'Growing up as the daughter of a window cleaner in Norfolk, I never imagined I'd end up interviewing prime ministers and breaking national headlines. If there's one thing I want every student to know, it's this: your background doesn't decide your future. Hard work and self-belief do.'
Kate Hemingway spent 20 years working in national and regional TV and radio, most recently as a Senior Producer and on-screen correspondent for ITV's Good Morning Britain. One of her stories reached 20 million views. She's interviewed loan sharks, tracked down criminal gang leaders and reported from inside hospital wards during the Covid-19 pandemic - but she's just as comfortable in a school hall as a newsroom.
As a CET Level 4 qualified teacher, Kate designs every talk around what actually lands with young people: real stories, honest failures and practical tools they can use immediately - whether that's finding the confidence to speak up in class, building a personal brand before a job interview, or thinking critically about what they see online.
She's not a motivational speaker reciting a script. She's a working journalist, and media production company director, who still freelances on national television - bringing students genuine behind-the-scenes insight they can't get anywhere else.
