Andrew Jenkins, a finalist on the BBC hit show The Traitors, is a living embodiment of resilience and transformation. At just 21, his dreams were shattered when a life-altering car accident left him in a coma for four weeks. Doctors warned he may never walk, talk, or recognise his loved ones again. But Andrew refused to accept that fate.

He defied all odds – learning to walk again, rebuilding his life from scratch, and reigniting his sense of purpose after losing his dream of playing rugby for Wales. For 24 years, Andrew silently battled with his mental health, but through deep reflection and the courage to open up, he found the strength to heal and grow. A reunion with the doctor who saved his life in 2022 dubbed him a “miracle patient” – and sparked a new mission: to turn his story into a beacon of hope for others.

Now, as the founder of Strength In You Ltd, Andrew delivers powerful motivational talks and workshops that empower young people to overcome adversity, embrace failure, and realise their full potential.

This keynote isn’t just a talk – it’s a life-changing experience designed to ignite the SPARK in every student:

• Self-Awareness: Andrew guides students to recognise the power of their thoughts, beliefs, and the stories they tell themselves – and how to reframe them.
• Purpose: He shares how losing one dream helped him discover a deeper purpose, showing students that setbacks can redirect, not define, them.
• Awareness: Andrew opens up conversations around mental health with honesty and vulnerability, breaking down stigma and helping students feel less alone.
• Resilience: Through his story of surviving the unthinkable, Andrew shows how to face life’s toughest challenges with grit, courage, and belief.
• Kindness: Andrew inspires compassion – not just towards others, but inwardly, reminding students of the importance of self-love and support.

Andrew’s talks are known for their raw honesty, relatability, and motivational fire. He empowers students to break free from self-doubt, redefine their self-worth, and face life with renewed strength and direction.

When Andrew steps into the room, things shift. Students don’t just listen – they see what’s possible.
