Description
Mitch Wallis wellbeing speaker sessions come from one of the world’s leading voices in psychology and emotional wellbeing. His mission is to help one billion people become more mentally healthy through education, storytelling and connection.
What a Mitch Wallis wellbeing speaker session covers
After seven years at Microsoft, Mitch left a thriving corporate career to dedicate himself to transforming mental health. He draws on a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University. In addition, he draws on two decades of lived experience with anxiety, depression and OCD. As a result, he bridges science with humanity to make mental wellness practical, powerful and personal. Overall, his work centres on three pillars: human connection, emotional fortitude and mindful high performance.
Keynote themes: connection and resilience
In Real Conversations, Mitch redefines what genuine human connection looks like. Specifically, he teaches audiences to sit with others in need rather than rush to fix them. His proprietary Real Conversations framework has been adopted by some of the world’s largest companies. Through it, audiences learn to recognise the difference between helpful and unhelpful conversations. They also learn to avoid common mistakes that fracture connection and apply proven tools to build trust.
In Toward the Pain, Mitch provides a blueprint for emotional strength. Nearly half of us will experience a mental health issue in our lifetime, so this keynote shows how to double nervous system capacity and cultivate resilience. Through personal storytelling and evidence based tools, Mitch helps audiences normalise struggle and dissolve stigma. As a result, he shares resilience tools that strengthen emotional fortitude, along with practical habits for wellbeing.
Mitch has combined scholarship, entrepreneurship and advocacy to create lasting impact on a global scale. For example, he founded Heart On My Sleeve, one of the world’s most influential mental health movements. He also advises the United Nations on youth mental health, and he serves as first ambassador for the Australia and New Zealand Mental Health Association. Consequently, his work has earned him the Man of Impact Award from GQ Magazine and a place among B&T’s Top 10 Social Changemakers.
He has delivered keynotes and executive workshops on four continents, presenting to Amazon, Google, KPMG and American Express. Meanwhile, his videos have reached millions worldwide, winning Most Inspiring Mental Health Video of the Year.
