The Parents & Friends Edmond Otis Resilience presentation attracted over 200 of our boys and parents on Tuesday Night. The presentation from Edmond was very well received as it was interactive and relevant to all age groups.

“We were delighted to host Edmond, who came up with some great insights into what makes a resilient person. Those who were there will be checking their “GPS connections” more often… as Edmond says, ‘it’s not about how we feel, it’s about what we do next’. We know it’s hard to get out on a winter’s night, but the opportunity to get messages directly from someone with an international reputation is huge. Sharing these messages for the benefit of our boys and their families is one of the roles of Parents & Friends. Any suggestions for future speakers are warmly welcomed. Thank you to the kitchen for the yummy cookies and setting out the tea and coffee and to Campbell Howlett for hosting us on the night" - Kate Taylor, Event Organiser

Edmond has donated his speaking fee to Women’s Refuge, an organisation that means a lot to the Lindisfarne community. Thank you to Parents & Friends for organising this fabulous presentation for our community and we look forward to more guest speaker nights in the future!
