Becoming Stress Fit
Why would you aspire to be ‘resilient’ when human beings are capable of so much more? In this thought-provoking talk, Paul will explore the human stress response and how developing high levels of Stress Fitness enables you to adapt positively to the inevitable challenges that life throws at you and ultimately emerge stronger and better. The talk will then go through a range of evidence-based rituals that integrate and optimise the mind, body and brain to move you up the Stress Fitness continuum. This keynote can be adapted and personalised for 3 groups: The Stress-Fit Leader, The Stress-Fit Salesperson and The Stress-Fit Individual.

Behaviour change is a much-studied concept, but still remains the elusive holy grail for many people, who know what to do but aren’t doing it. In this keynote talk, Paul will explore change from a neuroscience perspective, examine the science of habits, and present a model of behaviour change that he has formulated over the years and successfully used successfully with thousands of individuals to help them close the knowing-doing gap.
