Hannah Knowles is a passionate and engaging keynote speaker who specialises in wellbeing and positive psychology. With a career that spans events management, personal training and primary school teaching, she brings a wealth of experience and a practical, grounded approach to her work. Hannah is a key Trainer at Art of Brilliance, a wellbeing and leadership company founded by Andy Cope. Through this platform, she delivers high-impact keynotes and workshops across a wide range of audiences, including children, teenagers, adults, businesses, schools and NHS staff. Helping each group understand how small changes can make a big difference, Hannah is a leading voice in the realms of mental health and wellbeing.
With a strong background in psychology and a particular interest in positive psychology, Hannah’s sessions are built on evidence-based strategies delivered with energy and clarity. Her goal is to help people improve their lives in simple and achievable ways, and her plethora of qualifications, including Mental Health First Aid and a BS in Psychology, help her to do so. She focuses on giving audiences practical tools that are easy to use in everyday life, saving time rather than adding pressure. Hannah believes that wellbeing isn’t about radical changes, it’s about small steps that build into something powerful over time. This message resonates with people in all walks of life, making her a speaker who connects with everyone in the room.
Hannah’s strength lies in her ability to be both realistic and uplifting. She doesn’t promise to fix everything, but she does aim to help people make meaningful improvements in their mindset and routines. That personal shift often creates a ripple effect that spreads to families, teams and communities. Her experience in schools and with public services, including her former roles as a Student Representative at the University of Derby and a Primary School Teacher for the Department for Education, means she understands the demands of real life and tailors her talks to be relevant, inclusive, and genuinely useful.
She has delivered sessions for a wide range of clients, including NHS Scotland, Nottingham Trent University, the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Springfield School, the Women’s Institute, and North Northamptonshire Council. Feedback has been consistently outstanding, with many organisations inviting her back due to the lasting impact of her sessions.
