Some of Our Clients















What do They Say?
“Tough Cookie made a complex topic easy to understand and were very effective at motivating staff to start taking care of their minds. The scientific, humorous and no-nonsense approach helped to lift some of the fears and misconceptions around the topic. Staff found the content novel in its approach and refreshingly challenging at times – It really left them thinking!”
Alison Shomade
People Project Manager

“Ultimately, the wellbeing and mental resilience of staff is paramount. As others have, I would encourage organisations to engage with Michael and the Tough Cookie team and listen to his story, taking on-board the lessons with a view to implementing their new approach to the benefit of all.”
Lawrence Webb

“Michael has been a fantastic support to our professional clients in the space of all things wellbeing, neuroscience and psychology. He delivers with grace and a human approach which is why audiences connect so readily and confidently with him.

Michael is certainly an expert in his field and the ideal candidate to guide you through your resilience journey. All in all, you’d be mad not to want to work with Michael.”
