Mental health problems affect one in four people globally. That’s 1.9 billion people around the world struggling with issues affecting their mental wellness. The chances are, there are people within your organisation who are struggling right now. They might be facing feelings of stress, anxiety or depression, a lack of motivation or confidence, or they might be trying to recover from a behavioural or substance addiction.
But because psychological struggles are hidden deep beneath the surface, and because people rarely talk about their mental wellness openly and honestly, it can be difficult to give people the support they need to overcome these issues. That’s why Alex offers a range of corporate wellness services, including mental health talks and talks about addiction. Through motivational and inspirational mental health talks, Alex can help your whole workforce become inspired to make mindset and lifestyle changes to improve their mental wellness and overall wellbeing. When it comes to wellbeing, there’s always room for improvement. So his talks aren’t just relevant to those experiencing mental health difficulties — he will get everyone thinking and reflecting on their mental wellness.
Alex teaches people that it’s okay to talk about mental health and spark deep, honest and impactful conversations between colleagues, boosting employee morale and helping you create a happier, more connected workforce. By raising awareness about mental health and addiction, Alex will work with you to create a workplace and company culture that supports employees’ mental wellbeing.
As well as motivating your employees and helping them find freedom from mental health issues, his talks also have a range of benefits for your business. People perform better at work when they’re not struggling with mental health problems — they’re more productive, resilient and they have improved mental clarity. They can get more done and to a higher standard, and they’re able to respond to challenges with a positive, go-getting mindset.
Plus, with a supportive company culture that promotes health and happiness, employees will not only feel better in themselves, but they’ll also feel more satisfied at work. As a result, you can benefit from improved retention and decreased employee absenteeism, saving your business costs on sick pay, cover and recruitment. And because happiness is contagious, employees who find joy in their work will plant a smile on the faces of other colleagues and customers.

"Alex came to talk to some of our team as part of a series of events to promote positivity. Not only is his story extremely moving and inspirational, but he cleverly tailored the speech to tie in with our overall theme of positivity within the workplace. Team members were touched by how frank Alex was in telling his narrative, and motivated by his determination. The message he portrayed was very relevant and the overall experience of the talk was inspiring, thought provoking and beneficial to all employees."
"Alex was one of our TEDx speakers in March 2019 for our recent TEDxUoChester event, The Future Works!. Alex delivered a thought-inspiring and provoking talk about your journey to your future self. His talk left the audience stunned and helped them see how to connect emotionally with themselves and those around them. In my years of organising events and conferences, I have never come across a speaker who got the entire audience to meditate. An unforgettable talk that will almost certainly have an impact on anyone who views it."
"Alex was definitely an inspiring motivational speaker – he really captured the boys’ attention and had a lovely manner with them. He was totally honest with them and gave ‘from the heart’ advice without being condescending. I was very impressed that he managed to get them all to close their eyes and picture themselves in different scenarios – at first there was some giggling but he quickly dealt with it with minimal fuss."
“Alex came in to our secondary school to speak for a KS4 assembly for our Mental Illness awareness week. Alex has a fantastic energy that both interested and appealed to the students especially when discussing the struggles and successes of celebrities. Alex has a positive attitude and friendly character and our students felt comfortable to ask questions both in front of other class mates and once the session ended.”
“The public speaker should be hired on as an EFL coach! One of the best sessions I’ve attended in the nearly 21 years I’ve been here. Wow!"
“Absolutely amazing! Alex's transparency and vulnerability gave weight to his words. Through his story, he connected with all of us to teach how we can love ourselves better!"
“ OMG!! Alex was so awesome. Is there anyway to get a copy of this talk to share with other family members?"
