For our 2017 ASDA Marketing Away Day we invited Jamie to give a talk on motivation and encouraging team work.
Retail and sport wouldn’t usually go hand in hand, but all of his content resonated with our colleagues. From the outset Jamie’s audience of 250 were fully engaged as he delivered his ‘No white flag’ presentation, inspiring us all to ‘aim high’ and go that ‘extra mile’.
Seeing the journey, challenges and ‘hard truths’ Jamie shared is truly inspirational and showed us that having the right ‘attitude’ and determination will lead to success, be it in sport, retail or our personal lives.

Jamie’s talk was really motivating and an inspiration to all of us – especially our team leaders – whether they were new to the role or had years of experience. It was really relevant to us as a team and we have taken away lots of examples we can apply not only to our day jobs but our personal lives too. Jamie delivered his presentation really well and was engaging throughout the session – and you don’t have to know anything about rugby league either! After the session everyone said how relevant the message was to them and how much they enjoyed it. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jamie to others who want to inspire, engage and motivate their teams’.

The Health and Wellbeing College, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, had the great pleasure of welcoming Jamie Peacock to open our new facilities in July 2017.
Jamie is someone who has inspired our students with health challenges, to believe in themselves and find ways of achieving their ambitions. We incorporate Jamie’s video, poem and talks into our lesson plans as part of our ‘Believe and Achieve’ course, where our students are exploring how to use their assets to reach their own personal goals.
Jamie’s approach has encouraged our students with mental and physical health challenges to reassess their current situation, and learn about different thinking styles and how to apply them to problem solving. This has resulted in many of our students achieve a better understanding of some of the barriers they encounter, and learn how to apply their knowledge to work towards their goals and ambitions.
Jamie’s approach to life and his career have been incorporated within this course in our curriculum, resulting in students enjoying the fusion between a psycho-educational approach and Jamie’s inspiring personal journey.

Jamie attended HMP Humber in February 2017 to deliver his ‘No White Flag’ motivational presentation. The presentation was part of the Rugby League course held at the prison. Jamie’s audience was a mixture of staff and approximately 40 prisoners.
Jamie’s presence was enough to capture the respect of the audience but when he started the presentation you could see the focus and willingness to listen in the room. Jamie made his past circumstances relevant to the prisoners in attendance and their current circumstances. One prisoner stated afterwards “Jamie has provided me with inspiration and self-belief. From now on I will never give up and I will prove to myself and others that there are no limits in achieving success”.
Jamie is an inspiration, a leader and a true professional that will have a positive influence on all those in his presence.
The ‘No White Flag’ presentation is still talked about days after Jamie’s visit. In order to achieve and be successful, you have to do something different from everyone else. Jamie is living proof of this.
Hopefully Jamie will be back again in the future and I can’t thank him enough for firstly coming to HMP Humber and secondly the huge impact he has had on everyone present.

“The event was an unqualified success. I invited Jamie to make his keynote White Flag speech to a business based audience in Newcastle upon Tyne. The feedback we received exceeded expectations on every level. The principal themes of hard work, commitment and self-improvement resonated strongly with everyone. Jamie delivered with outstanding anecdotes, easy to use tips, and fascinating insights into what it takes succeed at the highest level in any walk of life.”

We invited JP to be our keynote speaker at a leadership event themed around Leadership in Challenging Situations and whilst many of our invitees had probably never put a foot on a rugby pitch JP was an excellent choice. He was engaging, entertaining and inspirational. He made his experiences on the field relevant to the audiences own careers off the field through storytelling and motivational leadership lessons throughout his presentation. Feedback from our guests was 100% positive and everyone said that they would take something away from his speech.
