Solving The Billion Pound Problem
Lack of productivity due to poor mental health cost the economy £57.4 billion last year. As staggering as this might be, it’s the human cost that matters most. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Using my knowledge and expertise in mental fitness and health, I provide an approach that executives and managers can use to build companies that are conducive with good mental health. A healthy and happy workforce is a productive and resilient workforce. Packed with tangible takeaway tips and advice, this keynote isn’t one to miss.
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.
The Productivity Paradox: Science Has the Answer
Everyone wants to be more productive, and every employer wants more productive employees, but what does productivity actually mean and how can we achieve it? I believe productivity is about being able to do more of what you care about, and feeling truly fulfilled and purposeful in your life. Both at work, and at home. Drawing on my books, I discuss the 5 key pillars to being more productive, benefitting employer and employee alike. Combining science with mindset hacks, this talk will change the way you approach your to-do-list forever.
Why Mental Health Matters
Google physical health, and you’ll see an athlete running through the park; Google mental health, and you’ll see someone in despair? Everyone has both physical and mental health, yet we only focus on the former. Learning about mental health is invaluable, from understanding the gut-brain connection to adopting daily habits that can transform your life. This talk will reframe your view of mental health, equipping you with essential tools for your well-being and supporting those around you. I touch on my own personal story and the path that led me here, tackling the stigma and myths that still exist. Just as we train our bodies, we should all be training our minds.

"We were eager to work with Dr Alex after developing our Emotional Pillar within Consumer Experience for L’Oreal Professional Products Division. Alex is a great figure, doing some amazing things to raise awareness and amplify the topic of Mental Health and he did not disappoint. He inspired the delegates and got people thinking about the important topic. He was on time for every meeting and even when we made a last-minute date and time change he accepted and adapted without any complaints. Alex was inspiring, professional and relatable throughout and we will definitely be looking to work with him again. Keep up the fabulous work Alex!" - Gayatri, L'Oreal
