Simon Keith helps leaders and teams rethink resilience, perseverance, and what it means to keep moving forward when the odds feel stacked against them. A former professional soccer player, Simon’s life changed dramatically when he received a life-saving heart transplant at the age of 21.

Simon’s message is rooted in the power of choice. He challenges audiences to consider how mindset, discipline, and daily decisions shape outcomes, especially during moments of uncertainty or adversity. His story is extraordinary, but his focus is practical. He connects perseverance to leadership, responsibility, and the ability to respond intentionally when circumstances change without warning.

Simon is the author of Heart for the Game, a book that explores determination, perspective, and the mental strength required to keep pursuing what matters most. His work as an author reinforces the credibility of his message and his commitment to helping others apply these lessons beyond the stage.

Simon’s delivery is authentic, compelling, and deeply human. He connects easily with audiences through honesty and clarity, blending storytelling with insight that resonates across industries. Meeting planners consistently value his professionalism, preparation, and ability to tailor his message to align with organizational goals and audience needs.

Simon is especially effective for organizations focused on resilience, leadership, health, and performance under pressure. He is trusted by clients who want a speaker who inspires action, encourages perspective, and leaves audiences with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
