Anti-Bullying Talk for young people
Talk #2 – The Real Superpower
Who this talk is for
For any age group in schools and workplaces.
If you have experienced bullying, perpetrated it or have a culture within your establishment you want to change this talk will help.
The aim is to shift the focus to a collective effort on tackling bullying, to embed it in your culture that it is not acceptable.
By focusing on the bystander aspect we are showing you have to remove the focus from the event and more toward the root cause of the bullying.
What the talk covers
As someone that suffered horrific bullying in secondary school, this talk is about the power dynamics that exist.
The relationship between the victim, the bully, and the person with the most power. The bystander.
This talk helps to reframe the thinking of all three views and aims to be another tool to stop bullying in all forms. This talk can also be tailored to HR and management teams, in order to assist in preventing workplace bullying.
Being consistent in your behaviours
Talk #3 – Consistency with or over hard work
Who this talk is for
All young people from ages 12-18.
The talk aims to get young people thinking about the value of consistency. It asks the question what is more important hard work or consistency?
The talk is for anyone that is looking at big tasks and wondering how they can achieve such a lofty goal. This will show you it can be done.
What the talk covers
Working together we will explore the idea that whatever you want to achieve it can be done using consistency and goal setting. Coupling all of this with hard work, the talk shows how even the loftiest of goals can be within reach.
Within the talk, I use real-world and very personal examples of how this methodology really works.
The talk can be tailored to suit any age group and can be expanded into an interactive session with students.
