DANCOP Motivation Speaker

Motivational Webinar with Stephen

Stephen’s motivational talk will focus on overcoming life changing events and how opportunities can be found in the strangest of places. His session will include personal setbacks and the opportunities that they led to, including involvement with disability sport and being part of the UK disabled shooting squad. During his session learners will be asked to consider:

• What would hell on earth be like for you?

• What is true success?

• Where can your values take you?

Disclaimer: In these talks, our athletes describe the lowest points in their lives and how they overcame them. This is where the lessons for us are found. Considering this, please be aware that this talk makes mention of topics some viewers may find difficult to listen to. Across our speakers, the following triggering topics are mentioned: alcohol, depression, bullying, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, near-fatal accidents, amputation, chronic pain and illness, bereavement and assault. These topics are not to upset people. They are the real stories of our athletes and only serve to demonstrate the resilience they needed to recover from their setbacks to give context to their inspirational stories and subsequent lessons that we can also learn from.

Please note that all talks are positive in their conclusions and aspirational in their messaging. Most listeners will benefit from the talk by applying the lessons learnt to their own challenges. In some cases, listeners may relate directly to the experiences of our athletes and they will receive encouragement and a practical example of how to get through overcome and move forward.

However, we understand that this may be an overwhelming experience for some participants so if you are aware of learners in your group who are particularly vulnerable to some of the above topics and would like more specific details on your speaker to ensure the material is appropriate for your learners, or you would like to change your speaker, please contact Jared Patel (jaredpatel@bydesign-group.co.uk) or myself.
