Mental sundhed på arbejdspladsen

Why organisations work with Jeff Salzenstein He brings a verified elite-performance credential into the executive room. ATP top 100, two NCAA team titles at Stanford, and a return to the top 100 at age 30 after two career-threatening injuries. The recovery story is not metaphor; it is the source material for the framework. The Own Your Zone of Excellence methodology is structured, not motivational. Four named pillars (rapid stress reduction, mindset shifts, emotional regulation, rest and recovery) that map onto the specific nervous-system and recovery decisions a senior leader can make inside a week. He is booked by organisations whose leaders are visibly under load: Duck Creek Technologies, U.S. Radiology Specialists, Weil Gotshal & Manges, Vistage chairs. The repeat work in private practice, healthcare, and legal services indicates the framework holds up in high-intensity professional settings. He runs Tennis Evolution, a coaching business with a 85,000-subscriber YouTube channel. He has built and scaled a teaching product, which is rare among speakers whose credibility rests on a past career. Biography highlights Former ATP top 100 singles player; career-high world No. 100 reached in June 2004, the oldest American to first crack the top 100 at that age. Two-time Stanford All-American, NCAA team champion 1995 and 1996, played No. 1 singles, team captain, coached by Dick Gould. Tennis Week magazine Rookie of the Year, 1997. Competed in the main draw of all four Grand Slams. Inducted into the Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame, 2005. Founder of Tennis Evolution, an online coaching platform with a YouTube channel exceeding 85,000 subscribers. Contributing author of “The Ultimate Success Guide” with Brian Tracy. Biography Most executive wellbeing programmes are designed for the workforce and ignore the layer under the most pressure. The leadership team gets a slide on resilience and a meditation app. The mechanics of how senior leaders actually regulate stress, recover, and stay sharp through compressed cycles rarely make it into the conversation. Salzenstein’s work starts where that conversation gives up. The credential is unusually concrete. He played No. 1 singles for Stanford under Dick Gould, captained back-to-back NCAA team championships in 1995 and 1996, and reached world No. 100 on the ATP tour. He then broke into the top 100 a second time, at 30, after two career-threatening injuries. Tennis Week named him Rookie of the Year in 1997. The Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame inducted him in 2005. The Own Your Zone of Excellence framework grew out of that arc and out of a family mental health and addiction crisis that ended his playing career. It is built around four operational pillars: rapid stress reduction, mindset shifts, emotional regulation, and rest and recovery. The content is closer to applied performance science than to motivational speaking, and it is structured so leaders can use it inside an ordinary working week. Organisations that book him tend to be in high-intensity professional settings where the executive layer is visibly under load. Duck Creek Technologies, U.S. Radiology Specialists, Weil Gotshal & Manges, Lightspeed Systems, The Mortgage Collaborative, and Vistage chairs have used him as keynote or coach. He also runs Tennis Evolution, an online coaching business with a YouTube channel of more than 85,000 subscribers, which makes him one of the few speakers in the performance space who has built and sustained a teaching product alongside his keynote work. Key speaking topics Executive resilience and burnout prevention Stress regulation and nervous system recovery Peak performance under pressure Mental and emotional health for senior leaders Mindset and focus for high-performing teams Sales team performance and pressure Culture and engagement for executive teams Ideal for CEOs and executive leadership teams running high-intensity cycles, particularly in professional services, healthcare, technology, and financial services CHROs and chief people officers building wellbeing programmes that include the senior layer, not just the broader workforce Sales leaders and revenue teams operating under sustained quota pressure Vistage chairs, peer-advisory groups, and leadership offsites focused on personal performance and recovery Audience outcomes A concrete set of practices for rapid stress reduction and nervous system regulation that senior leaders can use during the working day A vocabulary for talking about executive burnout and recovery inside the leadership team Specific techniques for reframing pressure moments without losing edge or focus A clearer sense of what rest and recovery look like at the executive level, beyond holiday and headspace apps

Why organisations work with Jennifer Medhurst A registered nutritionist (mBANT, rCNHC) trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, so claims made on stage are clinically grounded rather than influencer-led. Author of The Imperfect Nutritionist: 7 Principles of Healthy Eating (Kyle Books), giving wellbeing programmes a published framework to anchor sessions and follow-up content. A media-fluent communicator with an audience of over 1.5 million across TikTok and Instagram, which translates into a presenting style that holds a non-specialist corporate room. Comfortable on the specific topics employers actually ask about, including gut health, immunity, hormonal health, and the food and mood relationship, rather than a single signature talk. Biography highlights Registered Nutritionist with mBANT and rCNHC professional registrations. Three-year Nutrition diploma, awarded with distinction, from the College of Naturopathic Medicine. Author of The Imperfect Nutritionist: 7 Principles of Healthy