Will Hussey

Will Hussey is an award‑winning author and keynote speaker with a gift for helping people rediscover what’s possible. A graduate in Physical & Adventure Education from Bangor University, he began his career determined to become “the best teacher he could be,” and in the process learned as much as he taught.

Today, he brings those years of experience to audiences of all ages – from schools to global organisations – inspiring positive, sustainable change and a renewed sense of everyday magic.

Will has an uncanny ability to turn simple ideas into powerful, transformative action. His keynotes, workshops and webinars are immersive, energising and tailored to each audience. They challenge unhelpful thinking, spark fresh perspectives and leave people with memorable, doable strategies they can use immediately. They’re the sessions people want to hear, perhaps need to hear, and remember long after the day itself.

Specialisms

Resilience (he’s the author of Resilience 2.0: embracing Challenge and Change). Will shows how anyone can develop the thinking and behaviours needed to thrive in an ever‑changing world.

Growth Mindset – he challenges fixed thinking and demonstrates how adopting a growth mindset unlocks creativity, motivation and the confidence to embrace change.

Self-care – Will shares simple, sustainable strategies that help people get back to their best – personally and professionally.

A Philosophy Lived, Not Just Taught

Will practises what he preaches. He has run every day for the last four years, recently attempted (and spectacularly failed) to learn a backflip, and is living proof that age is just a number. He understands that when the world is doing its worst, it’s even more important to get back to your best — and he’s here to show you how.

Nice Words about Will

‘As an Early Career Teacher, hearing Will Hussey speak about The Art of Being Brilliant was genuinely inspiring. Teaching can be overwhelming at times, especially in the first few years, but Will’s message reminded me that positivity isn’t about ignoring challenges—it’s about choosing how we respond to them.

His energy, humour, and honesty made the session both engaging and thought-provoking. I loved how he connected real-life classroom experiences with simple, practical ideas for boosting wellbeing and resilience. It wasn’t just motivational “fluff”; it was authentic, down-to-earth, and immediately applicable in both my personal and professional life.

Will’s focus on small changes—being “brilliant” just a little bit more each day—really resonated with me. It’s a refreshing reminder that teaching is as much about who we are as what we do.
