From carefully curated profiles to the pressure of being constantly visible, many of us have learned to perform ourselves rather than simply be ourselves.Drawing on fifteen years working in marketing, business psychology, and media, alongside the research behind her upcoming book Real: Reconnecting to Yourself in a World of Likes and Lies, Alexis Zahner explores how digital platforms influence our attention, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we’ll unpack concepts such as the performance self, social comparison, dark design patterns, and why authenticity has become increasingly difficult in an algorithm-driven world.Rather than asking us to abandon technology, this talk offers a thoughtful framework for understanding our relationship with it, and asks a timely question: when our identity becomes content, what does it mean to be real?Your Speaker:Alexis Zahner is an author, business psychology professional, and marketing leader with over 15 years of experience in marketing, media, and human behaviour. Through her writing, speaking, and consulting, she explores how social media shapes identity, attention, and wellbeing. Alexis is the author of Real: Reconnecting to Yourself in a World of Likes and Lies, host of the Live+Work More Human podcast, and Marketing Manager at the Byron Writers Festival.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PMDoors open and arrival🕑: 07:00 PMSpeaker starts - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/woolloongabba/how-social-media-has-taught-us-to-perform-identity-rather-than-live-it/100001997245368662 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, festivals, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Brisbane Brewing Co.
