Owen spoke to an audience of 1K + people at our business event in Birmingham. His content and engagement were fantastic. His session was by far the standout session of the day, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

Owen ran a series of interactive mental wellbeing sessions for Vodafone staff. The feedback from these sessions was incredible. I still regularly get colleagues talking about them today.

The audience’s responses to Owen’s UK wide theatre talks on the High-Performance live shows was incredible. He delivered relevant and insightful content in an engaging way which had the audience both laughing and deep in thought.  We hope to work with Owen again on future projects.

Benefits to employers or organisations:

Increased productivity; the Centre for Mental Health estimates that stress cost businesses at least £35 billion in 2018.

Cost savings; a Forbes study found that 50% of sick days are linked to stress.

Increased creativity and a happier motivated work force.

 

Speaker Style

Owen’s style is warm, engaging and informative; he manages to capture the attention of everyone in the room. He does not shy away from documenting his personal struggles, be it grief, devastation, or his battle to come to terms with his own sexuality. This vulerability makes his talks highly engaging, and relatable.

Owen avoids jargon and academia, instead using workshops and his own experiences to highlight the importance of prioritising a happy, healthy mind.

There is always a long line of people waiting to talk to Owen after one of his talks, eager to gain an even more detailed insight into how a healthy mind can improve your daily life.
