Reflective, philosophical, occasionally shocking and darkly humorous, Shaun Attwood’s Life Lessons seeks to help young people put their lives into perspective as they wrestle with the trials of adulthood. These lessons are told through hard-hitting stories from Shaun’s life – from high-flying share trader and party animal to prisoner in Arizona’s deadliest jail and super-maximum security prison. In an age which sees an increasing weight of pressure fall upon young shoulders, teenagers and young twenty-somethings will find this talk offers invaluable support and an array of tools they can use as they negotiate the pitfalls and hairpin bends of their own lives. LESSON 1: LEARN TO LOVE THE RIGHT PERSON LESSON 2: LET GO OF FEAR AND ANXIETY AND BUILD RESILIENCE LESSON 3: IDENTIFY AND OVERCOME ADDICTIONS LESSON 4: MAKE SLOW AND CAREFUL PROGRESS LESSON 5: HELP OTHERS LESSON 6: VALUE YOUR FAMILY LESSON 7: HOW TO DEAL WITH TRICKY PEOPLE LESSON 8: CHERISH LIFE AND THE SMALL THINGS LESSON 9: LEARN A RELAXATION TECHNIQUE LESSON 10: LEARN TO LOOK INSIDE Students who have attended Shaun’s Drugs and Prison Presentation generally request to hear Shaun speak again at their school. This new talk provides your students an opportunity to hear Shaun get deeper into his story in a far more reflective and intimate way. It offers practical support to anyone seeking to conquer and control their own runaway lifestyle; an absolute must in this day and age as stressful situations and day-to-day responsibilities threaten to overwhelm us. Shaun offers the antidote to this pandemic and delivers his advice using a mix of humorous and terrifying anecdotes and with a voice born of experience and new-found harmony and humility. “The speech you delivered to Holy Trinity was extremely inspirational. You truly motivated the members of year 10 to stay on the right track in life. You taught us so many incredible life lessons that will stick with us throughout our lives. Although now we would think that we would never do such a thing but there are times when we get so caught up in life and end up taking the wrong decisions but from now on whenever we face such situations we will look back and learn from your story so thank you very much!” “Life Lessons (LL) was the ideal presentation for our Year 11 students. We had had Shaun in for a drugs talk before (another school had highly recommended him to us) and our students were so impressed that they wanted him back! As our Year 11s were feeling the stress and tension that eats into so many young people of their age, we booked Shaun to come in again a couple of months later and deliver LL. |
