I Re-Humanise Lives From Screen-Based Existence
With over three decades of working in IT, Computer Scientist, AI ethicist, and former executive Jane Newman, knows first-hand the destructive effects of digital burnout and how to recover from it.
An international speaker and mindset coach, she shows the way to live joyfully, free from the effects of harmful technology.
Is AI creating more problems than it’s solving?
You’re using AI but the products you’re using don’t work as they should to deliver the benefits. You’re worried about social media and the social and environmental impacts of AI that don’t seem ethical but everybody else is using it anyway.
Do you feel overwhelmed and isolated by all the rapid changes?
You want to stay ahead and keep up with competitors and retain your job but every day feels more demanding and exhausting and you’re starting to burn out. You can’t find direction and no-one seems to be accountable.
Are you struggling to find meaning in a world that feels unstable?
You want to live a fulfilling life but it’s difficult to think about your purpose and find ways to enjoy it when there are so many problems in the world right now. Wherever you look there are things going wrong and you feel powerless to stop it.
Jane speaks on global stages to empower others to live free from the effects of harmful technology.
She shares her personal story and discoveries about technology’s detrimental impacts on human lives and on the planet. She encourages others to act with conscious intent in their technology choices and demand a better balance between technology and people.
Jane tells her story of Executive burnout and how she rebuilt her life, crafting keynotes and talks based on real lived experience. She shifts mindsets from productivity and efficiency into ethical and joyful living. She provides steps that can be taken to change the digital direction of an AI-led future into one that celebrates people.
Jane reminds us of the brilliance of spiritual and emotional intelligence that goes beyond technical imitations, and invites her audience to create, heal, and energise the world with conscientious purpose.

I am an international speaker and founder of three startups: Habanero Writing, a writing and publishing business; Re-Humanising, a mindset coaching and consulting service for people feeling stuck with screen-based living; and a tech product addressing the worldwide epidemic of isolation in young people.
With a career that began by training corporate professionals and speaking to theatres of business information systems, I have spent decades coaching and consulting within Australia and the UK. After burning out from executive stress within an Australian National Management role in IT, I decided to speak out publicly about the harmful effects of screen-based living.
I’m now based in Seoul, South Korea, and travel internationally. I work with global thought leaders and change-makers of all ages to reframe technology use and create a healthier human and planetary future. Through speaking, podcasts, consulting, and coaching, I help create a future that’s based on ethical human values, community, and real human connection.
