Introducing Jules Mitchell: The mental wealth fire starter changing how Britain leads
Written by The Mental Wealth Revolution
There’s a moment we see repeatedly when leaders and professionals hear Jules Mitchell speak.
A breath. A drop of the shoulders, a look that quietly says, “At last… someone finally understands.”
Because behind the competence, the strategy, and the calm exterior, today’s professionals are carrying far more than the human nervous system was ever designed to hold.
Work has shifted faster than biology can adapt, pace has intensified, expectations have stacked higher and emotional load has quietly become part of every job description.
Yet almost no one has been taught how to lead themselves through this.
This is why so many high performers are struggling, not from lack of skill, but from lack of capacity.
And the data makes the picture clear:
- 98 per cent of leaders say at least one part of their job is stressful.
- More than half report high or extreme stress that directly reduces productivity.
Across every sector Jules works with; corporate, professional services, NHS, UK Armed Forces, education, charities and many more, the same pattern emerges.
Leaders who look fine but feel overwhelmed. Managers carrying emotional weight they were never trained to hold. Teams absorbing stress they can’t name or explain.
Most assume they’re failing, but the truth Jules brings to the room is simple:
“When your body is overwhelmed, your brain can’t access clarity, empathy, creativity, or steadiness. It’s not personal. It’s biology.”
This is why Jules speaks. To give leaders the understanding and tools they’ve never been given.
Not resilience slogans. Not quick fixes. But real, practical human mechanics they can use the very same day.
Why audiences connect with her
Jules’s style is distinctive, honest, warm, science-backed, and unexpectedly fun.
She delivers serious science in plain English, blending humour with grounded truth. She gives people language for experiences they’ve been carrying for years, yet does it in a way that feels safe, human, and deeply relatable.
People walk away lighter, steadier, and better equipped to handle pressure without being consumed by it and they leave the room energised, engaged, and genuinely uplifted by the experience.
Event organisers consistently tell us Jules is the speaker who changes the atmosphere in the room within minutes.

Real-time tools for clarity in high-pressure moments

What today’s teams truly need from their leaders
