THE KEYNOTES
Mental Fitness: Tools for Growth and Performance
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
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.
Building Resilience and Navigating Change
Whether it's organisational change, uncertainty or personal setbacks, resilience has become one of the most valuable skills in modern life. The good news? It's not something you're born with, it's something you can build.
Drawing on my expertise in mental fitness and health, this talk explores the science of resilience, why some people thrive under pressure while others burn out, and provides practical, evidence-based tools to help you adapt, recover, and perform at your best.
You’ll learn how to reframe setbacks, build emotional flexibility, and turn uncertainty into opportunity. Because resilience isn’t about avoiding stress, it’s about mastering it.
Men’s Mental Health: Everyone’s Business
Men account for around 75% of all suicides in the UK, yet many still struggle to talk openly about their mental health or seek support when they need it.
Drawing on his own lived experience, years of campaigning and the latest research, Dr Alex George explores the barriers that prevent so many men from asking for help, how workplaces can foster environments where people feel able to speak up sooner, and why supporting men's mental fitness creates healthier teams, stronger leaders and better outcomes for everyone.
Embracing Neurodivergence
Around 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent - yet many still go through life undiagnosed or misunderstood. In this honest and empowering talk, I share my journey as a late-diagnosed neurodivergent individual, exploring what it means to understand and embrace a mind that works differently.
Blending personal story with research and lived experience, this talk unpacks the breadth of neurodivergence and the many ways our brains process the world. We’ll explore masking, stigma, and the everyday challenges faced by neurodivergent people, while also looking at how we can shape workplaces and societies that are more understanding and supportive.
By recognising and supporting neurodivergent minds, we not only reduce barriers, we unlock incredible skills, creativity, and talent.
