Lewis Hatchett transforms limitations into extraordinary strength. Born with Poland Syndrome—missing a right pectoral muscle and two ribs—he defied medical expectations to become a professional cricketer, turning what should have ended his sporting ambitions into his greatest asset.
Today, Lewis is a leading voice on mental strength, working with elite athletes across Premier League football, Premiership rugby, and professional cricket. His approach cuts through motivational clichés, offering a practical, science-backed framework for building resilience rooted in lived experience.
As host of the MindStrong podcast, he leads candid conversations with world-class performers, exploring what it really takes to achieve at the highest level without compromising mental health. Backed by an MSc in Performance Psychology and years of meditation practice, Lewis brings a rare depth to the intersection of wellbeing and high performance.
Corporate teams at Revolut, Lucozade, Citibank, and Volvo have experienced his fresh, impactful approach to emotional intelligence and resilience. Rather than focusing on what’s wrong, Lewis helps people uncover their strengths, reframe setbacks, and rewrite the stories that hold them back.
“Mental health isn’t a choice, but building mental strength is,” he says—and his work proves this isn’t just a belief, but a practical path to thriving under pressure in a world that demands more than ever.

This talk is designed for those seeking to avoid burnout, embrace authenticity, and improve their performance with clarity and purpose. Attendees will learn how to harness emotional intelligence for greater success.
In his talk, Lewis Hatchett addresses the current identity crisis in masculinity, emphasizing that true strength lies in character, courage, vulnerability, and self-respect rather than dominance. He shares insights from his personal journey and experiences with high performers to present a new framework for masculinity that prioritizes emotional honesty over ego and responsibility over bravado. Attendees will learn how to redefine strength by embracing their emotions and fostering genuine connections.
