Defied impossible odds after surviving a near-fatal car accident
Keynote speaker on courage, resilience, and living authentically
BBC’s The Traitors star who used his platform to challenge mental health stigmas

Andrew Jenkins doesn’t just speak about resilience, he proves it. At 21, Andrew was pronounced dead following a devastating car accident. He spent four weeks in a coma with doctors warning his family that if he survived, he may never walk, talk or recognise anyone again. Against every medical prediction, Andrew rebuilt his body, his life, and ultimately his purpose, but for over two decades, the invisible battle with trauma and mental health remained unspoken. After a successful career in banking and commercial insurance, a life-changing reunion with Professor Laing, the doctor who saved his life, became the catalyst for Andrew to finally share his story. Since then, his message has reached global audiences, including millions as a finalist on BBC’s The Traitors, where he used the platform to challenge mental health stigma and show the strength found in vulnerability. Today, Andrew is a high-impact keynote speaker who delivers unforgettable talks on courage, resilience, self-belief, and authenticity. His story resonates powerfully with audiences navigating pressure, change, burnout, adversity, and self-doubt. Andrew doesn’t offer theory, he offers lived experience, delivered with honesty, humour, and emotional intelligence. As the founder of Strength In You Ltd, Andrew works with organisations, conferences, and leadership teams to help people build resilience under pressure, reconnect with purpose and self-worth, lead with authenticity and courage, and create cultures where mental wellbeing and performance thrive. Andrew’s keynotes don’t just inspire in the moment, they change conversations long after the applause ends. Audiences leave feeling seen, motivated, and equipped to face challenges differently, both professionally and personally. If you’re looking for a speaker who will move your audience, spark meaningful change, and deliver a message that truly lands, Andrew Jenkins is a powerful choice for your next event.
