Lee Jackson Motivational Speaker inspires exam students Northern Echo newspaper

“STUDENTS have been inspired by a motivational speaker Lee Jackson to look to their future in the run up to impending exams…

Lee Jackson Motivational speaker in the northern echo

Being from the North East originally its nice to get a bit of press in one of North Easts newspapers – thanks to Wensleydale School and the Northern Echo 🙂

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14521379.Exam_students_are_inspired_by_motivational_speaker

“STUDENTS have been inspired by a motivational speaker to look to their future in the run up to impending exams.

Motivational speaker and self-help author Lee Jackson addressed Year 11 and Year 13 students at the Wensleydale School and Sixth Form as they prepare to sit GCSEs and A Levels.

Billingham-born and now based in Leeds, Mr Jackson will become president of the Professional Speaking Association in the UK and Ireland in October.

An award winning teenage DJ and a youth worker, he has been speaking to audiences of all sizes for the past eight years as a motivational speaker in business and education.

He told students: “You are experts in education. The fact you are still here means you have the ability to do it. Up to this point you have taken many exams so you know you can do them.”

“Ding is the noise your brain hears when you learn something new,” he said. “But learning only ever takes place when you put it into practice.

“Every second counts and there is not enough time in the day to study and spend five hours on-line and on social media.

“Write down your ideas or you will forget them and it is the little steps that make a difference. Behave well in lessons and encourage you friends. Keep going as you are approaching the final hurdle.” ”

How to pass exams – Part 16 – Serve

March 13, 2015 By Lee

How to pass exams – Part 16 – Serving your fellow adventurers

how to pass exams lee jackson speaker serve

“If there is one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view, and see things from that person’s angle, as well as from your own.”
Henry Ford (the first person to make mass produced cars)

Gordon Brown was one of the most ridiculed and hated Prime Ministers of recent times, the media were always having a go at him saying crazy things like “He’s Scottish, he’s got a wrinkly face…and he can’t even smile properly!’ Poor man. Whichever way you may want to vote no-one can help what their face looks like! He was trying to steer us through the worst financial crisis since the Second World War but everyone seemed to hate him. It was a tough ride for him, but when Gordon Brown eventually resigned as the Prime Minister, he said ‘It was a privilege to SERVE as the Prime Minister of the UK’.

A privilege to serve? Eh?!

He didn’t have a go at anyone he just said, “It was a privilege to serve”.

I was amazed.

When Richard St. John did his research into ‘successful’ people, he found out that they all served others in some way.

What?

Aren’t successful people only out for themselves?

Serve wasn’t really a word I expected to see in his list, and to be honest it’s kind of unfashionable these days. Rarely mentioned, never mind promoted. Serve? What did they mean?

[ Based on years of research you can read more about Lee’s work at http://leejackson.org/education/howtoenjoyandsucceedatschoolandcollege – How to pass exams ]  

In order to be a successful human being we have to serve others in some way. I charge for what I do, that’s business, but I also give free advice too, because when you give something away I believe it is returned to you.

I speak at schools and businesses now, where in the past I helped them for free.

“What goes around comes around.”

“What you sow you reap.”

Imagine your favourite shop where the people serving you were only focused on themselves and not on you as a customer. What a horrible shop that would be. Rude and aloof staff; no returns or even help – maybe we’d buy something once from them, but we’d probably not go back there.

‘..I asked Ben Cohen (the co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream) what led to his success and he said “ I think I’m good at being able to put myself in the shoes of my consumer (i.e an ice cream eater!)’
(Ben comes up with all their new flavours)

Extract from “8 Traits Successful People Have In Common: 8 to be great” by Richard St. John 2010 ISBN 9780973900972

“put myself in their shoes…” sounds like serving to me.

When people are messing about in lessons and giving the teacher hassle, what would happen if they put themselves in the teacher’s shoes?

How would that make them feel?

Where do you serve?

Have a think.

More to come…
