Biography

When pressure increases and expectations rise, many organisations face disengagement, hidden stress and cultures where people appear to perform but quietly struggle. Andrew Jenkins helps organisations build authentic leadership, resilience and psychological safety, transforming how teams communicate, handle adversity and lead under pressure. The result is stronger performance, healthier cultures and improved staff retention.

Andrew Jenkins doesn’t just speak about resilience, he proves it.

At 21, Andrew was pronounced clinically dead following a devastating car accident. After four weeks in a coma, doctors warned he may never walk or function independently again. Defying every prediction, Andrew rebuilt his body, his life and ultimately his purpose, though for over two decades he fought a silent battle with trauma and mental health.

Today, Andrew is a high-impact keynote speaker delivering powerful talks on courage, resilience, self-belief and authentic leadership. His message resonates deeply with audiences navigating pressure, change, burnout and uncertainty because he does not speak from theory. He speaks from lived experience, delivered with honesty, humour and emotional intelligence.

Following a successful career in banking and commercial insurance, a life-changing reunion with the surgeon who saved his life became the catalyst for Andrew to share his story. Since then, he has reached global audiences, including millions as a finalist on BBC’s hit series The Traitors, where he demonstrated resilience, emotional intelligence and authenticity under intense public scrutiny.

Andrew’s sessions do not simply inspire in the moment. They spark lasting cultural shifts, strengthening communication, trust and performance long after the applause ends.

If you are looking for a speaker who will move your audience, challenge thinking and create meaningful change, Andrew Jenkins is a powerful choice for your next event.
