Jay Unwin – Keynote Speaker on Resilience

Jay Unwin is not just a keynote speaker; he’s a storyteller and educator who brings a dynamic blend of personal resilience, academic insight, and even heavy music culture to the world of stress management and resilience training. With a master’s degree in Psychology and a rich background in science education and the fitness industry, Jay’s lived experiences with burnout, cancer, depression, suicide bereavement, and managing chronic stress-related conditions like fibromyalgia all combine to fuel his passionate approach to teaching and speaking.

His keynote talks, ‘Riffs & Resilience’ and ‘Functional Resilience’, showcase his unique method of combining raw energy and multiple disciplines with resilience-building practices to foster personal and professional growth.

Jay’s approach challenges conventional narratives around stress and resilience, offering new, innovative solutions in a volatile world where adapting to stress is not just necessary, but transformative.
