About the Workshop
Geoff can bring his experience of overcoming challenges to help young people develop straightforward tools to deliver success, increase resilience, overcome fear, and increase motivation to help inspire students to face and make the best of every situation and opportunity in their lives ahead.
Geoff competed in High Jump at 2 Olympic Games, has 1 European and 3 Commonwealth medals, was the British record holder for 6 years, led his country in his final championship appearance and has a unique achievement within British Athletics, breaking the senior British High Jump record whilst still a schoolboy, at the schools championships.
These talks can fit in to your typical school timetable, with talks usually lasting 45-60 minutes.
These talks are effective when delivered to audiences of varying sizes, ranging from a class of 30 in a classroom, to a full year group in a lecture style set up. These can be delivered across the day to different groups of students as per your usual timetable of 4-6 lessons a day.
We can also run complementary motivation, resilience, and well-being sessions alongside this, using our team of expert education communicators. You can find more information on these workshops here: https://www.learnbydesign.co.uk/wellbeingworkshops
