A global TEDx speaker, psychotherapist, author, and CEO of mental health consultancy PVL, she brings expertise on topics that impact employees, managers and C-suite leadership with the aim of evolving our workplaces and cultures for the new world of work. The future of work is a hot topic which Petra speaks on with passion and excitement, complimenting the narratives around AI and enhancing this debate by bringing people into the forefront! With a new angle on wellbeing, her focus on mental health and resilience in a world of change is one that challenges ‘bubble bath wellbeing’ and instead focuses on positive psychology, elite performance, and creating dynamic teams that you will retain as they grow and evolve together - creating a future of work that is good for our health and sustainable for long term success. Speaking on global stages she sees the challenges that exist across Europe, the UK, USA, Middle East, and Asia including rising statistics of burnout, anxiety, depression, addiction and suicide. These are only part of the issues facing the workplace as they tackle an economic downturn, long term absence, employee health challenges and attrition and retention as they experiment with a hybrid office – struggling to enhance belonging and connection. Leaders are worried about asking the wrong questions and so they say nothing at all, secretly struggling to manage their own workload and mental health in the process. Petra offers practical answers to these questions giving leaders skills they can utilise today to help them lead by example in modelling healthy behaviours, showing vulnerability and offering inspiration and motivation to their people to enable them to thrive. Petra is the author of ‘Begin with You’ published by Kogan Page, a practical insight into thriving in adversity and challenging toxicity, groupthink and culty behaviours in a world that is desperate for change.

Beyond his academic and outdoor pursuits, David enjoys exploring hobbies that enrich his life. He has a profound interest in automobiles, tracing the evolution of car technology from classic to contemporary models, and actively participates in restoration projects. Additionally, his trip to Guatemala, where he was adopted at a young age, profoundly influenced his understanding of his cultural identity.
