School Speaking

What an inspiration Lee is, best thing that has happened at this school for a long time

I wanted to say a massive thank you for coming into talk with year 9 students this morning, what a powerful message you share with the pupils. I have spoken with several from the year group already who found it incredibly inspiring, with the overarching message that if they dream and work hard they can achieve anything in life.

Lee spoke to groups of 450 pupils at a time and we were able to follow up with smaller groups afterwards that Lee met with and we used his life journey to motivate and inspire them to dream bigger. Ivybridge Community College is part of the West Academy trust. We are a large comprehensive School in Devon that has World Class Schools status, we strive to make a difference to all the students in our care and bringing in outstanding speakers like Lee to motivate our young people we feel really makes a huge difference and helps them stretch their limits and dream big. “We are an outstanding school and believe in bringing in outstanding speakers to challenge our students to change their perception of their limits. A good example of this was in the words Lee shared with our year groups “if you feel you have achieved your dreams you need to dream bigger”. We cannot recommend Lee highly enough.

Lee is an outstanding speaker, who captivates and motivates his audience to think bigger. After a a long career in teaching I have listened to many speakers over the years and never before have I heard one with power and impact to my students. From listening to Lee’s talk, students were able to use his journey, to map his progress and were even inspired to raise funds for the Rowing Marine Charity through cake sales. These were ordinary students who now believe they can do extraordinary things. Lee really is a world class speaker

Lee was an inspiration to me, his talk about his life and struggles really made a difference to my mind-set. It made me want to do stuff I didn’t think I could do, I would recommend Lee to anyone having a tough time because if he can cross the ocean anyone can do anything
