What’s different?

Steve’s passion is for integrating the many strands that contribute to people’s wellbeing in life and work – and his eclectic and engaging presentations are peppered with poetry, wisdom and insights from psychology, science, organisational development and the arts.

Steve is not a motivational expert with a seven-point programme, nor a new-age guru offering enlightenment – rather his work is grounded in both real life and profound psychological insight. In his new course and talk – a wellbeing practice - he describes how everyone can build an integrated programme of wellbeing that draws on a wide range of tried and tested tools and practices. Drawing on recent scientific research and insights and intuitions from psychology, philosophy and literature, Steve presents a comprehensive and unique way of looking at wellbeing and happiness.

Steve’s approach is ideal for a keynote at a conference or gathering, a workplace CPD seminar, a personal development workshop or informal evening event. For many years, he has run short and long courses for large organisations – as well as working with individuals and small groups as a psychotherapist.

Talks and themes

All Steve’s talks and workshop are suitable for CPD events, conferences and networking organisations. As well as a wellbeing practice described above, a number of other themes are suggested that can all be adapted to suit your particular event requirements

The secrets of happiness
The title of Steve’s ‘signature talk’ is self-explanatory – this wide-ranging presentation asks what we mean by happiness, and questions some of our assumptions about how we get there. Starts with Alice in Wonderland and takes in ‘positive psychology’, Greek mythology, Jackson Pollock, sanity and madness along the way!

The poet inside
Poetry takes us right into our inner-life – and our values, culture, ideas and imagination. In this talk, Steve shows how poetry goes to the heart of the matter quickly and directly. Not surprisingly Steve uses poetry – his own and that of others – to inspire, move and entertain.

The creative self
Creativity is a cornerstone of human happiness. This talk reflects on how we can all tap into our creative self and begin to experience ‘flow’! The workshop version of this presentation invites people to begin be creative – in whatever way suits them!
