I’m still building on what I offer and deliver. Potential is never full, it’s unlimited. The more positive experiences the better, struggle isn’t a bad thing, it’s a learning zone. Role models should not be perfect, mistakes are normal. 2/2 #GrowthMindset
To build & support resilience building, activities need to be challenging. To boost confidence & self-esteem levels,visual proof & changing perceptions of what someone can achieve are powerful. I’ve worked at 512 UK schools now in 43 of the 48 English Counties & at schools in Wales and Scotland. 1/2

Been a busy Jan, I’ve delivered the workshops,motivational assemblies & CPD at different schools in multiple counties including Herts,Bucks, Worcs & Derbyshire.Looking forward to visiting more schools in Feb including ones in Gloucs & Northumberland.Latest review 👇🏻.
Worked at 507 UK schools now.
I’ve now worked at 504 UK Schools. Over 20% have booked me multiple times & some heads move schools and rebook me again. It’s not even about the next school I work at it, it’s each & every classroom. I can have an immediate & long term impact on children & adults. 👇🏻
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.
benefits for children & adults, please check out what I offer.If you would like to speak to me,please let me know. I have attached some of my reference extracts below. Some schools get me to work with the wider community including parents.Thank you for your time & enjoy the rest of the holidays. 2/2
By the October break, I will have worked at over 500 UK schools. If you are a Mental Health & Well-being Lead, Art Lead, Maths Lead, appreciate the importance of Growth Mindset, looking for workshops with strong PSHE links or even wanting a positive & enjoyable activity day with immediate & long 1/2
Been a hectic 2 weeks, I’ve travelled over 1,000 miles to deliver workshops at schools in E.Riding,E.Sussex,Oxon & Gloucs. Some have also had CPD.If you are looking for an inspiring day for this term or in Autumn. Please let me know. Work completed for 498 UK schools so far.
In my workshops, I see a wide range of reactions & emotions in different environments.
Sometimes I see frustration but I also see participants rubbing their hands together, embracing challenges & relishing the opportunity to test themselves. Resilience is important for wellbeing. 2/2
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
appreciation of how fortunate you are when the nicer, better and more rewarding elements come your way. A positive mindset & a sense of humour can bring light to a dark tunnel & a supportive network around you is invaluable as well. Enjoy the weekend everyone. 3/3
because not only were they opportunities for me to learn & grow but also helped to build my own levels of resilience. I also genuinely believe that to truly value the better jobs,days & other things in life that those bad experiences give you true perspective and a better 2/3
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. 👇🏻
I am starting to get very busy now due to schools wanting to end the academic year with a very enjoyable day with immediate/long term benefits.Some are
booking the CPD sessions I deliver for the Autumn Term, if of interest, please let me know.

My latest review👇🏻. It’s always about not just the next school I visit but about the next classroom I work in & all of the pupils & staff in that classroom. If you are looking for a positive experience for pupils & staff with immediate & long term benefits, please let me know.Worked @490+ UK schools.
I stayed in this room this week, it was a nice room & gave me a licence to chill ! Sorry 😂
brilliant completed pictures. Staff are very enthusiastic, deserve great credit & are excellent role models. A genuine pleasure to visit your fantastic school & work at a school which is a true reflection of their positive values. Well Done Everyone. 2/2 👏🏻👌
I had a great day delivering the workshops at All Souls’ CE Primary in Heywood yesterday.The pupils impressed me in many ways & especially with regards to their fantastic resilience levels,excellent attitudes to learning,exemplary conduct & great work ethics,all of which were reflected in their 1/2
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👌.
The answer was 0 ! If people don’t know about something & what it is, how can we expect them to promote it outside of school ?. I talk about the importance of getting parents/carers onboard with Growth Mindset in the CPD sessions I deliver otherwise it’s counterproductive. 3/3
can see the impact I have had on the children & hear why the Growth Mindset theory is so important. In 2024,1 assembly I delivered at a small school was very well attended, nearly 40 adults turned up. When I asked them if they had heard of Growth Mindset, how many of them told me that they had ? 2/3
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
