Neil Shah

Neil Shah is the Founder & Chief Destressing Officer of The Stress Management Society – an organisation that is dedicated to helping people tackle stress. Having experienced debilitating stress and mental health conditions firsthand, Neil has created a community that helps people learn about stress and the tools they need to cope with it. A seasoned keynote speaker, Neil uses his platform to spread awareness and a positive message, encouraging people to look after their wellbeing.

Neil’s passion for the cause stems from a personal experience. In his 20s, Neil underwent a challenging period post his multi-million-pound business failing. This business loss affected other areas of his life – most notably his mental health. A breakdown ensued, resulting in Neil attempting to take his own life. When such a situation arose, Neil realised he did not have anyone to turn to, that he lacked the support he needed to keep going. As he overcame such adversity, Neil identified an astute gap in people’s knowledge of mental health conditions and the impact stress can have on one’s life.

Thus, he created The Stress Management Society. In it’s 21st year, The Stress Management Society is fulfilling its mission to create a happier, healthier and more resilient world. Moreover, it is turning distress to destress – a cause that is making the world a better place. Neil is also the Chief Insights Officer at International Wellbeing Insights – offering advice and guidance to organisations for creating high performing & resilient teams. Neil is the Author of “The 10-Step Stress Solution: Live More, Relax More, Re-Energise” & “A Practical Guide to NLP: Turn Negatives into Positives”.

Neil Shah often contributes to leading publications such as The Sun, the Telegraph and The Huffington Post in addition to being featured on platforms such as BBC, Al-Jazeera and Sky News. A leader in the wellbeing & stress management space, Neil Shah is now available to hire as a keynote speaker for events related to mental health. His keynotes, rooted in science offer practical insights to people that are instrumental in coping with stress and managing it.
