His goal is to transform the lives of one billion people to be more mentally healthy through his educational platforms, inspiring talks, and social impact organizations he’s involved with.

He is the creator of “Real Conversations” – an interpersonal relationship program that transforms workplace culture and family systems toward psychological safety through emotionally intelligent communication skills. He’s delivered workshops to Clevel executives on over four continents. As an accomplished keynote speaker having delivered talks to tens of thousands of people, including some of the most recognized companies in the world, such as American Express, Amazon, Google, KPMG, and dozens more.

He has been an advisor to the United Nations on the topic of youth mental health and won a Man of Impact award by GQ. He was appointed the first-ever ambassador for the Australia and New Zealand Mental Health Association and is currently an expert advisor to the Corporate Mental Health Alliance. He’s been named a Westfield Local Hero and was featured in B&T’s Top 10 Social Changemakers in Australia. He’s been featured in wellbeing campaigns by the likes of Allianz and LinkedIn, and featured in top news publications like Sky News, Huffington Post, and Channel 10’s The Project.

He is accredited in Mental Health First Aid and a trained Lifeline crisis supporter. Wallis runs a popular podcast that has featured guests from Harvard Psychologists, media personalities, and world-class Olympians. His social media videos have reached millions of people, and he received the award for “most inspiring mental health video of the year.”

Wallis also holds a bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the University of Sydney. He is involved with multiple social impact ventures, including Heaps Normal (Australia’s #1 non-alcoholic craft beer), Calm Water stress reduction supplement, and many others.

He shares with us what it means to be human.

    Real Conversations: The counterintuitive approach to being truly supportive, by learning to “sit in the mud.” 5-step proven communication formula that boosts connection skills by up to 400%.

    Healthy relationships are the heartbeat of life, including business. In our day-today interactions with our team and/or coworkers, we are often faced with the confronting reality of supporting people who are going through difficult times. It’s common to feel confused about what to say or do, overcome with fear of getting it wrong, or riddled with guilt that we might make things worse.

  • Supporting Self

    Toward the Pain: Cultivating resilience amidst uncertainty to overcome any obstacle. How to double your nervous system capacity by strengthening your emotional fortitude.

    Why you should book this talk:

    The first step to emotional well-being is to feel understood. In this keynote, Mitch Wallis provides a platform for every person in the room to realize they are not alone. This talk is designed to eradicate stigma and increase awareness and understanding of mental health, fostering a deeper appreciation for the experiences of others that may not be well understood at present.
