A multiple award-winning international entrepreneur, conference speaker, author and life coach has visited students at Harrow College to speak about how to become a student of distinction.
Young learners from the college listened intently to Onyi Anyado who delivered an inspiring and motivational session focussing on positive achievement. Using personal life experiences, Onyi discussed overcoming negative influences of gang membership, going to prison and homelessness. He went on to discuss the strategies he used to turn his life around and achieve so many career aspirations. The talk covered topics including having a vision, time management, setting goals and employability skills.
The talk was interactive, dynamic and thought provoking. Students shared their thoughts and discussed some of the key points addressed by Onyi. This was followed by a lively question and answer session.
The event closed with students reflecting on the characteristics, habits and skills needed to be a student of distinction and the barriers they may face. Students expressed ideas about how they will use what they have learnt from the session to move forward.
The visit of Onyi Anyado was organised by the John Lyon Counselling & Mentoring Project at Harrow College who organise monthly workshops to inspire and motivate students. Rose Squire, Counselling and Mentoring Project manager at Harrow College said:
“We are delighted that Onyi visited our students. Onyi is a renowned speaker and he shared many experiences which our students can relate too. We will now follow up on today’s event by offering our students one-to-one mentoring sessions to support them with their course”.
