Jon Bockelmann-Evans shows leaders how to use simple emotional health principles to restore dysfunctional teams and optimise their performance.
When testicular cancer ballsed up Jon’s early career as a member of Wales’ most successful Welsh- language heavy metal group, he rebuilt himself by becoming a physiotherapist, a psychotherapist and a workplace mediator.
He then helped thousands of people in both the NHS and private practice before taking his unique blend of physiology, psychology and personal development practices into the corporate world. Now with more than 1,000 keynotes under his belt, he’s proud to have worked with some of the world’s most recognised names, including Nike, Dow, and EE, all of whom booked him multiple times in the UK and internationally.
Jon’s message is clear: emotional health is the foundation of successful teams. It drives collaboration, trust and team efficacy – and yet emotional health is routinely overlooked, or lumped in as part of mental health or emotional intelligence. Through his engaging and interactive keynotes, Jon confounds perceptions, showing leaders how to easily understand their own emotional needs and equips them with simple, practical tools to rebuild trust, restore team function and amplify productivity.
The impact is immediate. Delegates recognise their struggles in Jon’s stories creating multiple lightbulb moments whilst laughing with colleagues, and leave with techniques they can use right away. The result? Less stress, more energy, stronger focus, and teams that work better together.
Bookers choose Jon because he blends professional authority with warmth, empathy, and entertainment with an easy going ‘can do’ attitude.
He doesn’t just talk emotional health – he activates it in the room. Audiences walk out lighter, more confident, and ready to restore teams and workplaces to top-tier function which is why Jon has become a trusted voice for organisations that want immediate results, lasting positive change and all the associated benefits.
If you want a keynote speaker who will make your leaders laugh, unclench (yes!), and learn team restoring strategies that stick long after the event, Jon Bockelmann-Evans is the speaker for you.
A high-functioning team isn’t built on perks, personality tests or away days – it’s built on emotional health. In this keynote, Jon reveals the eight core emotional needs that drive every human interaction and shows leaders how to meet them in practical, positive ways that transform team performance. Audiences learn why emotional health is the hidden engine behind trust, collaboration and consistent delivery – and how small, repeatable behaviours can unlock peak performance across the organisation.
Every team hits friction – but unresolved emotional needs turn friction into full-blown dysfunction. This keynote gives leaders and teams a practical roadmap for repairing damaged relationships, restoring safety and rebuilding trust. Jon demonstrates how conflict, when understood through an emotional-health lens, becomes a powerful source of clarity, honesty and growth. Attendees leave with tools they can use immediately to defuse tension, reconnect people and turn emotional strain into organisational strength.
Wellbeing has become overcomplicated – but it doesn’t need to be. In this energising and often funny session, Jon strips wellbeing back to what actually works: fast, simple emotional-health resets that anyone can use, anytime. Audiences discover why laughter is the quickest route to restoring wellbeing, how to meet emotional needs in micro-moments, and why “instant wellbeing” is not only possible but essential in high-pressure workplaces. Expect science, stories, and practical techniques people use before they’ve even left the room.
Great leadership isn ’t just strategy – it’ s emotional impact. In this keynote, Jon shows leaders how emotional health shapes trust, morale, behaviour and performance more powerfully than any management tactic. Attendees learn how emotionally healthy leaders can motivate without pressure, correct without conflict, and inspire teams to take ownership. With engaging stories and proven frameworks, Jon equips leaders with the superpower that sets high-performing cultures apart: understanding and meeting the emotional needs of their people.
Jon helped us build stronger teams, delivering in a fun, energising way through a very thoughtful framework combined with extremely practical hands-on tools. Highly recommended.
Jon’s work with our leaders formed part of our submission which resulted in EE being named in the Sunday Times Top 25 Best Big Companies to Work For. Thank you so much.
