My latest feedback👇🏻, I can’t do anything about the schools I don’t get to visit but I can give 100% at the ones I do. Having the opportunity to make a difference & a positive impact continues to motivate me. Worked at over 500 UK schools now, still learning & sharing my knowledge.

Feedback from workshops I delivered recently👇🏻. I want to have an impact on the day BUT also provide a positive future reference point & experience that can be referred back to. Productive struggle is powerful for resilience & having visual results from Art emphasises that even more.

We should never underestimate the importance of productive struggle. That is where resilience is tested & built, you learn a lot about yourself & others in those challenging situations. Many pick the easy route but the harder ones are more beneficial in the long term. 1/2

Not sure if any1 needs to hear this but if it gives even 1 person some positivity, it will of been worth posting. I’ve had some great work experiences but I’ve also been in situations/scenarios that I didn’t really want to be in. However, I’m glad I had those bad experiences 1/3

Having the luxury of visiting/working at so many different schools (nearly 500 now), is beneficial in many ways. Not only does that continue to increase my knowledge which I share in CPD I deliver but it also enables me to provide schools with highly detailed feedback reports. 👇🏻

It’s important to highlight that you can believe that you are great at something & still have a Fixed Mindset.I share the true story of the negative impact that had on my exam results in the motivational assemblies I deliver, thats why heads get me in before SATS. True stories are impactful.Reviews👇🏻

If anyone is tracking their calories, looking for a Gluten Free snack or wanting a cheap chocolate or coconut fix, I can’t recommend these bars enough. They are so nice. You can pick a box of 5 up for £1 at Iceland. Other flavours available as well but these are excellent👌.

It’s so important we don’t make presumptions/assumptions. I always try to finish workshop days with a motivational assembly, by having it after everyone has worked with me, that allows me to link it to the sessions for greater impact.Many schools now invite the parents/carers to the talk so they 1/3

At a school recently,1 pupil asked if I would get to 500 schools(491 after delivering workshops at a Warwks school on Weds).I said “I hope so but I never take things for granted & then you don’t get disappointed.”Words are powerful,I want to promote positivity/food for thought.👇🏻
