Testimonials from Teachers

"The students who participated in the Do Something Program were fully motivated and enthusiastic throughout. It helped them to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and to think about the future and what they can achieve if they try their best. Working together as a team for 10 weeks helped the students to focus on team - building, supporting each other and their peers, reflecting on their actions and consequences and producing a Presentation which was well received by our Year 7 students."

– Miss S Sookdeo, Head of Yr 9, Kingsbury School

"The pupils at Great Barr School have thoroughly loved working with Errol Lawson on the Leadership Development Program. Errol has provided energetic and fun sessions with our pupils whilst keeping them focused and on task.

"Most were in on results day. All were happy and knew what they wanted to do in Sept. Thank you so much for your help with this lot. I remember this time last year feeling genuinely lost as how to move forward with them all; the fact that they made it to the end of Year 11 is a real credit to the work you did with them and the fact that they got some really pleasing results really shows how far they progressed."

“Errol Lawson’s session at our Senior Leaders’ event is still being talked about months later! One leader described it as the best event they had ever attended and the simple yet thought-provoking topics Errol covered is already changing behaviours across the organisation. Errol’s engaging and inspirational approach captured the attention of over 120 leaders, who are now applying the principles in the way they lead their people.”

"Errol was simply fantastic. Without question, everybody really enjoyed the morning. Personally I have taken on board so much of the content and was pleased to share some of the information with my family, particularly my younger son. I have also placed an order for one of the books, ‘Art of being a brilliant teenager.’ Everybody enjoyed the session, Errol was fantastic and so inspiring. Thank you"

"Errol did a phenomenal job last week and it was a joy to work with him. It’s not an easy task to keep such a broad mix of frontline staff engaged but through powerful storytelling, Errol achieved this. There were some very useful takeaway messages and I can confidently say that ALL of our staff were left feeling inspired and empowered."
