Stephen

Biography

I am an Inclusion teacher, Activity Alliance Tutor, Author, Educator, Public Speaker, and Mental Health Advocate. I've worked in business management, local government, and sports development. I have also worked as a sports coach coaching from beginner to elite level.

Since retiring from my proper job in 2015, I spend my time helping others change the world, one thought at a time. I do this through education and the delivery of courses and workshops.

The experience I gained in business and local government, particularly my work with ethnic communities, the homeless, people with disabilities, and people with mental health conditions give me a certain perspective when delivering courses such as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion, Mental Health & Wellbeing in the Workplace and Supporting and fostering good mental health in children and adolescents.

Equally, my sporting background, coaching from grassroots up to elite level, gives a degree of authority when delivering courses such as How Authentic Leaders use a Sporting Mindset to build effective teams.

When not teaching, I enjoy mentoring and working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
