Every session is built on fifteen years of clinical practice and the same structured framework that coaches and teachers use in schools, care settings, and organisations across the UK. This is not motivational speaking. It is a genuine shift in how your people understand anxiety, pressure, and what it means to perform well under stress.

What Stuart Delivers
For organisations ready to do
something real.
01
Keynote Speaking
A keynote that challenges how your audience understands anxiety, resilience, and what it means to feel safe at work. Not motivation. A genuine shift in thinking that leaders carry out of the room.
02
Workshops & Programmes
Practical half-day and full-day workshops built on The STILL Method framework. Real tools for managers, HR teams, and people leaders — not theory to file away and forget.
03
Corporate Contracts
For organisations that want more than a one-off. A retained partnership embedding The STILL Method across your workforce through bespoke training, toolkits, and leadership support.
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. Fees on application.

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.

Schools, care settings & organisations
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 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.
