Mental Health & Workplace Wellbeing Motivational Speaker – Rob Hosking
Turn Challenges Into Opportunities
Rob Hosking doesn’t speak about mental health from theory or training manuals, he speaks from experience. As a former frontline police officer, Rob spent years operating under relentless pressure, exposure to trauma, and a culture where “just crack on” was the norm. Behind the uniform, his mental health deteriorated quietly until he reached rock bottom, battling depression and suicidal thoughts.
Today, Rob uses that lived experience to deliver powerful, honest, and deeply impactful keynotes that help organisations build resilient people, psychologically safe cultures, and healthier approaches to performance under pressure.
The Reality Organisations Face
​
Mental health challenges don’t start at home and stop at the office door. Pressure, workload, uncertainty, and constant change impact focus, performance, engagement, and retention. Many organisations want to support wellbeing, but struggle to move beyond surface-level conversations.
​
Without real understanding and practical tools, teams remain overwhelmed, leaders feel ill-equipped, and stigma quietly persists.

Rob’s Lived Experience & Perspective
​
Rob’s credibility comes from walking the path himself. After years of suppressing emotions, absorbing trauma, and believing vulnerability was weakness, his mental health collapsed. Depression took hold. He reached a point where he questioned whether life was worth continuing.
That moment became the turning point.
​
Rob now shares this journey with courage and clarity, not for shock value, but to break stigma, build understanding, and show what recovery and resilience really look like. His talks balance honesty with hope, helping audiences understand that mental health is not a weakness, it’s a performance issue, a leadership issue, and a human issue.
