Adversity makes you a victim a hero, the choice is yours
There is no audience Seamus can't inspire. From corporate executives to primary school prep kids, Seamus has a knack for making people laugh and feel empowered to take those first steps toward their dreams.
An ambassador for Tourette Syndrome Association Australia, podcaster, speaker, media personality, father, and currently fumbling his way through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Seamus doesn't like to stay in his comfort zone.
After a 17-year career in broadcast media hosting TV shows and breakfast radio shows, Seamus now, is a culture catalyst, on a mission to inspire a million people by the end of 2030 and make a real impact on our world as we know it.
Just imagine a world where everyone is following their dreams. If a kid who tics like a Swiss watch, can't sit still, and has an attention span shorter than this sentence can do it, so can all of us.
Seamus partners with conferences, leadership teams, and progressive organisations who want more than a motivational moment. They want their people fired up, reconnected to purpose, and equipped to lead with courage in a world that's changing faster than ever.
If you're ready to invigorate your team and join the mission to inspire a million lives by 2030, Seamus is the speaker your next event has been waiting for.
Talking Points
Flaw to SUPERPOWER
In this keynote, Seamus shares his journey living with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, failing school, his brush with fame, addiction and mental health challenges, all while pursuing a long career in broadcast media spanning almost two decades.Flaw to SUPERPOWER
With no degree or formal education to fall back on, Seamus quickly discovered that talent only carries you so far. What separates those who survive from those who thrive is the courage to be themselves and the honesty to admit what needs work.
He taught himself to redirect his tics so they weren't seen on screen, trained himself to focus and hold down a job, and learned to lead with authenticity in industries that demanded polish.
So how does Seamus live with Tourette Syndrome? One tic at a time. Total Acceptance, Incremental Gains, and Complete Confidence. The same way we eat an elephant, one bite at a time.
This 'masterclass' keynote is a high-paced, engaging 50 minutes designed to re-energise the unmotivated and ignite the spark in unconventional staff who have so much more to offer their roles.
Teams walk away reconnected to their purpose, equipped with a framework they can apply on Monday morning, and ready to take on their biggest challenges with excitement rather than dread.

Seamus Evans | SUPERPOWER | Saxton Speakers
Seamus Evans was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at the age of 10. Feeling incredibly bored and disengaged at school, Seamus was more interested in making people laugh and distracting the class. As a result of not taking school seriously, Seamus graduated with horrible grades and hated hard physical labour so was stuck with limited career options. But Seamus already knew what he wanted to be when he 'grew up' a TV host! How does a 'dumb' kid with ADHD, Tourette Syndrome and an attention span shorter than this sentence land a job entertaining Australia?

Seamus Evans delivered a powerful and personal presentation, generously sharing his lived experience of managing Tourette’s in his day to day life and throughout his career. He talked about how accepting his condition allowed him to focus on what we can control, and strive for incremental gains which was both practical and inspiring. The staff found Seamus Evans’ session both engaging and interactive, particularly enjoying his use of activities like standing in power poses to bring his messages to life. They walked away with tangible tools to build resilience and a renewed confidence to make intentional choices for personal growth. It was a thought‑provoking session that will stay with many of us well beyond the day.
Seamus Evans delivered a vibrant, energetic, inspiring and motivating presentation for our students. His ability to share his story, his battles and struggles, as he learned to manage, live with, and then thrive with his perceived disability becoming his "superpower" and an asset rather than a hinderance in his successes. Seamus was funny and entertaining, while also showing vulnerability and honesty in sharing his story with the students. I have no doubt that many students walked away feeling buoyed by Seamus' words and inspired to make their perceived flaws or weaknesses, their very own "superpower".
Seamus was a highly engaging presenter and knew just how to read the audience, and get them laughing and listening at the same time. Seamus explained that everyone identifies flaws or weaknesses within themselves that they hide for fear of being judged, before explaining his life journey on how he overcame his flaws and turned them into his superpower. This message of acceptance, passion and determination was well received and inspiring to the young men of St Laurence's College.
The monotony of hotel quarantine turned to variety when members of the Australian Paralympic Team had the opportunity to listen and engage with Seamus Evans. It was an inspiring session, where Seamus cleverly brought understanding to Tourette Syndrome with a beautiful sense of humour and enthusiasm. Seamus is engaging, the content is informative and he captures the audience with his vulnerability.
A great positive energy to be around and such an inspirational talk. Loved your presence Seamus. Great sense of humour of course and as humble as anyone canpossibly be.
Very entertaining and provided a look into how someone can turn their greatest vulnerabilities intoa personal strength to grow into your own career ambitions.
The Housing team absolutely loved Seamus - he was funny, engaging and personable. Very inspiring story and he set a great tone for our 2 day conference!
Seamus not only created a safe space to talk about these challenges and normalised ‘flaws’, but also used humour to extend this conversation into being proud of difference. The University of Newcastle looks forward to having you back.
It was simply a brilliant keynote speech for our delegates, and the feedback has been nothing but positive.
Seamus authentically presents his story of resilience and naturally captures the attention of young people. His engaging and humorous nature helps young people to easily relate to his experiences. Seamus does a fantastic job in sharing his interesting journey, of the challenges he faced with Tourette Syndrome, and the valuable lessons he learned along the way to overcome adversity.
