Story
I was once honoured to provide a Seven Habits for Highly Effective Teenagers Course at my old comprehensive school, and fervently wished I had been given such input when I was that age. 'My' students went on to achieve their aims, and I'd like more kids to be able to do that in the future. I will myself be donating funds from book sales and training course income,.

4 months agoDear Friends, With reference to my objective to fund books for delivery to an entire year of school pupils, I have had a setback. Much to my surprise, the school to which I offered the books has declined the gift. I have approached my good friend, Rob Parsons OBE, a charity CEO. On my behalf he is identifying and approaching youth support bodies close to him, who he believes would find good homes for any books we can provide. I have invited my donors to have their donations refunded. None have asked for their money back. (Thank you)

I'm a retired detective, and in my spare time I taught personal development in-house to colleagues. In 2012 I funded and facilitated a 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Course at my old school. The students seemed to benefit, but now I'd like an entire year to read the book!
