In an age of constant pressure and rapid change, emotional resilience isn’t just a buzzword — it’s an essential life skill. In his engaging talk, John Black guides audiences through the transformative process of strengthening the mind’s ability to respond to stress with calm, clarity, and confidence. Drawing on decades of experience in hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and neuroscience-informed practices, John breaks down how resilient minds are not born — they’re cultivated.
This talk explores the underlying mechanics of emotional reactions and reveals how habitual stress responses can become rewired through intentional mental training. Participants will gain insight into how thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations interact, and how subtle shifts in awareness can build lasting psychological flexibility. John shares practical, evidence-based techniques to manage overwhelm, bounce back from setbacks, and remain grounded in the face of uncertainty.
With warmth and clarity, John empowers listeners to recognise emotional triggers, reduce reactivity, and strengthen inner resources for sustainable wellbeing. Whether you’re facing personal challenges, workplace stress, or daily life demands, this talk offers valuable tools to foster calm, enhance emotional balance, and improve relationships.
