Society today is desperate for a reinvigoration of purpose, meaning and identity. This is apparent when we look at the epidemic levels of mental health ailments, our attention spans and our over reliance on external sources of validation.

Delivering inspiring and actionable live and virtual experiences to drive meaningful outcomes, bibiliotherapy expert and keynote speaker Dylan Conway brings the ideal balance of authentic vulnerability, inspiring energy, case studies and practical applications to audiences of every size. Whether it’s an arena of 1,000 future Army Officers, a workshop of 25, or a virtual event with your remote workforce, Dylan will deliver an event to match the audience.

As a leader, speaker, advisor, and entrepreneur, Dylan blends deep, real-world experiences and data, with inspiring storytelling, to support leadership teams and their organisations as they navigate the current and emerging stressors impacting their work force.

Dylan is proud to have worked with the following amazing organisations, schools and emergency service branches:

Impact of Bibliotherapy

Reading reduces stress by up to 68% and is almost 300% more effective than going for a walk to reduce cortisol.

Books can contribute to your social life. Staying social has big benefits including preventing isolation, which is a risk factor for depression and dementia.

It offers relaxation, stimulation, knowledge and self-development, new perspectives on life and inspiration.

Unguided self-help through bibliotherapy can produce improvement for individuals with social anxiety disorder.

Reading helps us to mentally slow down, relax physically and put as at ease, priming us for a restful night's sleep.

Reading has been shown to increase empathy. This allows us to show greater care for one another and increases our communication ability as well.

Psychologists often utilise self-help books with their patients to offer further support between sessions.

Books are cost effective, elicit positive responses from patients and allow for improved patient self-management.
