“Darren Edwards talk was a masterclass in motivation, in teaching about resilience, and in seeing a pathway through the worst of situations. Darren spoke to our pupils for just short of an hour they sat in rapt attention; you genuinely could have heard a pin drop throughout. This is partly because Darren’s story is such a captivating one, but it’s predominantly due to Darren’s method of delivery; his engaging nature, his candid and honest approach, and his ability to speak to teenagers without a hint of condescension.
Of all the speakers that we’ve had at school, I think Darren’s will be one that resonates with the pupils for the longest – Darren’s talk focused on the strength of a positive attitude and having perspective, a viewpoint that could be applied to any challenging scenario facing pupils. It was relatable, emotive and inspiring and I have no doubt that Darren will be back at school soon to tell us all about the next immense challenge over which he is victorious. Thank you, Darren!”
