WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Adam's greatest strength is his authenticity. His enthusiasm is not rehearsed or forced - it is true to his personality and it is impossible not to be affected by his strong presence. Our attendees ranged in age from early 20′s to late 60′s, and they are all "hardened lawyers" - a tough crowd! Adam connected with each and every one of them, using a combination of humour, humility and inspiration. Weeks after the event, people are still talking about the retreat and Adam's role in showing us how it takes different players to form an effective team. His message that it is only through failure that we can find ultimate success. That we need to move past our comfort zone, was particularly resonant. In fact, several attendees were so impressed by Adam's presentation that they prepared a follow up seminar called: "What I learned from Adam" - this is unprecedented, and a tribute to the impact he had upon us, both individually and as an organization." "Would we recommend Adam? Without reservation! His story is credible, relatable and his impact is tangible. Truly a Gold Medal performance!"- Partner, Chair of Retreat Committee, Bull, Housser & Tupper LLP

"Alison joined us for the final day of our annual three day off site meeting to help us focus on personal development. Alison’s session was at once practical in terms of steps we can take to balance home life and work life, but in truth it delivered much more...introspection, self-reflection, emotion and motivation. It was real, tapped into our investment in our people in a genuine way and allowed us to look at our development as people rather than employees. It hit exactly the right note and at the right time. I would highly recommend Alison if you are open to honesty, sincerity and looking after your team beyond what the “job” provides them."

“In a day and age where presentations seem all to plentiful it has become more challenging to find unique and intimate experiences that truly can inspire the pursuit of a dream, a tear and a laugh, and help us each understand what it means to represent something even bigger than we each are and the path to get there. I have had the privilege of seeing Cheryl present to different audiences, from young kids to accomplished professionals, and her level of inspiration and audience engagement is that special touch that is otherwise a missing ingredient for so many. Cheryl represents not only an elite level of accomplished athleticism and winning but at her core message, a heart-felt reminder to us all on the importance of the pursuit and belief in a dream, a vision and to battle through obstacles to achieve it. The medals were earned and her character and integrity of message is natural. Each presentation has ended in a standing ovation with tears throughout. Cheryl is a unique story of someone that achieved excellence built from a dream as a child; had that world taken away from her and had to find a way to battle back to that level of success through nothing short of a commitment to work hard and sacrifice. Cheryl’s message, and perhaps even more so, she individually, will inspire your heart and your own visions.”

F.A.Q.

How much does it cost to hire a mental health speaker in Canada?

How much does it cost to hire a mental health speaker in the United States?
Most USA keynote speakers range from $10,000 to $35,000. Fees vary based on the speaker’s recognition, event location, and whether the presentation is in-person or virtual.
What are the most effective supports for employee mental health?
Research indicates that co-worker support (65%) and manager support (59%) have the strongest positive impact—more than social events (26%) or awareness programs (22%).
How far in advance should we book a mental health speaker?
For popular or high-profile speakers, booking 6 to 12 months in advance is recommended, especially during peak conference seasons like May (Mental Health Awareness Month) or the fall.
What is the difference between a keynote address and a workshop?
Keynotes are typically 60-minute high-impact presentations designed to inspire and shift perspectives. Workshops are 90-minute to full-day sessions that focus on “how-to” training and interactive skill-building.
Can speakers provide virtual or hybrid presentations?
Yes. Most of our roster offers virtual live training or hybrid formats. Virtual presentations remove geographic barriers and eliminate travel expenses for the organizer.
What is the measurable ROI of mental health speaking events?
According to Deloitte, there is a return of $1.62 for every $1 invested in workplace mental health. Proactive training can reduce burnout-related productivity losses by up to $3,400 per employee annually.
What credentials should I look for in a mental health speaker?
To ensure evidence-based content, look for “hard” authority signals such as PhD or MBA designations, registered clinical psychology status, or published books from reputable houses.
Can speakers customize their content for specific industries?
Yes. Experts like Corey Hirsch and Michelle Cederberg utilize pre-event briefings to align their messaging with your organization’s specific burnout data and culture.
