KEYNOTE SPEAKING
Inspiring Change Through Lived Experience
Keith draws on his own lived experience to inspire a shift in how people think about mental health, adversity, and recovery.
He challenges audiences to reframe their response to life’s inevitable challenges, develop a mindset of resilience, and understand that recovery isn’t just possible — it’s achievable.
Each keynote is crafted in consultation with the client organisation to ensure relevance and resonance. No two audiences are the same, and Keith’s tailored approach ensures that every message meets your expectations and speaks directly to your people. His clients’ testimonials speak volumes.
