His talks focus on resilience, mental health, and overcoming adversity, offering powerful insights into the human spirit’s ability to endure difficult challenges. Through sharing his journey, Clive has become a sought-after speaker, helping audiences recognise the importance of mental well-being and how to navigate life’s struggles with strength and grace.
Clive’s early career began with three years in the Royal Air Force, followed by seventeen years working for the Ministry of Defence. During this time, he specialised in industrial relations and gained qualifications in employment law and occupational health and safety. However, his career took a transformative turn when personal health challenges led him to a deeper understanding of mental health. After being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and stage two prostate cancer in 2017, along with losing both parents, Clive’s battle with these illnesses highlighted the crucial role of mental resilience. He realised his passion for supporting others facing similar challenges, which led him to pivot towards speaking and advocating for mental health.
In recent years, Clive has achieved significant milestones in his speaking career. He has been featured at prominent events, such as CarFest, and worked with major organisations including Ecolab, Tindall Riley & Co, and HM Prison Service. His personal story, filled with struggle, loss, and recovery, has left a lasting impact on a wide range of audiences, from corporate teams to schools. Clive’s ability to connect emotionally with his listeners, coupled with his expertise in resilience, makes him an exceptional speaker. His presentations encourage others to embrace vulnerability, face adversity head-on, and build a positive outlook despite difficult circumstances.
Clive is hired for his ability to engage and inspire diverse audiences, offering not only a moving personal story but also practical advice on how to cultivate mental resilience. His unique perspective on overcoming challenges and maintaining mental health has made him a valuable resource for organisations and communities seeking to foster a culture of understanding and support. Whether in a corporate setting or a school environment, Clive’s talks leave a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to hear him speak.
