Speaking Topics

Ideas that make organisations rethink everything.

Every talk is tailored. These are the core ideas Stuart brings — grounded in clinical research, field-tested in schools and boardrooms alike.

Talk to Stuart about your event
01

Fear as Data

Why capable people feel like they're falling behind — and what the neuroscience of safety tells us about building genuinely resilient, high-performing teams.

Keynote
02

Beyond Wellness Slogans

What organisations consistently get wrong about psychological safety — and the practical difference between talking about wellbeing and actually building it into culture.

Keynote / Workshop
03

The Manager in the Middle

Middle managers carry the greatest mental health burden in most organisations. This session gives them the language, tools, and confidence to respond — not just refer.

Workshop
04

Calm is Not the Goal

Reframing regulation as choice rather than suppression — the talk that challenges how the self-help industry has misdefined recovery and what genuine emotional agility looks like.

Keynote
05

The Anxious Workforce

A strategic overview for HR and people leaders on the scale of anxiety in the modern workplace, and a practical model for organisation-wide response that goes beyond EAP referrals.

Corporate Programme
Stuart's Legacy

The STILL Method.
Built to reach everyone.

Stuart's corporate work is grounded in something most speakers cannot claim — a framework he built, tested, and scaled himself. The STILL Method is an accredited, internationally-used anxiety coaching system now embedded in schools, care settings, and organisations across the UK.

Every workshop Stuart runs draws on fifteen years of clinical practice and the same structured thinking that coaches and teachers use every day. This is not a speaker with a theory. It is a founder who built proof.