Eating, Kyle Books. Founder of Jennifer Medhurst Nutrition, a private clinic in London. Early TikTok partner in the UK for educational health content; combined audience over 1.5 million across TikTok, Instagram and newsletter. Featured in Authority Magazine and Kudos Online Magazine on nutrition, self-care and wellbeing. Biography Nutrition has a credibility problem inside large organisations. Wellbeing leads have to choose between clinical dietitians who speak the language of pathology and social media voices who speak the language of trends. Neither lands well with a mixed corporate audience. Jennifer Medhurst sits between those two worlds. She is a registered nutritionist (mBANT, rCNHC) who trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, where she completed a three-year diploma with distinction. She runs a private clinic in London and writes for general readers, which is a rarer combination than it sounds. Her book, The Imperfect Nutritionist: 7 Principles of Healthy Eating, published by Kyle Books, sets out a framework built around whole foods, dietary diversity, fats, fermented foods, refined carbohydrate reduction, liquids and mindful eating. The framing is deliberately non-prescriptive. The argument is that personalised, sustainable habits beat any single plan, and that most employees know this already and are tired of being told otherwise. She reaches over 1.5 million people across TikTok, Instagram and her newsletter, and was approached as an early TikTok partner in the UK for educational health content. For wellbeing programmes, that audience reach is operational rather than decorative. It means she presents to non-specialists without slipping into either jargon or generality. Key speaking topics Gut health Immunity and diet Female health and hormones Mood and food Plant-forward and vegan eating Evidence-based nutrition without diet culture Corporate wellbeing and nutrition Ideal for Heads of wellbeing and benefits leaders designing employee health programmes. HR and people teams running wellness weeks, return-to-office days and employee resource group events. Internal communications leads commissioning credible health content for staff channels. Client and member events in financial services, professional services and consumer brands where wellbeing is part of the proposition. Audience outcomes A workable set of principles for everyday eating that does not depend on a particular diet or product. Clearer thinking on the food and health claims employees see online, and how to evaluate them. Specific guidance on the topics employees actually ask about, including gut health, energy, hormones and immunity. A more grown-up internal conversation about wellbeing, one that is not built on fads or moralising.

Why organisations work with Jermaine Harris A Sports Psychology MSc with Distinction sits behind the talk, so the resilience content rests on academic grounding rather than slogans. The Empowered Results Programme gives audiences a defined process to take away, not a one-off emotional lift that fades by Monday. His own near-amputation and recovery story is used as evidence for behaviour-change technique, which is why Admiral, Amazon, YouTube, and PGA EuroPro Group have brought him in. Audiences leave with usable mental tools drawn from his reading of more than 380 self-help titles, distilled by someone trained to assess what actually works. He is comfortable in front of mixed audiences from frontline staff to leadership, which makes him useful for company-wide kick-offs and sales conferences where a single speaker has to land across the room. Biography highlights BSc (Hons) and MSc (Distinction) in Sports Psychology ICF accredited Professional Coach and certified Firewalk Instructor Author of The Rut Buster and Lift Your Life! Founder of The Empowered Results Programme Corporate engagements with Admiral, Amazon, YouTube, PGA EuroPro Group, Forever Living, and Hallmark Care Homes Fundraiser and advocate for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, following his son’s diagnosis in 2015 Biography Resilience is one of the most over-claimed words in corporate wellbeing. The challenge for an HR or culture lead is to find a voice on the topic who can move beyond the language and actually shift how people behave on Monday morning. Jermaine Harris built his speaking practice around exactly that gap. His starting point was personal. A serious car accident and the threat of losing a leg ended a phase of heavy drinking and gambling. The interesting decision came next: he completed a BSc and an MSc with Distinction in Sports Psychology and used that training to study what actually changes behaviour. The Empowered Results Programme is the consolidated output of that work. Two published books, The Rut Buster and Lift Your Life!, give audiences something to take home, and an ICF coaching credential underpins the one-to-one work he runs alongside the keynotes. Admiral, Amazon, YouTube, PGA EuroPro Group, Forever Living, and Hallmark Care Homes have used him for company events where the brief is morale, motivation, and personal performance. What sets the work apart from standard motivational fare is the combination of an academic frame, a worked methodology, and a credible personal account of recovery. He also fundraises for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, a cause connected to his son’s diagnosis at four weeks old in 2015. Key speaking topics Mindset and personal performance Resilience after setback Overcoming self-imposed limits Confidence and self-belief Behaviour change and habit formation Team motivation and morale Purpose and direction at work Ideal for HR and culture leads planning company-wide kick-offs, sales conferences, and morale events Frontline and customer-service organisations where motivation directly affects performance Wellbeing and L and D leads looking for resilience content with an academic underpin Sales and revenue teams running incentive or annual meetings Audience outcomes A defined process for resetting after a personal or professional setback Specific techniques for managing self-talk, fear, and limiting belief A short list of habit changes that translate into measurable daily behaviour A renewed sense of agency over career, health, and finance decisions Energy and lift, paired with content audiences can apply the next morning

