Jaz Ampaw-Farr Biography
Multi-award-winning inspirational speaker and one of the top female motivational speakers in the UK, Jaz Ampaw-Farr is a force of nature who galvanizes people to take action. This world-class re-framer has a unique ability to help people reframe their stories and situations, bringing transformation in their work, life, and communities. This is Ampaw-Farr’s alchemy.
Ampaw-Farr combines lessons learned from a challenging and often brutal childhood with those from her rise to TV presenter, TEDx Speaker, stand-up comedian, and Z-list reality TV star. Her authentic honesty and humor consistently empower people to think differently about leading themselves and others.
Along with her husband Ed, Ampaw-Farr is co-founder of the leadership development consultancy Be Human First Limited. Together, they help leaders who want to influence, inspire, and motivate their teams with greater engagement in order to grow their businesses and leave a lifelong legacy.
In her TEDx talk, she re-storied her life as a broken child, highlighting the transformative power we have to make a difference. Ampaw-Farr’s determination drove her from appalling abuse at the hands of her own parents to running away from foster care and life as a teen on the streets, to advising countries on education policy and living as the resilience influencer she is today. Her TEDx Talk has been viewed in over 120 countries, and Ampaw-Farr was awarded Speaker Of The Year and Best Live Gig at The Speaker Awards 2022 (UK).
As a speaker, Ampaw-Farr has a disarming ability to captivate her audience and share her story with humor and humility and without anger or bitterness. She invites people into a more authentic narrative around choice and agency, leaving individuals and organizations reporting an increase in determination and productivity. Ampaw-Farr speaks internationally and works with industry leaders such as Skillsoft, The Marketing Society, Gucci, RED, The Festival Of Media, and the BBC.
Ampaw-Farr’s ability to reframe and overcome adversity means she sees the world in a unique way, which challenges and ignites those around her, lifting them out of what she calls "mindset poverty" into previously unachievable outcomes.
