We now have a new Enterprise Showcase Blog. This Blog will act as a vehicle for pupils to share the Enterprising work they are doing to develop their skills for Life, Learning and Work.
If you would like your school to feature on the showcase, please email Lynn Taylor on First Class.
The Blog currently sits in Glow, so you’ll need your Glow login to access the site. www.bit.ly/pupilenterprise

About Jack Black
“The greatest gift in life is the ability to think great thoughts and have the strength to take action so that those thoughts become reality in this wonderful and abundant world.” Jack Black
In the 1980s, Jack Black was a social worker in the underprivileged East End of Glasgow. After seeing two colleagues destroy their health through the stress of work whilst only in their 40s, and then experiencing a similar collapse himself, he decided to discover how stress could be managed and personal development harnessed to allow people to fulfil their potential. MindStore was the culmination of his findings and now, Jack is recognised as one of the UK’s leading authorities on personal development and peak performance for corporate training he is also an internationally renowned keynote speaker.
Jack’s motivating presentation style moves his audience to make massive changes in their way of thinking, whilst it is inspiring and entertaining. His contribution to performance improvement throughout the world has created a reputation that is second to none. Jack has taught the “MindStore” programmes to business leaders and top entrepreneurs. Over half of the FTSE 100 leading companies are clients of his corporate training programmes. World champions and teams from sport, entertainers and endless leaders and work forces from blue chip companies around the world have all benefited from his teachings.
A founder member of the Entrepreneurial Exchange and previously nominated by the Scotsman newspaper as “one of the top individuals to shape our nation,” Jack has appeared on numerous television and radio programmes. He is regularly featured in magazines and national newspapers. Jack continues to work with international leaders in the field of performance coaching, creating leading edge approaches to organisational and personal development. Jack continues to be busy presenting on the international conference circuit.
