Stress Awareness Month
April is Stress Awareness Month, the perfect time to pause, reflect, and find better ways to manage the pressures we face at work and at home. Stress is something we all deal with, but that doesn’t mean we have to let it take over our lives.
At Inspirational Speakers, we know how tough stress and burnout can be, both personally and professionally. That’s why we work with a fantastic range of speakers who specialise in stress management and resilience-building—helping individuals and teams not just cope, but thrive.
Bringing in an expert speaker is a great way to start the conversation, offering practical advice, fresh perspectives, and inspiring stories that can make a real difference. Whether you’re looking to support your team’s wellbeing, improve workplace culture, or simply learn new ways to handle stress, we’ve got speakers who can help.
Check out our selection of speakers for Stress Awareness Month below – and if you’d like any recommendations, we’re always happy to help!

Dr Philippa Kaye
Dr Philippa Kaye is a GP, author, journalist and mother. This means that she is busy, really busy and while others may dream of long indulgent weekends, she dreams of a lie in until 8.30am – that extra hour and a half makes all the difference, ask any parent! Philippa is one of those irritating clichés, she really did always want to be a doctor, apart from a very brief spell of aspiring to be a ballerina (also a cliché, sorry). But she has always been fascinated by science and by people and medicine is a career which thankfully combines the two.