Why organisations work with Jill Payne A working method, not a mood-lift. Her Energy Management framework gives leaders and teams a shared language for how they move, what they focus on, and how they talk to themselves under load. Credibility with high-performance environments. She has coached the Canadian Women’s Olympic Rugby 7’s programme on mental conditioning and culture, and applies the same playbook inside companies. A book the field has rated. Be a Dime won Gold at the 2024 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards in the Self-Help category, published by Figure 1 Publishing. Range across sectors that demand precision. Named corporate clients include Google, NASA, McDonald’s, Sony, PepsiCo, Boeing, and Western Union. Tools audiences keep using. Her sessions hand over named practices, the Body, Focus, Dialogue (BFD) sequence among them, that leaders can take back into their week. Biography highlights Author of Be a Dime: Unleash Your Inherent Energy and Live Life More Joyfully (Figure 1 Publishing). Gold Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award, Self-Help, 2024. Master’s in Workplace Wellness / Employee Engagement & Workplace Performance; undergraduate degrees in Human Kinetics and Education. Mental Conditioning and Culture Coach to the Canadian Women’s Olympic Rugby 7’s programme. Former Team Canada athlete in Sprint Canoe and Rugby. Corporate clients include Google, NASA, McDonald’s, Sony, PepsiCo, Boeing, Western Union, NBC. Biography Most wellbeing programmes treat burnout as something to soften after the fact. Payne treats it earlier, as a question of capacity. How a leader moves through the day, what they choose to attend to, and the running dialogue they hold with themselves all sit upstream of how much pressure they can absorb before judgement slips. That logic became the Energy Management framework, now used inside organisations across North America. The method is built on three working levers, body, focus, and dialogue, which Payne treats as a single system rather than three wellness habits. Her book Be a Dime sets out the approach in long form and won Gold at the 2024 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards in Self-Help, published by Figure 1 Publishing. Her credibility comes from working inside environments where the cost of poor energy is immediate. As Mental Conditioning and Culture Coach with the Canadian Women’s Olympic Rugby 7’s programme, she applied the same method she now brings to senior teams at Google, NASA, McDonald’s, Sony, PepsiCo, Boeing, and Western Union. The academic spine is a Master’s in Workplace Wellness and Employee Engagement, layered on undergraduate work in Human Kinetics and Education. For an organisation absorbing change fatigue or watching engagement scores drift, Payne gives leaders a concrete operating practice, not another wellness initiative. The work is closer to mental performance coaching than to mindfulness, and it equips senior teams to keep showing up clearly when conditions tighten. Key speaking topics Energy management and personal capacity Burnout prevention and recovery Resilience under sustained pressure High-performance team culture Mental conditioning for leaders Joy and engagement at work Workplace wellbeing strategy Ideal for CHROs, CPOs, and heads of talent rebuilding engagement after sustained change Senior leadership teams managing performance under prolonged pressure Wellbeing and learning leads moving past surface-level wellness programming High-performance functions, sales, trading floors, clinical leadership, where capacity is the constraint Audience outcomes A working vocabulary for energy as an organisational capacity, not a private wellness concern The Body, Focus, Dialogue (BFD) sequence as a practice that leaders can apply that week A clearer read on the early indicators of burnout inside their own teams Specific practices for joy and recovery that are grounded in evidence, not slogans A reframe of resilience as a daily operating habit, taught and reinforced

Why organisations work with Jodie Burrage She speaks from inside the experience of considering whether to walk away, then choosing not to. That is a different conversation from generic motivational content, and audiences feel the difference. Her examples are dated, specific and verifiable: a top-five win over Paula Badosa, a Wimbledon main-draw debut victory, an all-British WTA final, and a near full ankle ligament rupture in training that cost her a Grand Slam season. She covers mental health from the position of someone who broke down in a training session in 2024 and went back the next day. The credibility on pressure and stress comes from the record, not from a wellness framework. She is a current player, not a retired figurehead. The recovery story is live, which makes the material useful to teams facing their own in-flight setbacks rather than retrospective. Biography highlights Career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 85, reached in September 2023 Reached the 2023 Nottingham Open final, the first all-British WTA final since 1977 WTA Tour doubles champion at the 2023 Transylvania Open with Jil Teichmann First Grand Slam main-draw singles win at Wimbledon 2023 against Caty McNally Top-five