Public Speaking

Web speaking img 20250702 112017
I’m a passionate public speaker who believes deeply in the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and open minds. Through my own lived experiences, I speak honestly about topics like identity, inclusion, and resilience, inviting audiences to reflect, challenge assumptions, and embrace difference.

Whether I’m talking to students, community groups, or professionals, my goal is always the same: to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and valued. I don’t believe in delivering polished, distant talks, I share real stories, with heart, honesty, and the hope that they spark meaningful conversations and lasting impact.

If you’re looking for a speaker who leads with authenticity and isn't afraid to be vulnerable, I’d love to be part of your next event. Let’s connect.

Testimonials

  • Kate Thomas, Bedwas Junior School, South Wales
    Gavin came to visit our school as part of our ‘Book Week’ celebrations. Our theme was ‘Be Yourself’. He made a big impact on children and staff alike, who were inspired by his determination and passion. Gavin shared his book, ‘Max and The Magic Wish’ which helped the children to understand more about disability, acceptance and inclusion. Gavin’s message, both in the book and in person, shone through: to succeed, trust in your unique qualities and abilities, and set your mind towards your goal.
  • Charlott Fagergard, Global Connector & Client Relations Specialist
    I recently had the pleasure of attending Gavin Clifton's second keynote speech, and I was thoroughly impressed. Despite being new to the speaking circuit and living with cerebral palsy, Gavin delivered an outstanding talk that left a lasting impact on the audience. Utilising technology to amplify his voice, he seamlessly blended humour, emotion, and purpose, creating a truly engaging experience. His inspiring message resonated deeply, leaving us all with valuable takeaways. As someone who frequently attends speaking events, I can confidently say that Gavin's performance was exceptional. I am eagerly anticipating what he will bring to the stage next.

    Hearing Gavin speak was nothing short of life-changing. His powerful storytelling, honesty, and warmth captivated the entire room. Listening to him share his journey- growing up, overcoming challenges, and following his passion for writing was deeply moving and incredibly inspiring. I was totally blown away by his story and the way he connected so naturally with the audience. Gavin is, without doubt, the most inspirational speaker I have ever encountered. Thank you, Gavin, for sharing and being you.
