Speaking That Inspires

Get Back Up – Resilience That Drives Results

I’m Jamie McAnsh, an award-winning motivational speaker ranked among the UK’s Top 10. My story of resilience — from waking paralysed in 2014 to reaching Everest Base Camp on crutches and summiting Kilimanjaro on KAFOs — is more than inspiration. It’s a lived experience that helps leaders and teams adapt, grow, and thrive. When I speak, I share authentic stories combined with practical strategies that audiences can apply immediately.

Keynote Themes

My talks cover themes including resilience and adaptability, leadership in challenging times, inclusive cultures that thrive, and preparing for the future of work with confidence. I deliver these sessions in a variety of formats: from large-scale keynote talks at conferences and corporate events to more focused leadership workshops, away days, and team-building sessions. I also speak in schools and colleges to inspire young people, with all talks tailored to the needs of the audience and available both in person and online.

Beyond the Keynote

For organisations that want more than a one-off session, I extend my work through my role as Head of Inclusion at Champions UK PLC. This allows me to help organisations embed the lessons from my keynotes into long-term strategies — from inclusive leadership programmes and wellbeing initiatives to AI adoption and workplace transformation. This means audiences don’t just leave inspired; they leave with a framework for lasting change.
