Jason Anker's biography

At a glance

  • Advocate for workplace safety
  • Founder of Proud2bSafe, safety culture organisation
  • Co-founder of Anker & Marsh Ltd, safety consultancy
Jason Anker is a prominent inspirational speaker and advocate for workplace safety, renowned for his compelling narrative that stems from a life-altering incident. Jason was paralysed from the waist down following a fall from a ladder on a construction site at the age of 24. His journey from that day through years of rehabilitation and personal struggle has shaped him into a powerful voice for change in the industry. Jason's story is not just about the accident; it encompasses its profound impact on his life, family, and friends. He candidly shares the emotional and psychological toll of his experience, including battles with addiction and the challenges of seeking compensation. His willingness to discuss these difficult topics resonates with audiences, making his message relevant to everyone — from directors to frontline workers. Since beginning his speaking career, Jason has delivered over 3,000 presentations worldwide, transforming his personal tragedy into a mission to promote safety and well-being in the workplace. He founded Proud2bSafe, an organisation dedicated to providing motivational speakers and resources to enhance safety culture. Recently, he has partnered with Professor Tim Marsh to establish Anker & Marsh Ltd, expanding their offerings to include training and consultancy services focused on behavioural safety and organisational culture. Tim and Jason regularly present together, offering a unique blend of personal experience and psychological insight that resonates deeply with audiences. Jason's latest work, Paralysis to Success - Bounding Back From Adversity, encapsulates his journey and insights. His commitment to making a difference is evident in every presentation, inspiring others to learn from his experiences and prioritise safety in their own lives.

Testimonials

I think everyone here today will take something from this. I certainly will be changing some of my behaviours especially around the fear factor. I will focus on gratitude and make sure that I wake up every morning being grateful for what I've got and who I've got and just my general outlook on life. I am going to work on my thought processes and try to control/work on my fears and to make sure i always look at the positives in life. Thank you Jason.
