Sean Tolram is a transformational speaker and workplace culture expert who brings science-backed strategies to organisations seeking to improve wellbeing, resilience, and performance. As Founder of My Trained Mind and Mindfulness Programme Manager at HSBC, Sean empowers audiences to reimagine the way they work by integrating the power of mindfulness and neuroscience into everyday organisational life.

With a background in Biotechnology from UCL, Sean began his career in the tech and corporate sectors, working with industry leaders such as IBM, BHS, and HSBC in senior digital leadership roles. However, his corporate journey revealed a growing challenge—workplace stress, burnout, and disengagement. Determined to make a difference, Sean shifted his focus to helping organisations build healthier, more sustainable work cultures.

Since 2021, Sean has led HSBC’s global mindfulness programme, delivering over 200 sessions per month and embedding mindfulness practices across a workforce of more than 200,000 employees worldwide. His leadership helped HSBC’s Mindfulness Champions Network secure both the 2023 Champions Network Award and the 2024 This Can Happen Global Award for Best Employee Network/Resource Group, recognising the programme’s measurable impact on employee wellbeing.

Through My Trained Mind, founded in 2023, Sean continues to extend his reach, offering bespoke coaching, workshops, and keynote speeches that inspire organisations to rethink wellbeing as a strategic priority. His work bridges neuroscience, mindfulness, and organisational behaviour, providing practical, science-based tools to boost stress resilience, manage negativity bias, improve focus, and tackle challenges like imposter syndrome and multitasking fatigue.

A highly engaging and motivational speaker, Sean has been invited to share his insights at leading industry events, including the 2024 Wellbeing at Work Summit, The Unworking Conference, The Watercooler, and The Office Events. Known for his ability to turn complex scientific concepts into relatable, actionable strategies, Sean consistently leaves audiences feeling empowered and equipped to drive positive change in their organisations.

For any organisation looking to enhance workplace wellbeing, embed mindfulness practices, and create high-performing, resilient teams, Sean Tolram is the ideal speaker to inspire your next event.
