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.

M Kalyan, The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust

We have had such positive feedback from staff and pupils. Staff have said that it was the pick-me-up that the pupils needed as well as the staff themselves. It was great to see a level of engagement from pupils and how Errol adapted to meeting the needs of the different audiences.

C Israel, Grace Academy Darlaston

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
