Speaking Presentations

Mental Fitness for All
Do you feel that school gave you the tools to look after your mental and physical health? Neither do I. The truth is, most of us are missing out on our true potential in life, simply because we were never given the knowledge we so desperately deserve. Using my expertise in mental fitness and health, I will provide a framework that will change your life for the better. Think of the brain as your hardware and your mental health as the software. This talk gives you the tools to upgrade both, using science backed methods and habits that will ultimately change your life. Make today day one.

Men’s Mental Health: Everyone’s Business 
Men account for 75% of all suicides in the UK, yet outdated ideas - like being told to “man up,” “real men don’t talk about their feelings,” or that “stress is just part of success” - still prevent many from seeking help. We all have a son, brother, dad, or uncle - and too often, we assume it won’t affect us, until it does. This silence comes at a cost, impacting not just individuals but families, workplaces, and communities This talk challenges harmful stereotypes and offers practical, science-backed strategies to boost well-being and manage stress. I’ll share simple tools, my own journey, and the lessons that led me to co-found Mettle - because when we prioritise mental fitness, everyone benefits.

The Productivity Paradox: Science Has the Answer
Poor productivity costs the UK £140 billion per year - but the solution isn’t simply working harder. True productivity is about feeling fulfilled, working with purpose and doing what matters, For businesses, investing in employee well-being isn’t just the right thing to do - it drives profit, reduces turnover, and strengthens growth. Drawing on my books, I share the five key pillars to sustainable productivity, blending science with practical strategies. This talk will transform how you and your team work - boosting both performance and well-being.
