Nicolas Hamilton is a British racing driver and disability advocate.
Nic talks candidly about the many challenges he has faced throughout his life and the mindset and techniques he has used to overcome them.
Born with Cerebral Palsy, which affects the movement of his leg muscles, Nicolas was initially a wheelchair user. He endured years of gruelling, painful training so that by the age of 17 he could walk completely unaided. A huge achievement in itself, but this was just the first part of his unwavering determination to become a professional racing driver.
Nicolas was told as a child that he would never walk due to his cerebral palsy and would spend his life reliant on a wheelchair. Not one to be told he cannot do things, with determination and gruelling training, he not only walked unaided, but he started to realise his dream: to be a racing driver.
In a notoriously competitive and tough sport, Nicolas has established himself as a potential future champion, an achievement in any context, but even more so for someone who was told as a child that he would never walk. As well as racing, Nicolas is focused on sharing his inspirational story and his belief that your ambition is limited only by your attitude.
Delivered in his genuine, down-to-earth, friendly manner, Nicolas’ keynotes recount his personal story of motivation, facing down challenges and overcoming adversity as well as the lessons in teamwork that his sport has instilled.

Can I Request a Speaker Not Listed on Your Website?
Yes! We have access to an extensive network of speakers beyond those listed online. Let us know who you’re interested in, and we’ll approach them on your behalf.
How Do I Book a Speaker or Host?
Booking a speaker or host through AOK Entertains is a simple and hassle-free process. We showcase only a selection of speakers on our website, so the first step is to get in touch and request our full brochure. Once you’ve chosen a speaker, we’ll provide a detailed quote and check availability for your preferred date. After confirming the deposit, we handle all the logistics – contracts, travel, accommodation, and more. We’ll also work closely with you on a detailed event brief to ensure the speaker delivers exactly what you need.
Why Book With AOK Entertains?
Booking directly with individual speakers can be time-consuming and complicated. AOK Entertains simplifies the process, drawing on over 25 years of industry experience and strong relationships with top talent. We negotiate fair rates, manage all logistical details, and prepare robust contracts to protect your interests. Our team is always on hand to troubleshoot any challenges that arise, allowing you to focus on enjoying your event.
How Far in Advance Should I Make a Booking?
We recommend booking high-profile speakers 9–12 months in advance to secure your preferred date. For more flexible schedules, we can often accommodate shorter notice bookings. However, booking at least 3 months before your event ensures the smoothest experience, allowing plenty of time to tailor the event to your needs.
