Workshop
Building Resilience, Mindset, and Action for Success

In this dynamic and inspiring workshop, Shaun takes students on a journey through his experiences as a paratrooper in the British Army and how those lessons can be applied in others lives. This workshop is designed to help students develop the resilience, mindset, and focus needed to succeed in any area they choose, whether it be academics, sports, or personal goals.
Shaun shares firsthand stories of overcoming fear, facing extreme challenges, and the mental and physical endurance required to pass the Parachute Regiment’s rigorous training. These stories aren’t just about the military—they are about seizing opportunities and learning how to apply the same determination and mindset to everyday life.
Key Learning Outcomes:

• Building a Committed Mindset: Students will explore what it means to fully commit to a task or goal, pushing through discomfort and fear to take decisive action. They will learn the importance of breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps and celebrating small victories along the way.
• Overcoming Challenges and Taking Action: Drawing from his military experience, Shaun will demonstrate how taking that first step—whether it’s tackling an exam, trying out for a team, or pursuing a passion—is critical to success. He teaches students how to face “red light moments” of hesitation and fear with courage, and make the leap toward their goals when the “green light” appears.
• The Power of Support and Community: Shaun emphasises the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people—those who inspire, challenge, and support. Through real-life examples, he illustrates how camaraderie and community are key to overcoming obstacles and achieving success.
• Resilience and Mental Toughness: Shaun will guide students on how to cultivate resilience and bounce back from setbacks, whether in school or in life. By building mental toughness, they can approach challenges with a sense of purpose and confidence.

Throughout the session, students will engage in interactive activities that encourage self-reflection and group discussion. They will be encouraged to think about their own “red light moments,” reflect on their personal challenges, and identify the supportive communities they can rely on as they pursue their future goals.

By the end of the workshop, students will walk away with practical tools for developing a strong mindset, actionable steps for taking control of their future, and the confidence to face their own challenges head-on.
