Real Talk. Real Impact.
Talks and workshops for schools, sixth forms, colleges, and universities.
What this is
Talks and workshops for young people, from Year 9 to university, and for the staff who carry them. The subject is the three things grades alone do not give: resilience, identity, and direction.
Almost one in eight young people in the UK is not in education, employment, or training, and the first step into work has narrowed. Most of them do not need another lecture. They need someone who has been where they are, and who can say the hard thing in a way they will actually take in.
That is the gap this work fills.
How it works
Assembly
Assembly or Keynote
A single session for a year group or the whole school. Frank opens with his own story. Students leave with one thing to act on the next day.
Workshop
Workshop
Smaller and more hands-on. Students work through the ideas, talk honestly in small groups, and each leaves with a step they have written for themselves.
Series
Term Series
A talk a term across the year, mapped to where students are. A relationship, not a one-off.
Staff
Staff INSET Keynote
A session that gives teaching and support staff room to say what is hard about the job, and to come back to why they chose it.
A few of the talks
Every session sits on a simple spine that follows the school year: Set the Tone, Dig In, then What's Next.
Set the Tone
How You Start Matters
Setting the tone for the year with a focus on grit, standards, and ownership.
Dig In
When Motivation Runs Out
Building the habits that keep students going on the days they do not feel like it.
What's Next
The First Rung
Showing leavers how to get a foot on a career ladder that has become harder to reach.
Three of many. The full menu runs from Year 9 to university, for students and for staff, and is in the brochure.
“Frank gives you the tools to reflect, and then action what you need to do to bring the joy back into your day.”
