About Thor Uram
Workplace Communication and Change Management Keynote Speaker Thor Uram spent the majority of his life focused on the singular goal of becoming a published writer. When he was diagnosed with an incurable neurological illness that damaged his ability to create, a great contempt for life took over. Thor became nihilistic and mistrusting, and not very pleasant to be around at all. He began to say things he didn’t mean, to do things that could not be undone. He was emotionally dysregulated and expressing himself purely through the filters of his primal programming. It wasn’t long before Thor found himself in a graveyard of broken relationships, both personal and professional. He fell into a downward spiral that nearly ended his life.
On the cusp of completely tearing his family apart, Thor abandoned the antidepressants and the pain pills to look elsewhere for genuine healing. He found the answers he had been looking for in the form of self work, meditation, neuroscience and quantum cognition theory, which he used to form the backbone of his TILT (trauma-informed leadership training) methodology. His training brand REGULATE teachers apex leaders how to take an active role in monitoring, managing and controlling their emotional responses to elevated forms of stress.
Thor now spends the majority of his personal time speaking to audiences of all ages and environments about the hazards of emotional dysregulation, his newfound joy and love and respect for not only his own life but for those of all his fellow humans, and the transformative power of remaining calm, accepting, empathetic and most importantly — emotionally regulated when communicating with others.
