Never think what you have to offer is insignificant. There will always be someone out there who needs what YOU have to give! From getting into trouble, getting sent out, detentions to this... Humbled I was able to help... Chiswick School #MondayMotivation #school #coaching

'If you do what is EASY your life will be HARD, but if you do what is HARD your life will become EASY'... (Les Brown). Working with @CumberlandE13 Year 8 and 9 to support a successful mindset... #raisingaspirations #changingbehaviour #increasingconfidence #schools #groupwork

When you go to make impact and change but they impact and change you. Nothing but a sense of pride as I look back at the sincerity and support these year 10s had for one another. Great progress! Chiswick School #lockdown #schools #year10 #motivation #impact #change #education

Great online talk organised by TeenSummit/KeishaJohn!!! 3 professionals sharing our views about the next generation of young men and how we can support them on their journey of self awareness and maturity. Had a great time conversing with these gentlemen! #schools #youth #lockdownuk

DON'T TOUCH ME YOU BLACK MAN!!! The first time I felt racism. When was your first time? #80s #blackboys #london #racism #changingthenarrative #mediation #reflections #RIPGeorgeFloyd

'A SHIP IN THE HARBOUR IS SAFE, BUT THATS NOT WHAT SHIPS ARE BUILT FOR' (JOHN SHEDD) Worked with this group of amazing students motivating, inspiring and empowering them to make this important GCSE year their best yet.💥💥💥 #school #education #students #gcse The Heathland School

Another brilliant motivational coaching session delivered by Mervyn from Uni of Greenwich Thank you, Mervyn!✨

ENDS ARE NOT BAD THINGS 😭😭😭 THEY JUST MEAN SOMETHING ELSE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. 🌄 Final session of my 6 week programmes can be bitter sweet. I'll miss the banter, conversations, learning and sharing 🥺 but definitely excited for their future! The Heathland School

2 hard working Y10 students got a special HOODRICH gift donated by Les Rowe from ACED Project CIC 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 to reward them for effort. The beautiful thing was that they had full support from the group. The Heathland School #school #Students #year10 #YoungPeople #workshops

They say that if you're not GROWING 🌹 your DYING 🥀. TRUE OR FALSE? It's a privilege to work with these adult learners. Despite competing responsibilities of work, children and circumstance, they're still pursuing their goals. @Westking #students #London #coaching #Speaker

Last assembly speaking to Year 10 students at Orleans Park School. Mr Dodge organised a Careers Day for them 👌🏿 I was the final keynote. What would life look like if we were guaranteed a positive outcome in life's scenarios? What would we do different? Can it be done now?

We should all be concerned about this and perhaps even more so for the comments I've seen that think this is ok. Remember this is supposed to be policing by consent. We hope and expect young and vulnerable people to trust the authorities not be traumatised by them.

BEHIND MY BEHAVIOUR IS MY #BELIEF 💭 If he continued to truly believe I didn't like him, what effect would this have had on his #engagement? What affect would this have had on his #behaviour? What affect would this have had on the outcome of these sessions? 🤔 #school #Speaker
