Alex Robson

Alex Robson is an actor, model and keynote speaker who brings a candid, authentic and refreshingly humorous perspective to resilience, confidence and performance. Living and working with Cerebral Palsy, Alex has built a strong presence in front of the camera while developing a distinctive voice on stage. His biggest career achievements include working on Richard Hunter’s upcoming feature film ‘Sour Taste’, appearing in Scope’s 2024 campaign film and building experience across high profile commercial modelling and performance projects. As a speaker, Alex combines professional insight with lived experience, using humour, honesty and relatable storytelling to show audiences how resilience can be developed through everyday challenges rather than only major moments of adversity.

Alex’s early career developed through acting and modelling, industries that demand confidence, adaptability and the ability to perform under pressure. Working in front of the camera gave Alex first-hand experience of managing expectations, responding quickly to changing environments and remaining composed when attention is firmly focused on performance. At the same time, living with Cerebral Palsy meant navigating additional physical and practical challenges in a world that is not always designed with accessibility in mind. From inaccessible streets and public transport to unexpected barriers in professional environments, these experiences became formative rather than restrictive. Alex learned to approach obstacles with a combination of determination, problem solving and humour, qualities that would later become central to his speaking work. His experiences on set and in daily life have shaped his belief that resilience is not about ignoring difficulty, it is about adapting intelligently, maintaining perspective and finding ways to keep moving forward.

Throughout his career, Alex has continued to expand his professional profile as an actor and model, gaining experience across film, campaign work and commercial projects. His screen credits include Richard Hunter’s feature film ‘Sour Taste’, while his role in Scope’s 2024 campaign film placed him within a prominent project connected to disability visibility and representation. Alex has also worked across high profile commercial projects, strengthening his ability to communicate confidently and authentically on camera. Alongside these achievements, he has established himself as a keynote speaker specialising in resilience, inclusion, communication, confidence and performance. Alex’s ability to translate professional and personal experience into practical lessons is central to his appeal. Rather than presenting resilience as an abstract concept, he explores how it is developed through everyday friction, uncomfortable situations, social barriers and moments that demand quick thinking, confidence and persistence.

Organisations should hire Alex when they want a speaker who can deliver meaningful lessons without losing warmth, energy or humour. His keynote topics include resilience, problem solving, drive, communication, social connection, inclusion, self belief, visibility and authentic performance, all areas that are increasingly important in workplaces where people must navigate change, pressure and difference. In ‘Mind the Gap: Turning Everyday Friction into Fuel’, Alex explores how obstacles can become opportunities to adapt and achieve more. In ‘Laughter as a Life Skill: Breaking Barriers Through Humor’, he demonstrates how humour can reduce tension, strengthen empathy and improve human connection. In ‘Owning the Frame: Building Confidence and Authentic Presence’, Alex focuses on self belief, visibility and performing authentically. Candid, engaging and relatable, Alex is a compelling keynote speaker who combines lived experience with professional performance expertise, giving audiences practical tools to approach challenges with greater confidence, adaptability and determination.
