Jamie's Story
Jamie Hull, motivational speaker, adventurer and former British Army Reservist, was thirty-two when his life changed forever.
Jamie was training to be a pilot in the USA when his plane engine caught fire during a training flight. With his cock-pit on fire and his plane rapidly descending towards the ground, he knew that saving his own life required calmness of thought, swiftness of action, incredible bravery and a lot of luck.
After more than 60 operations to recover from his life-changing injuries, he has worked extraordinarily to rebuild his life – taking on several major challenges in support of Help for Heroes
Jamie went down absolutely brilliantly last night when he gave his speech. He has a remarkable story which really struck our audience who hung off his every word. He was punctual, professional and presented extremely well. We’ve all loved meeting him and it was a pleasure to have him join us.
We had Jamie speak at our EMEA team meeting; his story is tragic and inspiring, he speaks with passion about his life before and after the accident. The team were moved by the events and how Jamie has carried on with his active life after suffering horrific injuries. I highly recommend it.
I was inspired and felt privileged to hear your story in your own words, you truly are remarkable and your talk definitely helped me put things into perspective, and for that I wanted to thank you. Good luck with all your future endeavours and adventures, I have no doubt you’ll go on to do even bigger things!
Jamie came to speak to 150 of our Top Management Group and Senior Operational Officers in London Fire Brigade. He took a loose brief simply to tell his story, his way. He captivated the room for 90 minutes. Engaging, compelling, authentic and peppered with good humour. His story of personal resilience, overcoming extreme adversity and his passion for helping others and shaping lives today resonated incredibly well with our team and left a powerful impression on us all.
Jamie has been a Help for Heroes’ Ambassador for 9 years. Having spent time with Jamie, my observation is that he is a very articulate and thoughtful Ambassador. He shares his story with honesty and integrity, positively inspiring his audiences – selflessly. His grit and determination is commendable and often provides a guiding light for those who have experienced setbacks in their lives. Jamie is skilled at engaging audiences in any setting and has a gentle humour which draws in the audience. He also takes time to get to know people attending the event, showing a genuine interest in their work or lives. All Help for Heroes partners and supporters who have met Jamie and
heard his story speak highly of him. They comment that they are often moved, moved because he does not look back, does not voice regret and has an outlook on life which is nothing but progressive. It’s an honour to know him and to have heard his story.
Jamie is a truly inspirational public speaker. His story of recovery and rehabilitation is told with such candid honesty and simplicity that it is hard not to find yourself hooked from the moment he starts speaking. Jamie recently spoke at the opening of our new physiotherapy clinic. Many of the people who were there have since told me how moved they were by his talk and how it has helped them reassess their lives. For Jamie to have lived through such dark and painful times and come out the other side so positive, and to have achieved the things he has whilst carrying scars and disability has to be a real lesson in what the human spirit can achieve with the right mental attitude. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you want to book an inspirational speaker to motivate and move people, book Jamie Hull.
