For conferences, stages, panels, and events where performance, longevity and inner fitness are on the agenda.
What makes this different?
Performance talks can leave people feeling good for a short while.
This one leaves them feeling different about themselves.
When I walk off a stage I want the room to have shifted. Not just nodded along. Not just taken a few notes they'll never look at again. Actually shifted.
I want people to understand why they keep hitting the same ceiling. Why the nervous system fires the way it does under pressure. Why the strategy they keep reaching for isn't the thing that's missing.
And I want them to leave with something real. A framework. Language. Systems they're going to come back to long after the event is over.
That's the impact of Inner Fitness does.
That's what I bring into the room.
The signature talk: Inner Fitness.
This is the talk that names the missing piece.
I open with a question most high performers have never been asked. From there, we build a new answer to what actually sustains performance, together, in the room.
Because it isn't just physical. It isn't just strategy. It's the identity underneath the output. The relationship with pressure, with recovery, with purpose. The self belief that holds when things get hard.
I call it Inner Fitness. And by the end, your people won't just have listened. They'll have been introduced to and experienced a concept they're still reaching beyond the talk.
Jo also speaks on:
-
Why the most driven people burn out, and what the resilient ones do differently.
-
Stop fixing your weaknesses. Start leading from what already works.
-
The founders and athletes who don't burn out know something the rest of us don't.
-
Your body already knows the answer. Your mind just hasn't caught up.
-
The longevity industry is optimising everything except the one thing that actually predicts how long you last.
-
We're training young athletes' bodies for elite performance and leaving their inner world completely untrained.
-
Your best decisions and your worst ones come from the same nervous system. Here's how to know which one is driving.
-
Resilience isn't bouncing back. It's what happens before you ever need to.
I've lived what I teach.
I'm a former Team GB age-group triathlete, MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, and founder of Return to Base. I've spent 14 years working in leadership and performance development, with senior leaders, founders, and high performance organisations across the UK, I am trained in breathwork and nervous system regulation.
I know what it takes to build at the highest level. And I know what it costs when the inner game isn't trained alongside it. That's why I built BASE. And honestly, it's the most important, game changing work I've ever done. I am committed to bringing it to your spaces, so your people can redefine what is possible for them.
