Mark Ostach Biography

Mark Ostach is a digital wellness advocate. His advocacy started in 2003 during his psychology studies at Albion College. By 2010, he had developed a plugin to help manage time and mood online, based on his research into the impacts of the internet and social media on mood, loneliness, and envy. This research later served as the basis for his 2015 TEDx talk titled "Are you an i-Drenaline Junkie?" where he explored how phones affect our biochemistry.

Ostach's work has been recognized by numerous organizations and media outlets. In 2016, he spoke at the Digital Citizenship Summit at Twitter’s Headquarters. He educates organizations on establishing boundaries with their digital devices to alleviate stress and reduce burnout. Ostach's insights have also been featured in various media platforms, including a 2021 interview on WJR 760 AM on enhancing digital wellness.

In 2022, Ostach further expanded his influence by launching the "Courage to Connect" podcast and publishing his book "If You Really Knew Me…". The following year, he published key takeaways from his work with over 200 organizations, focusing on fostering social connection and digital wellness in the workplace. Despite his busy professional life, Ostach takes time to pursue personal interests such as writing music, spending time in nature, and enjoying life with his wife and their two children. He remains resolute in his mission to remind the world that human connection is the most powerful connection we have.

Fostering Connection & Wellness in the Future of Work

Inspiring Connection in a Hybrid Workplace

Inspiring connection in a hybrid workplace is going to be key for fostering a culture of connection. Many of us have gotten used to learning, living, and leading from home. While this has created flexibility and autonomy among teams, this can also create a sense of disconnection and isolation. Demonstrating empathy for the changes we are all going through and understanding ways to restore energy and team member interaction are critical. In Mark’s keynote, he will provide ways to reignite human connection in a hybrid workplace leaving you filled with a newfound courage to connect.

Creating a Culture of Digital Wellbeing

Fostering digital wellness can lead to better relationships, more satisfaction at work, and a reduction in employee burnout. In Mark’s uplifting talk, he’ll explore how our devices impact the mind, body, & spirit and provide techniques to improve the digital wellbeing of your organization.

The Art of Listening

A truly inclusive workplace is about listening, understanding and responding to the lived experiences of the people it directly impacts. Too often now, the conversation on myriad of issues is polarized, with sides pitted against one another and little effort to listen and learn from each other. Mark will show us why listening is a critical step to creating a sense of belonging within the workplace.

Embracing Change & Staying Resilient

Change can have a major impact on the culture of an organization. Demonstrating empathy for the changes your team is going through and providing them with ways to cultivate a resilient mindset is critical to embracing change. In Mark’s message, he will provide ways for your organization to ‘Stay Above the Line’ as you navigate change within the workplace.