career win over Paula Badosa at the 2022 Eastbourne International Represented Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup including the 2026 qualifier against Australia in Melbourne Biography Three ankle surgeries before the age of twenty would have ended most playing careers. Burrage came back from them, broke into the world top 100 in 2023, and reached an all-British WTA final at Nottingham against Katie Boulter, the first of its kind since 1977. The same year she recorded her first Grand Slam main-draw singles win at Wimbledon against Caty McNally and lifted a WTA Tour doubles title in Cluj-Napoca with Jil Teichmann. The 2024 season is the part of the story audiences tend to remember. Wrist surgery in February was followed, just as she was returning, by a near full rupture of her ATFL ankle ligament in a training session with Boulter. She missed the French Open, the grass-court season and Wimbledon. She has since said publicly that she considered retirement during that recovery and broke down mid-session asking how much fight she had left. The material she brings to corporate audiences is built on that ground. The career-high ranking of No. 85, the top-five win over Paula Badosa at Eastbourne in 2022, and her Billie Jean King Cup appearances for Great Britain through to the 2026 qualifier against Australia all sit inside a record of repeated injury and return. She talks about pressure, public accountability and the daily decision to keep going as someone still actively making that decision on the WTA Tour. For leaders who have to ask teams to perform through restructure, setback or sustained uncertainty, the value is the realism. Burrage does not present resilience as a state. She describes it as a series of small choices made on bad days, with the scoreboard public the following week. Key speaking topics Self-leadership under pressure Resilience and recovery from setback Mental health in high-performance environments Goal setting and personal accountability Performing in the public eye Team environments and individual responsibility Ideal for Sales, trading and other performance-measured teams operating under public or visible scorecards HR, talent and L&D leaders building wellbeing and mental health content with credibility beyond the wellness sector Leaders running organisations through restructure, layoffs or sustained operational pressure Early-career and high-potential audiences facing first encounters with public failure Audience outcomes A concrete account of how a current professional athlete makes the decision to continue after setback, rather than an abstract framework Language for talking about mental health in performance settings without softening it into wellness A working definition of accountability when results are visible and the next attempt is days away A reference point for resilience grounded in dated, verifiable career events rather than metaphor

Why organisations work with John McCarthy First-hand authority on sustained psychological endurance, not borrowed from research but from 1,943 days in captivity in Lebanon as Britain’s longest-held hostage. A journalist’s craft applied to his own story: he can articulate what most people who survive extreme experience cannot put into words for an audience. A specific lesson rooted in cellmate friendship with Brian Keenan: how two people sustain each other’s morale, humour, and reason when the institutions around them have failed. A bestselling memoir, “Some Other Rainbow”, and a follow-up travel book with Keenan, “Between Extremes”, that gave him a long public platform beyond the captivity story itself. Honoured with a CBE in 1992 and an honorary D.Litt from the University of Hull, with subsequent BBC television and radio work that demonstrates broadcast-grade clarity in front of an audience. Biography highlights Kidnapped in Beirut on 17 April 1986 while working for United Press International Television News; released on 8 August 1991 after more than five years in captivity. Britain’s longest-held hostage in Lebanon, sharing a cell for much of that period with the Irish writer Brian Keenan. Appointed CBE in the 1992 New Year Honours List. Co-author of the bestselling memoir “Some Other Rainbow” (1993, with Jill Morrell), and of “Between Extremes” (1999, with Brian Keenan). Author of “A Ghost Upon Your Path” (2010) and “You Can’t Hide the Sun: A Journey Through Palestine” (2013), both published by Transworld. BBC television and radio credits include “Island Race” with Sandi Toksvig (1995) and BBC Radio 4’s “Excess Baggage”. Patron of Freedom from Torture. Biography On 17 April 1986, a young television journalist on his first foreign posting was driving to Beirut airport when his car was stopped by gunmen. John McCarthy, working for United Press International Television News, would not be free again until 8 August 1991. He became Britain’s longest-held hostage in Lebanon. For most of those years he was held alongside the Irish writer Brian Keenan. The two men kept each other functional through humour, argument, invented routines, and a stubborn refusal to give the captors their interior lives. When McCarthy speaks to senior audiences, this is the material that lands hardest: not the abduction or the release, but the daily mechanics of how two people hold a mind together when nothing outside the cell is in their control. After release he wrote, with Jill Morrell, the bestselling memoir “Some Other Rainbow” (Bantam Press, 1993). With Keenan he later co-wrote “Between Extremes” (1999), the account of a journey through Patagonia and Chile that the two men had imagined while in captivity. Two further books followed, “A Ghost Upon Your Path” and “You Can’t Hide the Sun: A Journey Through Palestine”. He sailed around the British coastline with Sandi Toksvig for the BBC