Meet Brian Kennedy – The Bulletproof Banker Behind bjkennomotivation

With over 40 years of senior leadership experience across global teams in top-tier organisations spanning Finance, Industrial Relations, and the Vehicle Hire Industry, Brian Kennedy brings unmatched insight into high-performance leadership and resilience.

As an EMCC coach with a Higher Diploma in Mental Health Coaching, Brian empowers professionals to manage stress, reframe challenges, and consistently perform at their best—drawing from both science-backed techniques and lived experience.

Brian is also a Marathon and Ultra-Marathon runner, a testament to his endurance and mental strength. His remarkable journey includes surviving seven armed robberies during his banking career and enduring 84-hour work weeks, which led to a period of mental exhaustion. These experiences shaped his mission to help others build resilience and thrive under pressure.

From the Heart of the Audience

"I have worked with Brian on a number of Mortgage Projects and at all times found Brian to be totally engaged on delivery from a customer viewpoint, Brian has immense experience and skills in the Financial Services. Brian brings his engagement and customer centric common sense to bear whilst also calling out key issues for the wider bank. Many colleagues would agree that Brian is to go to person on many project related/business issues.

I have also attended one of Brian's wellness events and admire his openness and drive whilst sharing some very personal family times and how these can make you stronger to take on any tasks and challenges."
