A dynamic presentation that informs, entertains and inspires, and sends the audience out of the auditorium feeling great about themselves. Martin uses music and humor in providing some fascinating insights into the functioning of the human body/mind. The 6 elements of M.E.L.L.O.W. (Magic of the Mind, Exercise, Laughter, Love, Optimal Nutrition and Wonder) are used to point the way to lifestyle artistry and high-level personal and professional performance.

"Some speakers want an hour of your time, I want a piece of the rest of your life."

A great opening keynote for a conference.

"A merry heart maketh like good medicine." Martin takes a light-hearted look at wellness and the human condition as he explores the ingredients of our "human soup" and the impact of love and laughter on our "chicken soul." Laughter is a reflex, and like all reflexes helps us survive. Laughter has the ability to help us communicate and bond together in group situations. Dr. Collis will highlight the health benefits of laughter and how laughter is an important ingredient in a healthy workplace.

As poet Marianne Moore noted, "To miss the joy is to miss it all."

The word stress can be thought of as an acronym Staying Tense Relentlessly Every Single Second, which is a killing position. It has been established that 75% of first visits to a primary care physician have a stress component. In this presentation Martin explains how the body/mind responds to stress and how the relaxation response can restore equilibrium. Laughter, physical activity and a change in perspective are all readily available tools that we can access in dealing with our changing, challenging world.

Dr. Collis draws on his many years of experience to look at why well-designed programs of workplace wellness are cost-effective and have a positive impact on employee morale. This presentation looks at employee fitness programs, injury prevention, stress reduction, and the role of the Employee Assistance Program (E.A.P.) in the wellness landscape.

An hour of uninhibited inspiration that shows how passion and perseverence can lead to life changing performance. This is a time to talk of heroes and Martin will introduce you to heroes from his world and to the unquenchable human spirit that burns within us all.
