Kev House is a transformational keynote speaker and Positive Change Specialist, who inspires audiences by sharing his remarkable journey of resilience, personal growth and overcoming adversity. Once an out-of-control, obese, heavy-drinking Type 1 Diabetic, Kev faced a life-or-death ultimatum from doctors in 2006. Realising it was time to take responsibility, he embarked on a life-changing mission to reinvent himself.
Kev's story resonates with audiences because it’s deeply relatable - he, too, struggled with failed attempts to change and dismissed personal development ideas as “airy fairy positivity stuff”. But when he decided to approach change with an open mind, the results were nothing short of astounding. Kev took on what seemed an impossible goal at the time: running the New York City Marathon in 2007. Achieving this milestone transformed not only his health but his entire outlook on life, leading to more energy, better diabetic control, a flourishing career, and an improved sense of self-worth.
Kev’s keynote speeches focus on the power of mindset, self-awareness, grit, and self-love. Drawing from his own experiences, he provides practical strategies to help individuals take control of their lives, set meaningful goals, and cultivate resilience in the face of challenges. His talks are packed with humour, authenticity, and actionable insights that leave audiences inspired to tackle their own obstacles head-on.
Through his dynamic presentations, Kev motivates both children and adults to manage their minds, embrace personal responsibility, and unlock their full potential. His story isn’t just about surviving - it’s about thriving, and he empowers audiences to discover their own path to greatness.

The world needs more of KEV!" - South & City College Birmingham
"The Art of Brilliance and Kev exceeded our expectations; we were unsure what to expect but the training was both enjoyable and extremely thought-provoking. Kev's style was engaging and interactive, which kept everyone involved and interested throughout the session. Kev was always approachable and willing to answer any questions, his practical examples and real-life scenarios provided helpful understanding and were again thought-provoking. We would highly recommend the sessions to anyone and will be looking to use Art of Brilliance again in the future." - Nuclear Transport Solutions
"The session was lively and interactive and on message, aligning really well with our culture and values. Since the session loads of people have fed back how positive and useful they found the content and keep quoting sections of the morning back to each other. Someone also said it changed their approach at home and they felt much more positive." - Orwell Housing
"Having had a short introduction to Art of Brilliance at a previous conference, I knew I wanted to get the team in to do something with our team at the Resort. What Kev delivered was thought-provoking and motivating with a dash of humour and bucketloads of enthusiasm! I would recommend it!" - Alton Towers Resort
"Our team found the workshop inspiring and energising, and it was such a lovely opportunity to come together, which we don't always get to do. Kev was energetic, human, funny and engaging. I think we all came away with something that resonated with us, and that team leaders can take forward with their team members." - Nottingham Trent University
"Kevin is an outstanding, energetic and talented speaker. He has a natural and unique ability to captivate an audience and really compel them to listen. All were delivered with a fantastic sense of humour. I had the great fortune of hearing him speak at the Inspire London conference at Google this month and was blown away. Kevin is on a mission to make people realise they can choose to be happy - positivity is a choice - we can all become great leaders by adopting this philosophy. Book him up now!" - Catherine, Global CMO, Uncommon Creative Studio
"It is remarkable the effect that Kevin had delivering a workshop to a group of manufacturing individuals who were about to lose their jobs. Kevin was able to come to our facility in Westborough, MA, USA and connect with 120 people over two days and engage them in recognizing their own power. These individuals have moved on to new opportunities and even those who are still looking for that new job have this positive voice in their heads and continue to remain confident and creative in their new journeys. Thank you, Kevin - you bring real power to people." - Hugh, Manager L&D Talent Development, Cytiva
