that bring us peace, love, meaning, and joy.

( CLIENTS )

"From the moment I approached Christina Crook to discuss the opportunity of hosting a DRIVE session she was nothing but professional, engaged, and extremely collaborative. Christina created a presentation specifically for DRIVE which was all about building awareness when it comes to social media consumption. Christina skillfully helped attendees glimpse into how they passively consume media and reevaluate their consumption through articulating their values.    

Christina has an ability to connect with people immediately and finds commonalities that make her extremely relatable. Christina’s relatability was key in helping breaking down the shyness in the room successfully leading to vulnerable and open conversations between attendees. The session was flawlessly executed. It received much positive feedback from attendees--so much so that I had colleagues anecdotally bringing up points from the session in conversations months later.

I would recommend Christina Crook to anyone looking for a motivational/inspirational speaker."