series “Island Race” and co-presented BBC Radio 4’s “Excess Baggage”. He was appointed CBE in 1992 and holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Hull. The work he is most often asked to do for organisations is not motivational in the soft sense; it is precise testimony about endurance, hope, and the difference between giving up and continuing, delivered by someone who has earned every word. Key speaking topics Resilience under prolonged pressure Hope and morale in extended uncertainty Decision-making in extreme circumstances Recovery and reintegration after crisis Friendship, humour, and survival Leadership lessons from captivity Ideal for Senior leadership audiences facing sustained, multi-year disruption rather than acute one-off crises Risk, security, and crisis management functions that need a human counterpart to their procedural training Organisations marking a milestone, anniversary, or after-dinner moment that calls for substance over showmanship Audience outcomes A clearer sense of what sustains morale and judgement when a situation will not resolve quickly A first-hand account of how relationships, humour, and small routines become survival tools under pressure Specific, memorable detail from a captivity experience that audiences will repeat to colleagues afterwards Reflection on what hope is, and what it is not, when the timeline is unknown

Why organisations work with Jonny Benjamin He brings a globally tracked story (the Find Mike campaign reached more than 319 million people) into a corporate room without it becoming a tribute act. The point is what changed in the bystander, not the bridge. He has built two of the institutions he speaks about. Beyond, the youth mental health charity, and This Can Happen, the workplace conference, are not anecdotes; they are operating organisations he co-founded. He pairs lived clinical experience of schizoaffective disorder with a public campaigning record recognised by Rethink Mental Illness (first Janey Antoniou Award) and an MBE for suicide prevention. That combination changes how senior audiences listen. His material works as a managerial primer, not a memoir reading. Audiences leave with a clearer sense of what to say in the first ninety seconds when a colleague signals they are not okay. Biography highlights Awarded an MBE in 2017 for services to mental health and suicide prevention. Founder of Beyond, a youth mental health charity established in 2018 funding interventions in UK schools and colleges. Co-founder of This Can Happen, the workplace mental health conference launched in 2017. First recipient of the Janey Antoniou Award from Rethink Mental Illness (2013) for campaigning on severe mental illness. Co-author with Britt Pfluger of “The Stranger on the Bridge” (Pan Macmillan, 2018, foreword by HRH The Duke of Cambridge) and “The Book of Hope: 101 Voices on Overcoming Adversity” (Pan Macmillan, 2021). Subject of the Channel 4 documentary “The Stranger on the Bridge” (2015), which charted his successful search for Neil Laybourn, the stranger who intervened on Waterloo Bridge in 2008. Biography Most workplace mental health programmes are well written and quietly underused. The policy is in the handbook, the EAP is on the intranet, and the manager who notices a struggling colleague still hesitates to say the first sentence. Jonny Benjamin’s work sits in that hesitation. His own story explains the angle. Diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in his early twenties, he wrote “The Stranger on the Bridge” with Britt Pfluger to chart how he came to be on Waterloo Bridge in 2008 and what the stranger, later identified as Neil Laybourn, actually did in those minutes. The 2014 Find Mike campaign that reunited them reached more than 319 million people and became a Channel 4 documentary the following year. What followed is what makes him useful to serious organisations. He co-founded This Can Happen in 2017, the workplace mental health conference now used by HR and wellbeing leads to benchmark practice, and founded the youth charity Beyond in 2018 to fund early intervention in UK schools. Rethink Mental Illness gave him the first Janey Antoniou Award in 2013; the MBE followed in 2017. In a corporate room he resists the inspirational frame. The talk is closer to a briefing for managers and colleagues on the specific moves that make a workplace one where people speak up early, and the specific failures that keep them quiet. Key speaking topics Workplace mental health and psychological safety Suicide prevention and early intervention Severe mental illness and stigma in the workplace Wellbeing strategy and line-manager capability Youth mental health and the school-to-work transition Storytelling as a tool for cultural change Ideal for CHROs, wellbeing leads and DEI directors building the next iteration of a mental health strategy. Line manager and senior leadership development programmes where the brief is on confidence in difficult conversations. All-staff conferences where the organisation wants a mental health session that engages the room without slipping into platitude. Education sector audiences (schools, universities, sector bodies) addressing youth mental health and pastoral practice. Audience outcomes A direct account of what helped and what did not, from someone with diagnosed severe mental illness rather than a generalist commentator. A clearer sense of the small interventions that change outcomes, drawn from the bystander side of his own story. Practical language for managers and colleagues to use in the first conversation, not the third meeting. A sharper read on why workplace wellbeing programmes underperform and what closes the gap between policy and behaviour. An informed view of youth mental health drawn from Beyond’s grant-making and school work in the UK.

