Imagine a conference room full of executives. Every five minutes, a cell phone vibrates somewhere; someone is secretly typing an email under the table; another is scrolling through LinkedIn. Then Anitra Eggler takes the stage—and less than ten minutes later, no one is looking at their screens anymore. Not because she’s forbidden it, but because what she’s saying is more exciting than any push notification.

That’s exactly the “Anitra Eggler Effect” that her clients have been raving about for years.

Who is Anitra Eggler?

Anitra Eggler is a journalist, bestselling author, and at the forefront of the digital transformation. On her own website, she sums it up simply: “I’ve been working in digital transformation since 1998.” What began as a meteoric rise in the internet industry took a dramatic turn in 2009: After nearly 15 years as a manager, she underwent a digital detox herself and thus became a digital detox pioneer long before the term became a buzzword.

Since then, she has written several bestsellers, including The Digital Detox Book, hosts the OMMMline podcast, and has even founded her own publishing house, LIKE Publishing, for people with little time and too much screen time. Over 200,000 people have already seen her speak in person—on stages ranging from Siemens Switzerland to Henkel. Her core message is never anti-technology, but rather the exact opposite: not less digital, but better and always with people at the center.

In an interview with Ladies Drive, she demonstrated just how brutally honest she is with numbers: “80% of people are under-digitized when it comes to their digital literacy.” A statement that debunks the illusion held by many companies that digital transformation has long been accomplished through remote work and new tools.

What Anitra Eggler Talks About on Stage

Anitra Eggler’s range of topics is as multifaceted as digitalization itself – but never arbitrary:

• PRODUCTIVITY IS DEAD.
  Why AI is rendering old productivity paradigms obsolete and which new success factors truly matter in the AI era.

• AI UNCENSORED – HUMAN. MACHINE. ISSUES OF POWER.
  A provocative AI keynote on work, power, and what it means to be human- with ChatGPT live on stage.

• PEOPLE FIRST. HOW TO MAKE THE AI ERA YOUR BEST TIME YET.
  How we can strengthen our judgment, creativity, and relationships, and use AI strategically to enhance human capabilities.

• CELL PHONE, WE NEED TO TALK!
  How to reduce digital distractions, reclaim our attention, and live more productively and mindfully.

• AI LOVE YOU.
  How AI is becoming relationship technology and what that means for work, leadership, and how we live together.

• EVERYTHING’S CLEAR. NOTHING MAKES SENSE.
  Why independent thinking becomes the decisive superpower in the AI era.

Her stage shows are anything but dry technical lectures. Eggler presents her content in bold, multimedia formats full of humor, depth, and reality checks that actually make young and old alike forget about their cell phones. Hilariously funny and deadly serious at the same time, highly complex yet understandable to everyone – very few speakers manage to pull off this balancing act.

Why Booking Her Is Worth It

Many talks on digitalization and AI either stop at superficial enthusiasm for technology or at vague fears about the future. Anitra Eggler offers the opposite: a brutally honest, scientifically grounded, and at the same time hilarious analysis that immediately resonates with the audience’s everyday lives. She is one of the most in-demand speakers in the German-speaking world and consciously maintains her own work-life balance by giving no more than 50 talks per year. Anyone who wants to book her should plan well in advance.

For companies that want to inspire their workforce to approach digitalization and AI in a smart, self-directed way, rather than overwhelming them with yet more tool training, Anitra Eggler is the right choice. For anyone who has ever felt stuck and frustrated in a digitally overloaded workday, her talk could be exactly the reset moment they need.
