KEYNOTE 01

The Wellness Paradox

We are more wellness-aware than ever. So why are we more exhausted than ever?

About this keynote

We are more wellness-aware than ever before. We have the apps, the programs, the initiatives, and the intentions. And yet people are more exhausted, more overwhelmed, and more disconnected than at any point in recent history. This keynote challenges the assumption that more wellness is the answer, and asks a more uncomfortable question: what if the way we've been sold wellness is part of what's making us unwell?

What your audience will walk away with:

Understand why investing more in wellness initiatives isn't producing the results individuals or organisations are looking for.
Recognise the paradox at the heart of modern wellness; the harder we chase it, the further away it feels.
Explore how wellness has become another thing to optimise, perform, and measure, and why that's making things worse.
Discover what sustainable wellbeing looks like when it's designed into how we live and work, not bolted on as an extra.
Leave with a reframe that shifts how you. and your organisation, think about what it means to be well.
