Thank you, each and every single one of you, who were part of #SavvyTeenAcademy in Cork last week. It was a true pleasure to work with such an open-minded, enthusiastic, kind group of young people who were such great company. You all have your own versions of what success looks like and we hope that you all truly reach for the stars!

Here is our Cork #SavvyTeenAcademy group with Sinead Kane who shared her story of completing 7 Marathons on 7 Continents in 7 Days with 5% vision. She is now a qualified solicitor, Brand Ambassador for Allianz Ireland, finishing a phD, speaking on a variety of platforms and lots more besides. She offered many life lessons including "look with your mindset, not with your eyesight", " learn about the street that you don't live on" and "when you learn more, you earn more". A truly fascinating woman with such a rounded plethora of achievements with so much more to come!

Many of our Savvy Teens tell us about how stressful they find exams, unfamiliar social situations and other challenging times along the way. During #SavvyTeenAcademy, we bring the best of thought leadership to our attendees (like this piece by Ian Robertson about how to "confuse" your brain between anxiety and excitement as a proactive strategy) as well as our own personal experience. Have a read through this and see if you inadvertently use any or all of these techniques... http://ianrobertson.org/times-interview-ian-stress-test/

Calling our Savvy Teens from 2015! Remember Niamh Gallagher from Women for Election who was a guest speaker? She and her team set a massive crowd funding goal and last night, they achieved it with Trojan effort, momentous Twitter activity and the buy-in of a whole spectrum of views. These are the type of inspirational speakers that you meet at #SavvyTeenAcademy!
