Story of miracle man
Falling ill in 2006 on a school trip
Falling ill in 2006 on a school trip
Falling ill in 2006 on a school trip
After returning from a school trip to Paris, my life took an unexpected turn. I remember feeling disoriented around my friends, unable to understand the words being spoken around me or even make sense of my own.
This feeling came and went in waves and my mum noticed the alarming signs: my feet had turned blue, and I was struggling to breathe.
I was rushed to the hospital, where doctors delivered devastating news, my lungs were almost completely infected, so not enough oxygen was getting to my brain or my feet and my only chance of survival lay in being connected to an ECMO life support machine.
Miraculously, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) had the last available machine.
I was quickly transferred and began a seven-week journey, fighting to reclaim my life. It was a journey of survival, resilience, and the power of hope.
After returning from a school trip to Disneyland Paris, I suddenly felt disoriented, unable to understand the words people were speaking around me. It came and went in waves but the next day I couldn't speak any sense and my mum quickly noticed I had blue feet and difficulty breathing so I was rushed to the hospital. Doctors revealed my lungs were nearly completely infected, depriving my brain and feet of oxygen. My only chance of survival was an ECMO life support machine.
Miraculously, Great Ormond Street Hospital had the last available machine, and I was transferred immediately. Over seven weeks, I fought to survive, beginning a journey of resilience and hope.

12 cardiac arrests
I Was given just 10% chance to survive. My diagnosis
I Was given just 10% chance to survive. My diagnosis
I Was given just 10% chance to survive. My diagnosis
A devastating trio: Strep Pneumonia, Influenza, and Sepsis. For every small step forward, I seemed to be dragged five steps back.
During my hospital stay, I endured 12 cardiac arrests and my family faced the unbearable reality of being told to start thinking about funeral arrangements.
Then, against all odds, I started to show signs of improvement. I had to rebuild myself from the ground up: relearning how to make a fist, touch my finger to my nose, stand, walk, and even breathe on my own again, without the aid of machines.
Through this process, I found a connection with myself that I’d never known, becoming my own greatest advocate and inner best friend. Pushing myself to recover completely, I emerged with a transformed mindset rooted in a commitment to lead with positivity and strength.
I was given just a 10% chance to survive a devastating trio: Strep Pneumonia, Influenza, and Sepsis. After enduring 12 cardiac arrests and defying all odds, I began the journey of rebuilding, relearning to breathe, walk, and function agiain.
Through this, I discovered resilience, becoming my own strongest advocate and emerging with a transformed mindset focused on positivity and strength.

Surviving and creating a positive ripple
After recovering fully, life offered me an unexpected opportunity: sharing my story with Morgan Stanley. Expecting an intimate chat, I discovered it was a charity event with 400 people in attendance.
Living by my motto 'Say no, nothing changes. Say yes, amazing things happen' I said yes. The response was overwhelming and inspired me to improve.
Soon after, a team at Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity asked if I would like to help secure a £7.5 million partnership with Whitbread PLC. I said yes again. The partnership succeeded, leading to a five-year role with Whitbread, where I traveled the UK, inspiring fundraising efforts. Together, we raised £10 million, contributing to a total of over £25 million raised so far.
In 2015 I was named one of the UK’s happiest people by The Independent on Sunday’s 'Happy List' for the work I do to enrich the lives of others. Today, I continue inspiring others to step outside their comfort zones, embrace teamwork, and mentor aspiring speakers.
After recovering, I was invited to speak at a major charity event for Morgan Stanley, expecting an intimate chat but finding 400 bankers instead. Living by my motto, ‘Say yes, and amazing things could happen,’ I embraced the opportunity, which sparked a passion for inspiring others.
Soon after, Great Ormond Street Hospital asked me to help secure a £7.5 million charity partnership with Whitbread PLC. Saying yes again led not only to success but also to a five-year role, during which we raised £10 million, contributing to a total of over £25 million to date.
Honoured as one of the UK’s happiest people on The Independent’s ‘Happy List,’ I now travel widely, inspiring others to step out of their comfort zones, embrace teamwork, and build successful speaking careers.

