Combining inspirational comedy with content, Stuart Ellis-Myers – also known as Twitchy – is a keynote speaker with a difference. Also a filmmaker and author, Ellis-Myers lives with non-swearing Tourette’s and has over five decades of lived experience of OCD-driven Bipolar panic attacks, anxiety and depression. Myers trademark is to ‘positively traumatize™’ audiences reducing them to fits of laughter but also teaching them how to turn mental health into mental wealth and helping them to become unstoppable and achieve extraordinary results. He has graced over 860 conference stages across Europe, North America and Australia over twenty years, receiving rave reviews wherever he goes.
Ellis-Myers began to develop the often misunderstood neurological disorder Tourette Syndrome when he was eight years old, and fully understands how personal health difficulties can change the course of our lives from an early age. He aims to break through the stigma surrounding mental health and reveal practical insights that can help us all overcome the challenges of our increasingly hectic lives. At one point suicidal, Ellis-Myers made the brave decision to turn his path towards a happy and Unstoppable life, also dedicating his time to helping many others overcome their personal fears and difficulties.
In 2015 he published his first book Unstoppable, a journey through his life where he was initially held captive by his mental condition but then found the determination and strength to break free and find lasting love and build a growing business, also becoming one of the most inspiring and gifted public speakers on today’s corporate circuit.
