My story.

Two very different careers.

Jamie Baulch portrait

I spent years chasing hundredths of a second. But some of the biggest lessons I've learned came away from the track. Fifteen years at the top of world athletics taught me about pressure, teamwork and what it takes to perform when it really matters — and it gave me moments I'll never forget: Olympic silver in Atlanta, World and European gold, and a British Indoor 400m record that still stands nearly three decades later.

When the racing stopped, the next chapter began. I moved into television — Question of Sport, Dancing on Ice, Celebrity Mastermind, and presenting for the BBC and ITV — and I didn't stop there. I've built and backed businesses across fundraising, fashion and wellbeing, from BidAid's charity technology to Crow & Jester tailoring and the Wellness Worldwide Club retreats.

What ties it all together is a belief in resilience, reinvention and honest conversation. Whether I'm speaking to a room of executives, working with a brand, or mentoring young people, I talk about the real stuff: winning, losing, identity, setbacks and how you keep moving forward.

This site is the best place to understand who I am, what I do now and how we might work together.

Performance. Pressure. Resilience. Reinvention.

What elite sport teaches about winning and losing.

Elite sport is not about being fearless. It is about learning to perform while the fear is there. The same is true in business, in media and in life. I talk about pressure, confidence, identity, setbacks and rebuilding — because the skills that get you through a bad race are the same ones that get you through a bad quarter, a difficult conversation or a major life change.

Where it started.

Fifteen years at world level, and one mark that still hasn't been beaten.

  • 1997World champion, 4x400m relay
  • 1999World Indoor 400m champion

  • Still standingBritish Indoor 400m record holder

What clients say

We have used BidAid for the silent auction at several Hope and Homes for Children events, from very large gala events to small golf days. The process is extremely simple and efficient, enabling the easy creation of a fantastic silent auction site that is very easy for everyone to use.
Mark Waddington CBE — Chief Executive, Hope and Homes for Children
Jamie has, without question, been fundamental to the success of the Jaguar Academy of Sport. His knowledge of the industry, coupled with an immense network of contacts, has been invaluable and continues to prove so as the Academy develops.
Geoff Cousins — Managing Director, Jaguar UK
His authentic and enthusiastic presentation, like Jamie himself, was bubbling with energy from start to finish. Jamie had us laughing, and a few even shed a tear or two, throughout what was one of the best public speeches we've seen.
Pip Thomas — Training Manager, Hugh James Solicitors
