Carl Jones is a professional keynote speaker, award-winning author of The Caveman Principles, and a former police detective. His 19-year career on the front line gave him a unique perspective on managing pressure and stress.

After a traumatic incident where he was shot at and subsequently diagnosed with PTSD, he made it his mission to share the lessons he learned about resilience.

For his actions during that event, Carl was honoured with a National Bravery Award. As a speaker, he combines his powerful personal story with practical, no-nonsense strategies. He delivers keynote talks at universities, government organisations, corporate gatherings, and industry conferences. His presentations are both compelling and actionable, covering topics such as:

The Caveman Principles: A framework for managing stress, understanding personalities, and leading personal change.
The SLAP Technique: A powerful tool for preventing burnout and facilitating a healthy return to work.
Capacity, Need, Want: A talk that empowers people to recognise burnout and cultivate resilience in their daily routines.
He helps organisations and individuals build stronger, more resilient teams and lives by providing tangible tools and hard-won wisdom.
