WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Ed Jackson is a former professional rugby player turned award-winning adventurer, broadcaster, and keynote speaker. After a life-changing spinal injury ended his rugby career at 25, Ed was told he may never walk again. What followed was not a story of “bouncing back”, but of learning how to move forward - differently.
Today, Ed speaks to audiences around the world about resilience, leadership, mindset, and navigating uncertainty. His talks are grounded, honest, and deeply human - combining lived experience with practical tools audiences can apply immediately.
Ed doesn’t offer motivation for motivation’s sake. He delivers perspective, clarity, and lasting impact.

We invited Ed to be the guest speaker for our charity fundraising lunch in London. The audience of 300 comprised insurance executives, working in a traditional environment, where talking about mental health struggles is still somewhat taboo. We hoped that Ed’s background as a professional rugby player would appeal to our guests but hadn’t anticipated just how many of them would be inspired and motivated by Ed’s talk. Ed is natural public speaker, engaging, insightful, vulnerable and humorous. He really moved our audience and left us all feeling very grateful to be alive!
