Shaun Flores's Showreel and Videos

Topics, Sessions And Talks

Rethinking OCD And Mental Health

Shaun Flores dismantles myths about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and explores the hidden realities behind intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and recovery. Drawing on his personal journey and clinical insight, he exposes the stigma that silences men and limits true understanding. This talk helps workplaces and schools move beyond awareness toward genuine literacy and support, fostering a culture that recognises and responds to mental health with empathy and accuracy.

The Straitjacket Of Masculinity

Shaun Flores unpacks how societal expectations of masculinity restrict emotional expression and connection. Through a candid, often humorous lens, he challenges cultural narratives that prize control over vulnerability. By reframing strength as self-awareness and empathy, he shows how men, and the communities around them, can break free from outdated scripts to build healthier, more authentic relationships both personally and professionally.

How To Call People In, Not Out

In a world fuelled by outrage and polarisation, Shaun Flores offers an alternative rooted in empathy and accountability. He explores the human psychology behind shame and defensiveness, and how dialogue can replace division. Audiences learn how to create inclusive environments that prioritise growth, understanding, and redemption - values that strengthen teams, classrooms, and communities alike.

Critical Thinking For A World On Autopilot

Shaun Flores explores the growing challenge of misinformation and mental overload in the digital age. Using psychology and lived experience, he reveals how biases, algorithms, and cognitive shortcuts shape beliefs and behaviour. The session equips participants with practical tools to question assumptions, strengthen media literacy, and make better-informed decisions in a world that rewards speed over thought.

Rejection Rehab™: Confidence In The Face Of Fear

Blending personal story and behavioural science, Shaun Flores teaches audiences to embrace failure as a catalyst for growth. Through insights from exposure therapy and psychology, he shares strategies to reduce fear of rejection and build self-trust. This energising and relatable talk helps participants cultivate courage, persistence, and emotional resilience - skills that transform the way they approach both personal and professional challenges.

We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
