Biography

Jon Bockelmann-Evans is a keynote speaker, trainer, and consultant who specialises in emotional health – the overlooked but essential foundation of wellbeing, resilience, peak performance and feeling good about life.

As a qualified physiotherapist and psychotherapist, Jon spent more than 20 years helping thousands of people improve both their physical and emotional health in the NHS and private practice. This professional grounding gives his talks a rare mix of scientific credibility, psychological insight, and practical application. Prior to that he played for Wales’ most successful Welsh-language heavy rock band, travelling the world and making multiple national TV appearances, including playing live on Blue Peter in 1989 – so he’s no stranger to the stage.

More recently Jon has worked with global organisations including Nike, Dow, Merck, and EE, showing leaders and teams how to strengthen emotional health so they can manage stress, handle setbacks, and perform under pressure. His central message is simple yet powerful: being emotionally healthy gives us the best chance of enjoying a life that works.

Jon’s approach combines clinical expertise, psychology, and science with a delivery style that is engaging, interactive, and very memorable. Delegates don’t just listen – they experience powerful demonstrations of how to shift emotional states, build resilience and improve their wellbeing in real time.

Whether delivering a conference keynote, running workshops, or advising boards, Jon equips organisations with tools to create cultures of emotional health – where individuals thrive, teams perform, and businesses succeed.

“I’d strongly suggest you connect with Jon, have an intake call with him and deeply discuss your needs and desired outcomes - you won’t be disappointed.” HR Country Lead, Nike
“The feedback was the best we’ve had from any external speaker. You surpassed expectations and made a real impact, thank you!” Global Strategy Leader, Dow
“I have attended and organised many conferences, and I can honestly say Jon stands out as one of the best speakers we’ve used” Chief Executive, Institute of Paralegals
