Biography
As one of Ireland’s most prominent mental health advocates and sought-after thought leaders, Niall Breslin has helped to pioneer a transformation in the public perception and narrative around mental health and emotional wellness.
Drawing from an almost unimaginable breadth of experience as a touring musician, former professional rugby and Gaelic football player, and as an academic, Niall is known for his unique ability to communicate with inspiring candour, expert knowledge and bona-fide authenticity.
As such, it is no surprise that Niall has found incredible success as a podcaster, charting high with two separate podcasts in the mental health and wellbeing space. Revealed as the voice of Spotify’s brand new mindfulness podcast series, 'Wake Up/Wind Down' - which offers listeners a unique way of opening and closing their day. Niall has also recently released the second season of his popular podcast series, 'Where Is My Mind?', exclusively on Spotify, won creative podcast of the year at the British Podcast Awards. He joins a select group of talent to have been tapped for exclusive podcast series as part of the streaming giant's accelerating growth in the audio space.
Part of the Spotify-curated playlist, ‘Your Daily Wellness’, 'Wake Up/Wind Down' has proven to be incredibly popular in these unprecedented stressful times, becoming the #1 podcast on the Spotify Charts in the UK and Ireland, and a Top 10 in the United States, all while helping listeners start and end their days with guided mindfulness meditations and techniques.
His standing as a key figure in the evolving conversation around mental health has been further bolstered by his #1 bestselling and multi award winning book, ‘Me and My Mate Jeffrey’, as well as his children's mindfulness picture books, ‘The Magic Moment’ and ‘Take Five’.
On the philanthropic front, Niall is the founder and Creative Director of mental health charity A Lust for Life, a project that has led him to receive the prestigious Social Entrepreneur Ireland Impact award, The Social Innovation Fund award, and the Google Impact award.
Niall has also produced and written several documentaries about mental health and performance psychology, and has consulted with the Irish government and the EU parliament to further influence the discussion and development of future policy in the area of mental health, including chairing the reference groups for the youth mental health task force.
He holds degrees in Economics and Sociology both from University College Dublin, a Higher Certificate in Performance Psychology from IADT, and a Master’s degree in Mindfulness Based Interventions from the School of Psychology in UCD. He is also an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and IADT, where his work has been highly recognized by peers and colleagues.
These credentials have allowed him to become a regular consultant for multinational corporations and organizations from different sectors, including Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, EY, international NGOs, and The European Parliament.
Topics
How to Find Peace in the Chaos of the Modern World
The talk, although tackling a difficult subject, uses an irreverent and very human tone. The aim is to take the listener out of work mode and into a space where they feel empowered by another person's vulnerability.
In order to achieve this, Niall uses his own story as context. He begins by speaking about his own journey and how his inability to deal with his own mental health struggles led to him sabotaging my relationships and careers.
This came to a moment of clarity where Niall had to make a decision to face these demons head on. Most people's rock bottom is the starting point of their fight back, it just so happened that his rock bottom came 15 minutes before a prime-time television show, The Voice.
Niall goes on to explore how he found a way back to ultimately dealing with his own issues, but then returning to academia to find a way to help others deal with their struggles too.
The most important part of the talk is to make sure the groups leaves feeling empowered and armed with some information that can help them better become guardians of their own minds, in the chaos of the modern world.
This is a simple five step positive psychology, neuroscience and mindfulness plan that us can build into their daily routines.
(1) Limit exposure to toxic environments and people. Understand how to set boundaries to deal with this
(2) Say one life affirming thing about yourself just before you fall asleep each night
(3) Before you get out of bed in the morning, think of five things you have in your life that you are grateful for
(4) 30 mindful moments each day. Little glimpses of magic moments
(5) Develop a trait of non-judgment both towards yourself and others
Music and Mindfulness
Music and mindfulness have a very special alliance. In recent years we have all started to consume and listen to music in a far more passive way. Learning to mindfully listen to music can help us develop the skill of meditation and master our ability to manage our stress.
This talk will be about music and the brain. What happens when we listen or play music and why is it so powerful? The aim is to show how music and mindfulness have a very special alliance that we can tap into to help reduce our stress. The aim is to change our relationships to how we consume music to a much more mindful way rather than passive.
Niall will practically illustrate that by using isolated vocals from some of the biggest songs of all time.
The Neuroscience of Mindfulness
With this talk Niall’s approach is to combine mindfulness and neuroscience education. Niall will deliver a standalone 45 minute talk followed by a 15 minute. Niall will cover the basic science of mindfulness and the brain, in both the short term and with longer term practice. The topics to be covered are:
(a) the basic structure of the brain and how it processes information
(b) how information from our senses is non-consciously processed before we are aware of it
(c) how and why much of our behaviour is non-conscious
(d) why habits develop and why they are so difficult to change
(e) how stress affects how we think and behave
(f) why mindfulness is difficult but worthwhile, including long term changes in the structure and function of the brain
In relation to all these topics, Niall will detail how and why mindfulness is a useful tool to develop resilience, psychological flexibility and good psychological health, regardless of your external environment. Niall will detail why being mindful is the best tool we have to live and thrive in the modern culture and society we have created, and how it can make you more resilient in the face of constant threat and unpredictability.