Why organisations work with Jonny Wilkinson A first-person account of what elite pressure does to judgement, body, and identity, drawn from the kick that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup and the years that followed it. Authority on performance and mental health that comes with a CBE, World Rugby Hall of Fame induction, and 91 England caps, not a consultant’s reframing of athlete clichés. A founder’s perspective from One Living, the B Corp drinks business he built around his own recovery, giving the talk commercial substance beyond the sporting story. Long-form work on presence and human potential through the I Am… podcast and two books, which means the content is developed, not improvised on stage. Biography highlights 91 caps for England, two British and Irish Lions tours, scorer of the drop goal that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup final against Australia. BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2003; IRB International Player of the Year 2003; OBE 2003; CBE 2015. Inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame in 2016. Author of Jonny: My Autobiography and Tackling Life, the latter co-authored with long-time mentor Steve Black. Founder of One Living, a B Corp certified kombucha and functional drinks business stocked nationally in Tesco. Host of the I Am… With Jonny Wilkinson podcast, in conversation with thought leaders on performance, presence and mental health since 2022. Biography The drop goal that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup is one of the most replayed sporting moments in British memory. The man who struck it spent the next decade trying to explain to himself why it did not feel like the answer. Wilkinson’s body broke down through repeated injury, and the perfectionism that had driven the career became the thing he had to dismantle to live well. That second act is what gives his speaking content its weight. He writes and talks about presence, fear, and the relationship between high performance and mental health, drawing on his own recovery rather than secondhand frameworks. Tackling Life, written with his long-time mentor Steve Black, set the early ground. The I Am… podcast, running since 2022, has extended it into a body of conversation with global thinkers on potential and self-awareness. The credentials are not in doubt. 91 England caps, two Lions tours, the 2003 BBC Sports Personality award, the 2003 IRB International Player of the Year, an OBE the same year, a CBE in 2015, and induction into the World Rugby Hall of Fame in 2016. As a founder he has built One Living, a B Corp certified drinks brand born directly out of his own work on gut health, mental health and recovery. For a corporate audience, the value sits in the honesty about what elite pressure costs and how composure is rebuilt afterwards. The story is recognisable to anyone responsible for performance under public scrutiny, and the takeaways are practical rather than motivational. Key speaking topics Performing under pressure Mental health and recovery after high performance Presence and self-leadership Resilience and reinvention after a defining career Founder lessons from One Living Mindset, fear and the cost of perfectionism Ideal for Senior leadership offsites where composure under pressure is the practical theme CHRO and people director audiences focused on mental health, wellbeing and high-performing cultures Sales kickoffs and annual conferences seeking a credible performance keynote with intellectual depth Awards dinners, panel moderation and after-dinner appearances where rugby authority and on-stage authenticity carry the room Audience outcomes A grounded account of what perfectionism and fear do to performance at the top, and how that pattern is changed Specific habits Wilkinson uses for presence, focus and recovery, drawn from his own practice rather than a generic framework A reframing of mental health as a leadership capability, not an HR concern Permission to talk openly about the gap between visible success and private cost

Why organisations work with Juan Campoo A proprietary, named model. The Mind Canvas gives audiences a concrete mental framework rather than a list of wellbeing tips, which is what makes the content stick after the keynote. Recognised practitioner credibility. Best Wellness Coach 2023 at the CoachAwards is an external mark from a coaching-industry body, not self-applied bureau language. Useful for both populations. The same underlying model has been adapted for general employee audiences (“Accelerate Your Inner Development”) and for people leaders (“Accelerate The Leader Within”), so HR can run a coherent programme across cohorts. A practitioner voice, not an academic one. Campoo built the work after his own burnout in a corporate role, which gives the room a different register from a researcher presenting findings. Trilingual delivery. Working in English, Spanish and Dutch makes him unusually portable for European employee programmes that span sites. Biography highlights Author of The Mind Canvas: A Revolutionary Approach to Personal Mastery (2022), an Amazon best-seller, with a contribution from values-based leadership author Richard Barrett. TEDx speaker on personal development and wellbeing. Best Wellness Coach 2023, CoachAwards. Developer of the Mind Canvas method, applied in keynotes, workshops and one-to-one coaching. Works in English, Spanish and Dutch across European corporate audiences. Based in The Netherlands; born and raised in Argentina. Biography Workplace wellbeing programmes have a credibility problem. They consume budget, generate engagement-survey questions, and rarely change how a stressed manager actually responds at 4pm on a Thursday. The gap is not