"Grounded: Becoming Our Own Rock" Men's experiences on pressure, resilience and real life.
David Mintz is a speaker, coach, business leader, and facilitator with a background in the UK property industry, where he became known for his honest, grounded approach to leadership, resilience, and personal growth. Having led businesses, teams, conferences, and community organisations, David has spent years working with people under pressure — helping individuals reconnect with confidence, purpose, and the version of themselves they thought they’d lost. His work centres around the realities of modern responsibility: being dependable, carrying expectations, supporting others, and the emotional burden that often comes with being “the strong one.” Blending humour, vulnerability, psychology, and real-life experience, David speaks openly about burnout, identity, self-worth, and why so many men struggle silently while trying to hold everything together. Passionate about helping people “remember themselves,” David’s coaching style challenges the idea that strength means suppressing emotion. Instead, he encourages honest conversation, accountability, connection, and the understanding that even the people others lean on need support too.

A Conversation With A Tree
Robbie Sloan is a nature therapist, former creative director, and founder of Big Hearted Tree. After twenty years in agencies and startups, burnout led him into the woods, and he never quite came back. Raised in the wilds of Scotland, Robbie returned to his roots.
He now guides individuals and organisations back to themselves through nature immersion, drawing on the science of how wild environments restore the nervous system, calm the body, and return us to something we didn't realise we'd lost.
Today, he's bringing something in from the woods. Something ancient, alive, and quietly extraordinary. All he asks is that you arrive with an open mind, and perhaps a willingness to be a little changed by what you hear.
