Amey: Are you a Lion, Dolphin, Elephant, or Parrot? Personality and Communications workshop

Performance coach Nigel Risner suggests that people can be divided into 4 groups based on their preferred communication style – Lions, Parrots, Dolphins and Elephants.

Participants will be asked to complete a short quiz so they can find out which animal they are, to discover their dominant personality and communication traits. With the new knowledge, they can start communicating more effectively. The workshop will also include a short activity to demonstrate the communication styles of each of the 4 animals/personality types.

Loud Speaker: Personal Storytelling

Research has shown that young people are feeling more and more anxious about finding opportunities in this post-COVID world. We equip young people with the self-belief needed to back themselves when setting career aspirations, and setting goals in their personal lives. We also believe the most powerful tool we all have when navigating the world is our personal story – so we give young people a framework to be able to know and understand their own stories, and the skills needed to shout it from the rooftops!

British Airways: Securing Work Experience (Cardiff)

Best thing my kids have done at secondary school – they got so much out of it in so many ways.
