Ben explores the history of Stoicism, important philosophers and key ideas. The talk is incredibly pragmatic and encourages audience members to test out the philosophy with a variety of fun and engaging challenges. 

Some of the Stoic topics covered include:

  • Dealing with difficult people / clients

  • Training a resilient team
  • Building a positive mindset 
  • Handling setbacks and challenges

Ben Aldridge came to speak at our School Speech Day and did an outstanding job in inspiring our students. He spoke powerfully about his own story and encouraged our students to build their own resilience. He does this in an entertaining manner and kept the whole audience engaged throughout. Many of our students went on to buy his books! His message that you can build your own resilience using Stoic principles is a strong one but his engaging delivery makes it all the more so.
