"I recently interviewed Stephen as part of our Ignition Go programme for Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail for our expert guest series. Stephen touched so many people speaking about his personal journey and especially around the topics of burnout and mental health.
He shared a lot around his personal story with true integrity and great dignity. He really resonated with many people in the audience and made topics like resilience and mindfulness accessible to all. In essence he demonstrated perfectly how practising those mindful moments can put light into darkness and how we can all make our busy lives more enjoyable.
I heartily recommend Stephen to any group or organisation that may be looking for a guest speaker or a mindfulness teacher.”

CEO Ignition Go Health, Ireland
Stephen held a talk to our colleagues in Canada Life Europe on World Mental Health Day.
I can highly recommend Stephen as a speaker on mental health and mindfulness. He spoke very openly about his own mental health journey. His real life examples were easy to relate to and Stephen reached many colleagues with his words. He also conveyed some mindfulness tools and techniques that anyone can apply and completed one exercise with the audience.
The event was a hybrid event so we had participants in the room and dialled in online and Stephen managed to capture them all. With his openness, Stephen set a great tone for an open conversation about mental health among colleagues. His key message "You are not alone and its ok to ask for help." resonated with many.
