Keynotes

Talks that change how people listen

Every talk combines personal story, practical tools and a live listening moment the audience experiences together. Tailored to your audience, in person or virtual, in English or Spanish.

Reclaim Your AttentionKeynote, 45–60 minutes

Why focus is a skill you can train, and how to start tomorrow.

Description: Attention feels harder than ever, and most advice asks people to simply try harder. Drawing on her life hearing sound in color and living with misophonia, Siana shows that attention is a skill, not a personality trait. The audience experiences a short live listening moment and leaves with habits they can use the next morning.

The Art of Slowing DownKeynote, 30–45 minutes

What living with synesthesia taught me about noticing.

Description: The talk behind Siana's TEDx work. Through story and a guided sensory experience, Siana shares what it's like to hear in color and why slowing down to notice is one of the most useful skills anyone can build. A reflective, memorable talk that changes how people listen, to their environment, to each other and to themselves.

Practical, energizing and grounded in real practice.

Length
10–15 minutes each, usually 2–3 per day
Format
In person or virtual
Group size
Any size
Best for
Full-day offsites, conferences and long planning sessions

Short, guided resets woven into your event agenda. When people have been sitting and listening for hours, an Attention Break helps them step out of the noise and come back to the next session ready to focus.

Each break includes

  • A guided listening moment to quiet the room
  • Light movement to reset energy (no special clothing needed)
  • One practical attention technique people can reuse at their desks

A simple way to bring Sonari into an event you've already planned, and a natural introduction to the full workshop.

Consulting

Attention and resilience consulting

For organizations that want to go beyond a single session.

Attention and resilience consultingTypically 4–8 weeks
Length
Scoped to your needs, typically 4–8 weeks
Format
Remote, with optional on-site visits
Best for
L&D and People teams building a longer-term approach to focus and resilience

For organizations that want to go beyond a single session. We help you understand what's pulling at your people's attention, and design learning that fits how your teams actually work.

This can include

  • Listening sessions and a short survey to understand your teams' attention challenges
  • A review of meeting, messaging and workspace habits, including sound and environment
  • Recommendations your leaders can act on
  • A learning roadmap: which workshops, programs and follow-up fit your goals

The benefits of understanding attention

Attention is where all work happens. When people understand how theirs works, they can:

  • Focus on what matters most, with less time lost switching between tasks
  • Recover faster after interruptions, pressure and overload
  • Notice stress signals earlier, and respond instead of react
  • Listen better and run more focused meetings
  • Shape their environment, including sound, to support their focus
  • Make clearer decisions when priorities compete

Questions

Is this therapy or mental health treatment?

No. The Attention Reset is skills education. It doesn't diagnose or treat any condition and isn't a substitute for mental health support. If workload or organizational factors are driving the problem, we'll say so.

In person or virtual?

Both.

How many people can take part?

Workshops work best for groups of up to 40. Larger groups can be split into sessions or paired with the keynote.

Can you deliver it in Spanish?

Yes, in English or Spanish.

How do you measure results?

A short survey before and after the workshop, and a 30-day check-in on which strategies people are using. Responses are anonymous and summarized in a one-page report.

Can you tailor it to our team?

Yes. The discovery call shapes the examples and scenarios. The core curriculum stays the same, which keeps it proven and affordable.

Not sure which fits your team?

Tell us what's coming up and we'll recommend the right format on a 20-minute discovery call.
