Colin Jackson, a world record holder, beloved media personality, and inspirational speaker, is a national treasure and one of Great Britain’s most recognised athletes.
Colin Jackson retired from a decorated, multi-medal career, and his infectious personality made him the perfect fit for the BBC’s athletics commentary team. Over the past 15 years, he’s become a key member of the team, covering major events like the 2004 Rio Olympics, the London 2012 Olympics, the 2016 Rio Games, and the 2020 Tokyo Games.
In recent years, Colin has emerged as a prominent advocate for diversity, inclusion, and mental health. His candid discussions on the pressures of elite competition, as well as personal struggles with anxiety, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia, have resonated with both media and live audiences. In 2020, he hosted BBC’s Panorama film Athletes, addressing the often hidden challenges faced by professional athletes.
Committed to education, Colin became the Schools Ambassador for Wey Education in 2019 and continues to support the online learning provider, particularly during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, for the last three years, he has co-hosted a popular Sunday morning radio show on BBC Radio Wales with his sister, Suzanne Packer. Colin has also enjoyed success on entertainment shows such as Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing On Ice, Celebrity MasterChef, and Who Do You Think You Are?.
Beyond media and broadcasting, Colin plays a crucial role in charity work. He serves on the steering panel for Sport Relief, is an International Inspiration Ambassador for UNICEF, and founded the Go Dad Run campaign for prostate cancer awareness. Since 2014, he has been the Sporting Director for the Wings for Life Red Bull charity.
More relevant now than ever, Colin’s personable and professional demeanour, along with his high profile, make him a sought-after figure in the commercial sector. He’s a charismatic and confident host for conferences and award shows, as well as a highly engaging motivational speaker.
Colin has faced different types of prejudice throughout his career. As a speaker, he can discuss the power of living authentically and how businesses can create an inclusive environment.
Based on his own experience of failure, Colin teaches audiences how to overcome hurdles in their personal and professional lives.
An athlete is only as successful as the goals they set. Colin shows audiences the importance of goal setting and how they can cultivate an athlete’s approach.
High-performance teams are unstoppable. With a speaker like Colin Jackson, your audience will learn how to use resilience and teamwork to create high-performance teams.
Without resilience, an athlete will give up at the first hurdle. Colin leaves audiences with a better understanding of mental health and the importance of resilience.
Colin, a huge thank you for being such a superb host for our National Training Award events. You hit just the right note, made the winners feel special and brought your own personal energy and enthusiasm to all the events. We were also delighted that your own skills development journey mirrored our aims and objectives so well. Thank you
