Hannah’s journey began in adversity! As a young child surrounded by violence and negativity, growing up was never going to be easy and the possibility of success seemed impossible. This all changed when one secondary headteacher reached out to Hannah in a way which you just wouldn’t believe…and we’ll leave the rest to the keynote!

Hannah is deeply immersed in the world of secondary and further education. Hannah adopted two roles as a governor, one in Secondary education and the other in further education where she focused on curriculum and the quality of teaching.

At 19 years old Hannah started a career as a professional speaker and soon became the youngest Professional Member of the Professional Speaking Association. That’s a lot of professional!

In July 2015 Hannah was made a Fellow of the PSA, a terrific achievement (PSA Fellows and Certified Speaking Professionals) and has been the youngest speaker to ever do so globally.

Hannah shares her compelling story with educational staff, students, youth groups and the general community at public events. Her ability to interact and communicate with her audiences on a personal level is guaranteed to leave your audience empowered with resilience, inspired and equipped with a positive attitude towards challenges and change.

Hannah Kennedy-Jackson is one of the most booked speakers for Secondary Education in the UK. She has a remarkable story which brings to the forefront the worst fear of any teacher, governor or senior leader in primary, secondary or further education and how one secondary head took the risk of a life time to save Hannah’s life.

Her compelling story is guaranteed to leave you and your audience captivated, inspired, empowered and equipped with a positive attitude towards challenges and change. You will laugh, you will cry tears of sadness and tears of joy, you will have an experience listening to Hannah’s story which will stick with you for years to come.

Motivation

“We used Hannah Kennedy-Jackson as part of our intervention programme. She has had a clear impact on the engagement of our disaffected students. We saw improvements in the motivation and higher levels of confidence and aspiration as well as improved behaviour eg. less internal truancy and better attendance at after school, holiday and weekend revision classes. St Annes RC High School

“The work we did with Hannah Kennedy-Jackson was recognised in our recent Ofsted inspection at one of our Carlise schools. Hannah also helps students and staff understand British Values in their own context. I would wholeheartedly recommend anybody to use her as their speaker”. United Learning
