Jamie McAnsh

Voted as one of the UK’s top 15 motivational speakers!

After waking up paralyzed from the waist down in January 2014 due to a condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Jamie McAnsh embarked on an incredible journey. Instead of allowing his wheelchair to confine him, he chose to live life unconventionally.

Jamie McAnsh’s determination led him to climb a mountain using only his hands. His inspiring story includes being capped for Wales in rugby in 2014 and currently playing wheelchair basketball for Cardiff.

“Jamie delivered an amazing session for our company as part of our Mental Health Awareness Week. His story was an emotional journey told with such honesty and somehow humour, leaving everyone in awe and inspired. I cannot recommend a speaking session from Jamie highly enough. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the process and has left a lasting impression on myself and everyone who attended the session.”

Red Gate

“Thanks Jamie for an inspiring and entertaining talk focused on overcoming adversity, goal setting, and resilience. It has really helped the team reflect and refocus. Some great takeaways – be true to yourself, communicate, collaborate, and go at the pace that is right for you! Make sure you surround yourself with ‘radiators’ and not ‘drainpipes’ and recognise that we will all have ‘muddy puddle’ days, but we must have faith in the process and the people around you!”

Illumina

“We thoroughly enjoyed Jamie’s presentation.  It was inspiring, interesting, and very high energy.”
