Leading the global movement bringing Mental Wealth to masculine environments

“Stephen brings joy and sparkle to inspire courageous leadership.”

Hello, I’M Stephen J. WhitTon

Leaving school without enough academic qualifications, I did what any teenage, excitable and aspiring super-hero would do – became a Car Salesman.

Working internationally across the industry and developing a strong presence in the sector, I was always drawn back to training and development. I quickly became renowned for my knowledge of results-oriented business and the behaviours within them. Using extensive observations and anecdotes, I deliver thought leading talks, programmes, and workshop facilitation that have inspired thousands of people in audiences across the globe.

As the Founder of [M]enable, I lead the global movement bringing mental wealth into masculine environments, nurturing psychological safety through enabling leaders to create a culture of collaboration, inclusion and results.

After a successful career spanning 35 years in the automotive industry, including numerous roles from Salesman to Executive Director, I am now an authority on leveraging employee wellbeing and courageous leadership to achieve results. I help leaders embrace the ethos that when people feel good about themselves, they perform better.

“positive employee outcomes = positive customer outcomes = positive business outcomes”.

"Working with Stephen was a pleasure from start to finish, and his care and attention to detail from the moment we brought him on board was outstanding. No detail was too unimportant - Stephen made sure he understood everything we were trying to achieve, how we wanted to get there and why it mattered. He is professional, personable and really cares about his clients, which is just about everything you could want."

Nik Demetriades, CEO
"To be an authentic speaker, particularly on the subject of mental health, you have to have ‘lived it’. Really lived it. Stephen has. His journey has been tough, and he has got through everything with pride, energy and honesty. As a speaker he is genuine, powerful and has an impact on the audience. I challenge to keep dry eyes when you hear his story, and what he has learnt!"
