Meet James

My name is James Hoare and I have had an eventful life to date. There have been many highs and many lows. I developed a condition called hydrocephalus soon after my birth, which required 2 brain surgeries plus 2 associated procedures before I was 11 years old.

However, I have had a full life, including graduating from university, doing overseas aid work, mountain climbing and running a half marathon. I was also assaulted some 8 years ago, which lead to my needing further brain surgery, & which necessitated my absence from work for about 4 and a half years. I have learnt a lot about myself – and others – in the years since then. I started public speaking in 2020, as I wanted to use my life experiences to help other people who are going through difficult times, whatever they may be...
