Your people are bringing stress to work. Then taking it home again.

They shut down when things get too much.

They avoid the things they know they need to do.

They lose their shit and take it out on the people around them.

This is the circuit I help them break.

So they create safety, not stress. Not just at work, but at home too.

YOUR PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW THEY'RE STRESSED.

They just don't know why.

They know work has been busy. Things at home aren't as good as they were. They're tired, frustrated, under pressure and have a lot going on.

But most people don't realise that they carry stress from one part of life to the next.

A shit morning comes to work with them.

A stressful day goes home with them.

Then something small happens.

Someone at work makes a mistake. Their partner asks why they're grumpy. Their kids don't do as they're told.

And they respond.

They're blunt, aggressive, avoidant and blame everyone but themselves.

Then later, when they've calmed down, they know they probably could've handled it better.

“Why the hell did I do that?”

So they lean on beers, food or trying to make up for it, just to stop feeling so crap.

That's how the stress circuit builds up.
That's how their relationships break down.

Because they just don't know how to stop stress from deciding what they do next.

That's what I help them understand.
That's what I help them break.

So they become someone they're proud of.

Someone who creates safety, not stress. At work and at home.

THE TALK

My most popular talk for the last 5 years. Delivered to 1000's, across some of Australia's largest companies.

Office. Mine sites. Online.

Breaking The Stress Circuit

A 30–90 minute workplace talk that helps your people understand why they're stressed, why they respond the way they do, and how to catch it before they take that stress out on themselves or the people around them.

THEY'LL LEARN:

Where their behaviours start.
How their emotions affect what they think, and what they think affects what they do.

How their brain triggers fight, flight or freeze.
How their brain decides whether something is a threat or reward — and why that changes how they respond.

Why they respond differently under stress.
Why they can become blunt or aggressive, avoid what they need to deal with, or shut down completely.

How the stress circuit builds.
How they carry stress between work and home, and how one response creates more stress for themselves and the people around them.

How to break the stress circuit.
How to catch what's happening before they react, take back control and choose what they do next.

AND I DON'T JUST TEACH IT.

I share parts of my own story — how I spent years surviving in flight mode and how my stress led to hurting the people I was supposed to love.

Not because your people need to hear my life story.

But because I want them to see themselves in it.

And make a change before they make the mistakes I did.

They deserve that.

The people they work with deserve that.

And the people they go home to deserve that.

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOUR PEOPLE?

Breaking the Stress Circuit is for workplaces that want more than someone filling a speaking slot.

It's for organisations that want their people to understand themselves better, take ownership of how they respond under stress, and leave with something they can actually use.

If you're looking for someone to stand up, tick a box and tell everyone to “look after their mental health,” I'm probably not your guy.

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T
BREAK THE STRESS CIRCUIT.

I ALMOST LOST THE LIFE I WAS SO STRESSED

TRYING TO BUILD.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life.

I've struggled with depression. I've found out I wasn't actually my daughters dad. I've hurt people I loved. And I've spent years trying to escape how I felt instead of understanding it.

But it took nearly losing my life to understand what actually mattered.

I've had strokes and brain bleeds that took away my memory, my speech and my ability to walk.

I couldn't remember my family's names.

My wife was told I might never speak again.

And suddenly, all the things I thought were important weren't.

I just wanted my life back.

I wanted to go home.

I wanted to be with my family.

I wanted another chance to be the husband, dad and person I knew I could be.

I got that chance.

But, like me, a lot of people don't realise what matters until something forces them to.

I don't want your people to need a stroke, a broken relationship or the worst moment of their life to finally stop and look at how they're living.

I want them to understand themselves now.

To catch the stress they're carrying before it becomes a decision they regret.

To be someone the people they love and work with, feel safe being around.