effort, it is that most interventions never reach the level of how people regulate their own thinking under pressure. This is the territory Juan Campoo works in. His Mind Canvas method, set out in his 2022 Amazon best-seller The Mind Canvas: A Revolutionary Approach to Personal Mastery, gives audiences a single visual model for understanding how thoughts, emotions and behaviours interact, and what to do with that understanding in real working conditions. Richard Barrett, the values-based leadership author, contributed to the book. Campoo’s authority on this comes from practice rather than theory. He hit burnout and depression early in his own corporate career, then spent more than a decade studying mindset and behaviour change and building a coaching and training practice across Europe. The CoachAwards named him Best Wellness Coach in 2023. His two anchor talks, “Accelerate Your Inner Development” and “Accelerate The Leader Within”, apply the same model to two audiences: staff who need better emotional regulation, and leaders whose behaviour shapes whether psychological safety actually exists in their teams. He delivers in English, Spanish and Dutch. Key speaking topics Emotional intelligence at work Mindset and behaviour change Wellbeing and burnout prevention Psychological safety Personal mastery and self-regulation Leadership behaviour and influence Stress and resilience Ideal for HR, People and L&D leads designing wellbeing or emotional intelligence programmes for staff People managers and team leaders working on psychological safety and team behaviour Leadership development cohorts inside European multinationals, particularly multilingual sites Employee conferences and culture days where the brief is practical self-development, not corporate strategy Audience outcomes A working mental model (Mind Canvas) for how thoughts, emotions and behaviour connect Specific daily practices for self-regulation under pressure A clearer view of what psychological safety looks like in everyday team behaviour, not policy Language for talking about stress and burnout that managers can actually use with their teams Renewed individual ownership of wellbeing rather than waiting for the organisation to fix it

Why organisations work with Julie Montagu Four published wellness books with a major UK trade publisher, including Recharge: A Year of Self-Care to Focus on You (Little, Brown, 2018), give her wellbeing material a structured, tested foundation rather than a personal-anecdote frame. She runs a live teaching practice through Whole Self Yoga, including 200-hour teacher training, so the content she delivers to a corporate room is the same content she teaches week to week, not a keynote-only construct. Her cross-cultural vantage point, American by upbringing, English Countess by marriage, makes her an unusual host and after-dinner choice for events that need warmth and storytelling alongside subject expertise. She is an experienced broadcast voice, with royal and heritage commentary credits across BBC and CNN coverage of the Sussex wedding, the Platinum Jubilee, the Queen’s funeral and the Coronation, which translates directly into stage presence and live-event composure. Her academic work on American heiresses of the British Gilded Age, completed as an MA with Distinction at the University of Buckingham, gives her a serious second register for heritage, leadership history and women-in-power conversations. Biography highlights Author of Superfoods, Eat Real Food, Superfoods Superfast and Recharge: A Year of Self-Care to Focus on You, published by Little, Brown / Piatkus. Author of Secrets of an English Country House: A Year at Mapperton, published in 2024. Founder of Whole Self Yoga, including a 200-hour yoga teacher training programme. MA with Distinction in English Country House Studies, University of Buckingham, 2021. Royal and heritage commentator for BBC and CNN across the Sussex wedding, Platinum Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral and the Coronation of King Charles III. Television credits including Bravo’s Ladies of London and Smithsonian Channel’s An American Aristocrat’s Guide to Great Estates. Co-custodian of Mapperton Estate in Dorset alongside Luke Montagu, 12th Earl of Sandwich. Biography Most corporate wellbeing programmes are built by people who have never had to keep one going through a 70-hour week. Julie Montagu is not one of them. She trained and qualified as a yoga teacher and nutrition educator while raising four children, wrote four books with Little, Brown on plant-forward eating and structured self-care, and built Whole Self Yoga, a teaching practice that includes a 200-hour teacher training programme. Recharge, published in 2018, is the title that travels best into corporate rooms. It is built as a month-by-month framework rather than a lifestyle manifesto, which is why it lands with audiences who have heard the wellbeing pitch many times and want something they can actually use on Monday. The second register is heritage. Montagu lives at Mapperton Estate in Dorset, the seat of the Earls of Sandwich, and completed an MA with Distinction at the University of Buckingham on American heiresses of the British Gilded Age. That work fed Secrets of an English Country House: A Year at Mapperton, published in 2024, and a steady run of royal commentary for BBC and CNN across the Sussex wedding, the Platinum Jubilee, the Queen’s funeral and the Coronation. The result is a speaker who can hold a corporate wellbeing keynote with real depth, then host the dinner that follows it with the kind of cross-cultural ease most subject-matter experts cannot offer. For organisations that want both substance and presence, that combination is what makes the booking commercial.

