A 75 minute, face to face workshop delivered by me in person in your classroom where we take a deep dive into resilience.

Pupils gain an understanding of their stretch point and how to build a resilience team around them.

What Teachers Are Saying
“The Stretch interactive workshop, delivered by Richard, provides a unique opportunity for pupils to expand their thinking around developing a resilient attitude and positive approach to change, and the unexpected challenges and setbacks which life may bring, as they are encouraged to be thankful, think optimistically and never give up when learning something new.”
— D Davidson Acting Vice Principal Anahilt PS
“The ‘stretching point’ visual gave the children a greater understanding of challenges and how to deal with them, but the most effective thing in the programme I felt, as an adult was to never give up. The Power of Yet!"
— P7 Teacher
“In day to day teaching something as important as what was covered often gets pushed to the side with the demands of the curriculum.”
— P 6/7 Teacher
“As a Primary 6/7 teacher, I felt that the 'Stretch' workshop had signifcant benefits for my pupils. In light of the great changes which these pupils will inevitably face over the coming months, I think it is very important to outline how to tackle the unknown. This workshop provided opportunities for reflection and highlighted the importance of adopting a growth mindset in all aspects of life; something which is particularly relevant following the difficulties presented as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. All-in-all, the 'Stretch' workshop really does what it says on the tin; stretching pupils' minds, helping children recognise their 'stretch point' and providing coping strategies for life's various ups and downs. Many thanks to Richard for addressing this important topic with my pupils.”
