Dr. Paul Taylor Speaking Topics

  • The Hardiness Effect

    Why would you aspire to be ‘resilient’ when human beings are capable of so much more? In this thought-provoking talk, Dr. Paul Taylor will explore the human stress response and how developing high levels of Hardiness enables you to adapt positively to the inevitable challenges that life throws at you and ultimately emerge stronger and better. The talk will then go through a range of evidence-based rituals that integrate and optimise the mind, body and brain to move you up the Hardiness continuum. This keynote can be adapted and personalized for 3 groups: The Hardy Leader, The Hardy Salesperson and The Hardy Individual.

    Note – a breathwork masterclass can be added to this keynote.

  • Wellbeing – A Biopsychosocial Approach

    Western medicine has historically employed a reductionist, dualistic, biomedical model, where there is no role for the mind in physical ailments. This notion is slowly being challenged by the emergence of a new Biopsychosocial approach, which recognizes the body-brain connection and the impact of both psychological and social factors in both wellness and disease. In this stimulating talk, Dr. Paul Taylor will examine the Body-Brain connection through a review of Placebo science and explore the impact of exercise, sleep, nutrition, gut health, resilience and social connectedness on overall physical and mental wellbeing.