Why organisations work with Justin Roethlingshoefer He brings the performance science used to keep professional hockey players on the ice into the language of P&L, calendar pressure and executive fatigue, with frameworks tested over a fifteen-year career across NCAA and NHL environments. His method starts from individual biological data, including bloodwork, HRV and DNA inputs, so the room leaves with personalised next actions rather than a generic wellness playbook. He has built and runs OWN IT Coaching, which means the content is informed by what is currently working with paying executive clients, not theory drawn from a former career. His book The Power of Ownership gives audiences a structured reference point after the keynote, extending the conversation beyond the event. Biography highlights Founder of OWN IT Coaching, a health and performance company serving founders, executives and corporate teams. Fifteen years in elite sport across NCAA and professional hockey, with strength and performance responsibilities tied to the San Diego Gulls and the Anaheim Ducks organisation. Author of four books, including The Power of Ownership, listed as a USA Today bestseller. Master’s in Human Development with a Sport Performance concentration; postgraduate work in HRV, sleep and recovery science. Host of The OWN IT Show podcast and a regular contributor on SimpliFaster and Muscle & Strength. Featured in Fox News, Esquire, USA Today, LiveScience and Well+Good. Biography The cost of high-performance leadership tends to show up in the body before it shows up in the numbers. Sleep degrades, recovery collapses, decisions get slower and shorter, and the wellbeing programme on the company intranet does not touch any of it. That is the gap Justin Roethlingshoefer’s work addresses. He spent fifteen years inside elite hockey, first in the NCAA and then in the professional system, with strength and performance responsibilities tied to the San Diego Gulls in the AHL and the Anaheim Ducks organisation. His job was to keep human beings playing at their physical ceiling across a punishing season, using data on load, fatigue, sleep and recovery. He brought that operating model out of the locker room and into the office. OWN IT Coaching, the company he founded, applies the same approach to executives, founders and corporate teams. The starting point is individual biology, bloodwork, HRV, wearables and DNA testing, with structured coaching on the back of it. His four books, including the USA Today bestseller The Power of Ownership, set out the underlying argument: health is an ownership decision, and senior leaders who treat it that way protect the asset their organisations depend on most. His sports-science training sits behind everything he says, which is what separates him from the wider wellness category. The case he makes to a senior audience is concrete: the same monitoring that keeps a Stanley Cup contender on the ice can keep a CEO sharp through a year that was not built for human pacing. Key speaking topics Executive health and performance Burnout prevention in senior leadership Sleep, recovery and HRV in high-pressure roles Wearables, biometric data and personalised health Ownership as a personal operating principle Health risk in founder-led and high-growth organisations Team performance and resilience Ideal for CEOs, founders and executive committees carrying sustained operational load CHROs and heads of people designing senior leader wellbeing and retention Leadership offsites and partner retreats in professional services Sales and high-performance teams working under structured pressure Audience outcomes A clear separation between generic wellness advice and the variables that actually move executive performance A working understanding of how sleep, HRV, recovery and load data translate into leadership capacity Personal next actions framed as ownership decisions rather than corporate programme tweaks Language to discuss executive health as an organisational asset with boards and HR A reference framework drawn from The Power of Ownership to extend the conversation after the event

Why organisations work with Kadeena Cox A first-hand account of rebuilding performance from zero after a stroke and an MS diagnosis at 23, then competing at world-record level across two different Paralympic sports. Substantive content on inclusion in elite environments, drawn from founding and running the KC Academy in partnership with the Rapha Foundation and SportsAid. A track record that is publicly verifiable at the highest level of British sport: golds at Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024, plus OBE in 2022. Direct experience of the daily decision-making required when a body and a schedule cannot be relied on, which translates cleanly into leadership audiences operating under sustained uncertainty. Biography highlights Five-time Paralympic gold medallist (Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, Paris 2024) in athletics and cycling First British Paralympian since 1984 to win golds in two different sports at the same Games OBE for services to athletics and cycling (2022); MBE (2017) Founder of the KC Academy, in partnership with the Rapha Foundation and SportsAid Winner, BBC Celebrity MasterChef Series 16 (2021) World record holder, C4 500m time trial Biography The Rio 2016 Paralympics produced an outcome no British athlete had achieved in 32 years. Kadeena Cox won gold in two different sports at the same Games, in T38 400m athletics and C4-5 500m cycling, two years after a stroke and a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at the age of 23. The cycling time was faster than any able-bodied Team GB rider had produced at an Olympic or Paralympic Games. Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 added further golds, including a world record in the C4 500m time trial and a team sprint title alongside Jaco van Gass and Jody Cundy. The arc matters less for the medal count than for what it required operationally: training programmes built around a condition that does not behave predictably, and a competitive schedule that had to absorb that reality without losing edge. In 2021 Cox founded the KC Academy, which works with SportsAid and is supported by the Rapha Foundation to identify and fund cyclists from ethnically diverse backgrounds entering the British high-performance pathway. She is the only Black British cyclist to have won Olympic or Paralympic gold, and the Academy is her response to the structural reasons that statistic exists. Her speaking work draws on both strands: the discipline of competing when the body is unreliable, and the institutional work of changing who gets to be in the room at elite level. She was appointed OBE in 2022 for services to athletics and cycling, having received the MBE in 2017.
