About Us
About Live-N-Learn LtdLive-N-Learn started up in 2006, aiming to build confidence in young people. We offer inspirational workshops for young people aged between 5 and 18, with accompanying staff development sessions and parental seminars. The majority of our courses work directly with the students, supporting vital areas, such as Study Skills, Options, Enterprise, Health, Transition and Inductions. Ultimately, we build confidence and raise aspirations, but also encourage students to take personal responsibilty, adopt a growth mindset and develop their resilience. Having designed and delivered programmes for every local authority in Scotland, word has now spread to hundreds of schools throughout the UK, where we have recently opened our new regional office in Surrey. Our workshops are customised to each school's specific objectives and challenges. Every school is unique, therefore our delivery compliments the good work already taking place.

"I felt there was a need for motivational workshops that were grittier and more practical. Making students laugh and feel great about themselves for a couple of hours was not enough. Resilience and sustainability has to be part of the package. I am proud that we manage to deliver all of these elements". Having not made it as a rock star (yet!), he is keen on playing the guitar and harangues his own children to do likewise. Alan has a great sense of humour, best demonstrated through his ownership of a season ticket with Partick Thistle FC. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

“Gradually, more and more schools are realising where we are coming from and how our different approach has more impact on the young people in their school than the approach of our competitors.”
