An amazing presentation by Jack as part of our Capsticks Connections events. Would really recommend for anyone looking for motivational speakers dealing with mental health and positive wellbeing.”

Rachael Heenan - Senior Partner, Mediator and Executive Coach at Capsticks Solicitors LLP

Everyone who attended has said how great it was to hear a real-life example of how you can overcome problems. Your talk was truly inspirational and motivating. You spoke with absolute honesty and confidence, which was really engaging for the attendees.”

Hewlett Packard

“I first met Jack at 42 St, a lottery-funded project in Manchester, during my time as Executive Director at Camelot. Jack told me his story and of his ambition to provide inspirational talks. We gave Jack the opportunity to come and speak to our Retail Sales force in a sizeable conference and Jack was a huge hit. His honesty, candour, passion and determination shone through and provided an exceptionally powerful and motivational back drop to this important commercial moment. Jack’s great performance led us to ask him to speak to other teams, including my Marketing Department at Twitter HQ in London, and time and again he has received outstanding feedback. Now in my role at Sky, he is soon to join us to talk to my department here, and I have every confidence Jack will continue to deliver as a trusted partner.”

Matt Ridsdale, Group Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, SKY
