This year, we welcomed Jon Bockelmann-Evans, an inspirational speaker and an expert on wellbeing, emotional health, and managing life’s challenges as our keynote speaker.

The session was practical and uplifting experience, and included tools to actively cultivate joy and resilience.

Jon introduced simple, memorable, and highly practical techniques (including therapeutic laughter and breathwork), that can be used in the moment to regulate the nervous system and boost mood.

About the speaker

Jon Bockelmann-Evans has run over 1,000 training courses and presented keynotes at more than 100 conferences to in excess of 40,000 delegates in the UK, Europe, and the US. His previous clients include Nike, Dow, Merck, EE, hundreds of schools in the UK, SMEs, businesses, and many public sector organisations.

Jon’s work is informed by his knowledge of physiology, psychology, and personal development, as well as his clinical experience as a physiotherapist, psychotherapist, and workplace mediator.

During the pandemic, Jon discovered the power of using laughter as a form of exercise to manage his mood, mindset, and physical health. He particularly enjoys bringing the many health and social benefits of laughter to under-represented and marginalised groups in society, such as those with chronic health conditions, disabilities, and the elderly.

Jon’s keynotes are notable for their immediate and lasting impact on delegates, with many citing them as being a transformational experience. He is committed to helping people take control of their mood, wellbeing and ability to cope with the inevitable challenges that come everyone’s way from time to time.
