We’ve been delivering our messages in schools for a while. Being positive doesn’t mean that you deny the fact that some workshops have failed. I remember driving back from the south coast after battling with some 14 and 15 year olds, wondering why I had even bothered to make the journey.

But the vast majority of ‘Art of Being Brilliant’ school sessions have been very well received. I’m really proud of some of the results we’ve achieved and, to be frank, we go where other training companies fear to tread. Not only are school gigs 10 times tougher than corporate work, but budgets are much tighter so we often end up making a loss...

If you know about me and my business, you’ll know my colleagues, Andy Whittaker and Tony Seymour. Great guys. But they often ask me, ‘why on earth are we flogging ourselves to death when there’s much easier money to be made?’

This short vid tells you why. I know you’re busy, but please indulge 6 minutes of your day in exploring the upside of British youth. I’ll leave you with a hand full of questions:

1. What if young people could learn positive habits before they became ingrained in the mood hoover zone?
2. What if we could work with young people and teach them the ‘Art of Being Brilliant’ principles?
3. What if their head teacher empowered them to write their own happiness & positivity curriculum that they would then teach throughout the school?
4. What if the teens wanted to organise and run the world’s first positive psychology conference for their peers?
5. What if all this was allowed to happen?
6. How powerful would it be if this kind of thing became embedded in schools across the land?
