Petra Velzeboer Biography

Petra Velzeboer is a dynamic, entertaining, and practical speaker who is sure to bring life, laughter, and insight to your audience. A global TEDx speaker, psychotherapist, author, and CEO of mental health consultancy PVL, she brings expertise on topics that impact employees, managers, and C-suite leadership to evolve our workplaces and cultures for the new world of work.

The future of work is a hot topic that Velzeboer speaks on with passion and excitement, complementing the narratives around AI and enhancing this debate by bringing people to the forefront! With a new angle on wellbeing, her focus on mental health and resilience in a world of change challenges "bubble bath wellbeing" and instead focuses on positive psychology, elite performance, and creating dynamic teams that you will retain as they grow and evolve together - creating a future of work that is good for our health and sustainable for long term success.

Speaking on global stages, she sees the challenges that exist across Europe, the UK, the USA, the Middle East, and Asia, including rising statistics of burnout, anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide. These are only part of the issues facing the workplace as they tackle an economic downturn, long-term absence, employee health challenges, and attrition and retention as they experiment with a hybrid office – struggling to enhance belonging and connection.

Leaders are worried about asking the wrong questions, so they say nothing at all, secretly struggling to manage their workload and mental health in the process. Velzeboer offers practical answers to these questions, giving leaders skills they can utilize today to help them lead by example in modeling healthy behaviors, showing vulnerability, and offering inspiration and motivation to their people to enable them to thrive.

Velzeboer is the author of "Begin with You," a practical guide to thriving in adversity and challenging toxicity, groupthink, and cult behaviors in a desperate world that demands change.

Her inspiration and motivation come from her unique and compelling story, which she tells with vulnerability, authenticity, and dynamic challenge to her audiences worldwide. Born and raised in a notorious cult, she knows first-hand what a toxic culture feels like and what it takes to build resilience and take responsibility for good mental health. When she finally left the cult, she spiraled into addiction, depression, and anxiety leaving her a desperate suicidal mother of two young children. Hitting several crash points, she finally decided to let go of her victim mindset and begin to build a life that was worth living.

Working with the likes of PwC, Herbert Smith Freehills, Channel 4, Monzo Bank, Novartis, Accenture, Avanade, Eagle Eye, Financial Ombusman, and Havas Lynx group - she translates her story into solutions for teams today including challenging the masks we wear, promoting bravery and building elite teams that can navigate any challenge together.

Petra Velzeboer Speaking Topics

  • Innovation & The New World of Work

    The pandemic turned the world of work on its head, creating shock waves across the globe. This presented a unique opportunity to reevaluate the way we’ve always done work.

    Petra's background of being raised in a notorious cult and seeing many similarities in the world of work today, drives her to challenge outdated work practices and usher in a new way of working.

    In her signature keynote talk, Petra challenges companies to shift their focus and prioritise investment in human capital, wellbeing, and mental health.

    Petra's keynotes are uplifting, moving, funny and challenge audiences to cultivate mentally healthy cultures that promote innovation and sustainable performance for the future of work.

    Petra poses a question that completely changes the way we have viewed work: What if work was good for our mental health, not something we had to recover from afterwards?

  • Adversity to Advantage

    Petra's unique, harrowing, and uplifting story shows audiences that you truly can get through any challenge with the right mindset and approach. Growing up in a notorious cult led her to intense depression, addiction, and hopelessness • ultimately acting as fuel to allow her to build an outstanding life as a speaker, mental health expert, author, and more.

    With humor, entertainment, and practical tools • Petra provides insight into how you can turn your adversity into your biggest advantage.

  • Digital Wellbeing

    It takes 26 minutes to refocus into a flow state every time we get distracted • so are work pressures and lack of time really the challenge or is it our inability to focus on the task that would achieve our greatest potential? Petra offers clear tools for teams and individuals to refocus their attention, boost well-being, and enhance productivity.

  • Workplace Wellness: A New Approach to Leadership and Culture

    With mental health issues on the rise, many organizations are grappling with growing demands and wondering how to sustainably focus and measure the real issues at hand. Petra offers a new angle on boosting wellness and mental health in the workforce, offering practical tools to invest in ourselves and support each other.
