12x Heart Stopped
10% Chance of Survival

Hi, I’m Anthony – an Inspirational Speaker for schools, colleges and staff teams, on a mission to spark belief and inspire positive change through real-life storytelling.

With over 17 years of keynote speaking experience and more than 1,000 five-star Google reviews, I’ve had the privilege of working with students and educators across the UK. I use my personal journey of resilience, teamwork and overcoming adversity to connect with audiences in a way that’s uplifting, honest, and unforgettable.

Whether it’s a primary school assembly, a talk for secondary students, a college motivation day or a staff INSET session, I help people build resilience, step outside their comfort zone, and say yes to new opportunities. My aim is simply to leave every audience feeling more hopeful, more empowered, and ready to take on what’s next.

NAMED ONE OF THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE UK

By the Independent on Sunday's 2015 Happy List
A programme lead by the Prime Minister for 100 individuals that enrich the lives of others, making the UK a better place.

My Story: From a 10% Chance of Survival to Inspiring Thousands


It all started from a hospital bed. As a teenager, I faced a life-threatening illness that left doctors giving me just a 10% chance of survival. During my time in hospital, my heart stopped 12 times, and each time doctors and nurses fought to bring me back. Those moments changed the way I see life forever.

Finding Strength Through Adversity

Coming through such an experience gave me a deep appreciation for life, for people, and for the power of perseverance. Recovery was not easy, and rebuilding confidence after such a traumatic experience took time, determination, and the support of others around me.

But those challenges became the foundation of something powerful.

Building a Speaking Career Against the Odds

Against all odds, I went on to build a career speaking to thousands of people across the UK, sharing lessons about resilience, teamwork, mindset, and the courage to say yes to opportunities.

Years later, my outlook on life led to me being recognised as one of the happiest people in the UK – not because life has been easy, but because I learned how to find purpose, gratitude and meaning even through adversity.

What Audiences Take Away

Today, I bring that journey to every audience I speak to.

Through honest storytelling, humour, and practical takeaways, I help students and staff realise that their current challenges do not define their future. No matter where someone starts, with the right mindset and support, incredible things are possible.

My Mission

My mission is simple:
To help every audience leave the room believing that their story is still being written — and the best chapters may still be ahead.
