"The feedback from delegates has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting how Viv’s message has been their main conference takeaway from the event. They loved Viv’s deep reflections and optimism. Viv’s presence not only enriched our event but also contributed to making it a truly memorable celebration of leadership. Viv’s contribution has played a vital role in inspiring our attendees to lead with courage and purpose."

James Brown
Managing Director – Inspiring Leaders

"Viv spoke to our gathered audience of students, staff, parents and carers and filled the space with warmth, wisdom and courage. It was evident that she really meant what she said: encouragement about how life is difficult sometimes, about seeing and serving the world with courage, about taking opportunities to learn and grow, most of all through adversity. It was clear that Viv's words were grounded in reality and experience. We are humbled and inspired by her visit."

Headteacher, The St Marylebone CE School

"Loved the way she took our answers and then framed them into coached responses. It is always good to hear other colleagues’ experiences. The challenges of headship can be tough and you can sometimes feel like you are the only one experiencing these difficulties within your own school."

"Viv structured and facilitated the session well to get people talking and sharing ideas which we will take forward in future work."

"The session made me reflect on my working style and why I respond to situations the way I do. It made me realise that some aspects of my working style/personality are strengths and there's nothing actually wrong with me, but maybe I need to behave a bit differently in certain situations."

Viv's Educational journey is extraordinary and one which inspires. It's a true testament that as educators we are powerful in shaping young peoples lives. One of my many takeaways is that Rejection is often Re-direction. Thank you

Viv thank you for your challenging yet hope-filled presentation on race. As a black woman, I am a late career entry secondary school science teacher. Your story echoes into mine; I identify very much with what you went through although I spent most of my career in the science industry. I hope that with the rising unrest around asylum seekers and immigrants, your voice and message is magnified through teachers who are passionate enough to work hard to make all students feel wanted and thus encouraged to learn well.