With experiences we can all learn from and relate to. I heard him speak from his heart and in a room of 500 people you could have heard a pin drop. We hung on his every word. Highly recommend you hear his story.
He spoke in a way that engaged both pupils and parents
Anthony addressed our parents and pupils (prep school) for our end of year Speech Day. After speaking to some parents and pupils a few weeks after the event they spoke about how their children understood his message of saying "yes" to new opportunities.
Anthony was a fantastic speaker but also arrived promptly, interacted well on a personal level and someone that I would not hesitate to recommend.Nothing short of extraordinary

Growth doesn’t happen in comfort, it happens in challenge. In this part of my journey, I share how embracing discomfort became the catalyst for transformation. Whether it’s facing fears, taking risks, or doing something for the first time, stepping out of our comfort zones opens the door to resilience, self-belief, and new opportunities.
It took input from many, many people for me to get my life back. From the surgeons, nurses, cleaners and people working behind the scenes. Everybody, no matter how big or small their role is, plays a valuable position when it comes to teamwork.
Throughout the presentation there is an underlying and recurring theme of ‘When you say no, nothing changes, but when you say yes to opportunities, amazing things can happen’.
Appreciating the ups and downs. How negative situations can plant seeds for positive outcomes.

How do you engage audiences and keep them motivated?
What makes my approach unique is that my talks go beyond the typical "believe and achieve" format. My presentations have evolved and been fine-tuned over the years to create an immersive experience that resonates deeply with audiences. I take listeners on a journey that evokes a full range of emotions, from moments of sadness, reflection, and thoughtful contemplation to laughter, joy, and an uplifting conclusion. My goal is to make the audience feel like they are part of the story, not just spectators hearing about my achievements. By fostering genuine connection and avoiding overused buzzwords, I strive to inspire and motivate through authenticity, relatable experiences, and heartfelt moments that stay with people long after the talk ends.
What is your background and experience as an inspirational speaker?
I’ve been an inspirational speaker since 2008, engaging with audiences across all age ranges, from primary school pupils to bank managers and corporate leaders. My journey has taken me to over 10 countries, delivering talks to diverse groups ranging from intimate gatherings of 5 people to audiences of up to 3,000. I’m proud to have earned over 1000 5-star Google Reviews, and the positive impact of my talks is consistently reflected in the heartfelt comments on my social media posts. This experience and feedback affirm my commitment to connecting with audiences and inspiring meaningful change.
Do you have a booking process or form to make hiring you easy?
Yes, I have a straightforward booking process to make hiring me as a speaker easy and seamless. Here’s how it works: Step 1: Start by filling out the contact form on my website or giving me a call. Step 2: I’ll follow up with an email introducing myself, sharing my story, speaking topics, audience feedback, and links to my social media pages. Matthew (who has 20+ years experience in the speaking industry) manages my speaking contracts, speaker fees, and schedule, will be copied into the email and available to answer any questions you may have. Step 3: We’ll arrange a virtual call to introduce ourselves and discuss the event details, including AV setup, logistics, parking, arrival and speech timings, and any other considerations to ensure a successful event. Step 4: If you’re ready to proceed, a contract will be signed by both the client and myself, and the event will be officially booked in the diary. This process ensures clarity and a collaborative approach from start to finish, making it easy for you to bring an impactful speaking engagement to your audience.
How do you handle potentially sensitive or controversial topics in your talks?
I approach sensitive or potentially controversial topics in my talks with great care and empathy, given that I often discuss near-death experiences and share personal images from my time in the hospital. At the beginning of my talks, I always provide a thoughtful heads-up, letting the audience know: “I will be speaking about the highs and lows of my journey, and this may affect each of you differently, depending on your own experiences or current circumstances. If at any moment you feel overwhelmed, you are absolutely free to step out of the room.” This approach not only prepares the audience but also creates a supportive environment, allowing everyone to feel comfortable, engaged, and ultimately uplifted by the experience.
Do you offer coaching or mentoring for aspiring speakers?
Yes, I offer coaching and mentoring for aspiring speakers. Throughout my journey, I’ve often heard people say, “I could never do what you do” or “I wouldn’t know where to start.” I understand that feeling, I’ve been there myself. That’s why, after nearly two decades of experience on stage, I’ve created a course specifically designed to teach others how to become inspirational and motivational speakers.
