Mervyn is an extremely passionate and highly experienced practitioner with an astute ability to fuse his insightful experience into his speaking. He possesses a great ability to engage his audiences through the use of effective storytelling and as a result he has consistently received feedback about how he has left his audiences “spellbound”. One of Mervyn’s powerful strengths is his ability to deeply reflect on his own journey and then share his experiences in a way that challenges inspires and encourages his audience.

His down to earth nature has a way of inviting apathetic students to genuinely explore what it would look like for them to be committed to being their best and due to his experience Mervyn is able to deliver to powerfully as well as leaving his audiences with more than enough food for thought. His extensive work in prisons usually wins him immediate credibility with students and his passion, delivery and eclectic range of skills as a speaker keep his audiences engaged from beginning to end."

"The incredibly inspiring Mervyn Mensah was in full flow as he presented to our Year 11 and Year 13s in an assembly at Park Academy West London this morning. Our students were spellbound by his motivational allegory on resilience, resistance and confronting our lions and ropes that can hold us back from achievement. Truly Aspirational!"

"Mervyn delivered an inspirational session to our students. The session was interactive and engaging and the students benefited from it greatly. What impressed me the most about Mervyn was the way he connected with the students and how he got his message across to them instantly. My teaching staff present also commented that Mervyn communicated on the students’ level, the session related to real life situations. We appreciated his experiences, how the stories linked in to the students’ goals and how they could be successful. I would definitely recommend Mervyn to deliver motivational workshops to students - he is an inspirational person."

"Mervyn Mensah has worked here at Anstee Bridge with Katherine Greening and myself several times over the last four years, helping our disadvantaged students with our creative and artistic workshops. Not only is Mervyn reliable, punctual, well organised and polite but more importantly he is very skilled in communicating with our students. He is a positive, enthusiastic person, able to motivate the many different sorts of characters we have, and lay down ground rules and enforce them in a way that keeps individuals and the group on board."
