Do you feel you fit in with the groups around you? Whether in the workplace or in our social lives, feeling that we belong is a key element of mental and physical wellbeing.

This session explores the impact of authenticity in the workplace, compared with ‘masking’ parts of who we are. We’ll use lived experience along with research and resources which we can use to support ourselves and those around us, to increase their sense of belonging.

“Thank you Tom, your session was brilliant. We already received amazing feedback from employees thanking us for organising and they are saying they learnt a lot from you today! We would like to continue in touch with you to run more sessions in the future.”

  • Maria Randazzo - Senior Facilities Manager, EMEA, BlackLine

Hi, I'm Tom

Whether you’re looking for workshops, training or a wellbeing strategy for your organisation, or some individual 1:1 support, I look forward to finding out how I can help you.

You’ll find I’m passionate about mental health, wellbeing, personal development & empowering others.

My style is friendly, accessible and professional, combining lived experience, professional knowledge, & high quality teaching and training skills.

After extensive experience within Business, Education, Leadership & Psychology I set up my own business to support people with wellbeing, personal development and mental health.

As a lifelong learner and educator, I work with individuals & organisations to increase awareness of these topics, working to embed both individual and team skills that help safeguard people’s wellbeing, prevent future problems and enable them to thrive.

Wellbeing & Mindfulness are topics which intrigue many people, but there is a lot of either low quality or repetitive information floating around about them - If you're looking for a more engaging, different, real-life introduction to what they are and how they can make our lives and work better, that's what I offer.

My background as an education specialist and school leader enables me to engage an audience and deliver key learning points in a very accessible way.

I've delivered interesting and engaging talks to many different groups of people in a variety of settings, always with great feedback. Group sizes range from 5-500 people. I am highly experienced at online Zoom delivery, having delivered hundreds of hours of workshops and talks with feedback such as:

“Best virtual course I’ve been in so far”

“ You are a true wellbeing specialist and a very good speaker! We really appreciate the time you spent with us this afternoon. I cannot recommend you enough to those who could also benefit from your very valuable knowledge. Thank you again!”

If you have any questions I'm always more than happy to answer them, just get in touch and let me know. I look forward to hearing from you and putting together a talk that both engages and genuinely helps your team.

Tom
