Reggie Dabbs

Academy welcomes motivational speaker

We were thrilled to welcome back motivational speaker Reggie Dabbs on Thursday 7th October.

Reggie and his family are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of young people. 

Reggie aims to partner with schools worldwide to build a positive learning atmosphere and equip young people in times of pressure and tough choices.

Through telling his challenging life story Reggie’s message is “You can’t change your past, but you can change your future.”

Amy Barlow, Inclusion Manager and Head of Careers said:

“We were pleased to welcome Reggie back all the way from America; he is a popular speaker who helps young people meet their problems head on and overcome them, and motivates them to think about their choices now and how this will affect their futures.”

Reggie was particularly impressed by the spirit of one young student and gifted them with £50.

Miss Barlow adds:

“Year 9 student, Ester Boli, caught Reggie’s eye because he loved her energy in the session; he said he travels the country and she is one of the only British students brave enough to enjoy the moment, stand up and dance in front of her peers! Ester and her parents were delighted to hear Reggie’s positive comments.”
