Being neurodivergent, Seamus has first-hand experience on building mental strength from a young age. He has a range of methods to get your students activated and considering ways they can overcome Adversity, build Resilience and gain Confidence.
Living with non-swearing Tourette Syndrome and ADHD caused Seamus difficulties at school. He didn’t perform as well as expected and he was well on the path to failing.
With few options ahead of him, Seamus turned a corner and decided to never let ‘setbacks’ stand in the way of his dreams. He went on to become a breakfast radio personality and sort-after TV show presenter with amazing career highlights.
Be inspired to conquer the world as Seamus share his triumphant journey overcoming the challenges associated with Tourette Syndrome to work on TV and pursue a career in the public eye.
A workshop designed to build student skills in Attitude, Resilience and Confidence. Grounded in research, powerful story-telling and group activities, the session is broken into three engaging modules.
Seamus will share his techniques to turn those nerves into excitable energy and help you conquer the stage, boardroom, executives office and shine bright like a diamond.
How do you work with someone who is neurodiverse? Seamus is here to help guide you on the correct way to work with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD and other neurological conditions for a more inclusive society.
Share the outcome you’re looking for and let Seamus present you with ideas for talks or workshops for your students.
On the day, Seamus will run the presentation or workshop. You just sit back and join in. There will also be time to answer questions.
On the day...
What an amazing human! The gift he has given my son is invaluable. Seamus went above and beyond, gave such an inspirational talk and spent time talking with my son about his journey with Tourette’s. His talk was so well received that I had many “Thankyous” from the children afterwards and multiple messages from parents that evening saying their children came home talking about Seamus and the points he discussed. Thank you Seamus, my son has a new hero!

I have no doubt that many students walked away feeling buoyed by Seamus' words and inspired to make their perceived flaws or weaknesses, their very own "superpower".

Seamus' passion and energy was amazing. He engaged well with the students, many of whom later spoke about feeling a real connection with his story and experiences. His gentle yet powerful approach to addressing the challenges we all will face was something the students could walk away with feeling empowered. He's a great speaker and one we truly want to have come back!

Seamus champions the importance of making all in our community aware of neurodiversity. He delivers his personal story that embraces the need for inclusion, acceptance and support for all members of our school community. Seamus delivers this through his own lens that navigates his journey of triumph, despair and struggle – a truly inspiring and motivating session that has allowed our school further conversation in this space.

Seamus not only created a safe space to talk about these challenges and normalised ‘flaws’, but used humour to extend this conversation into being proud of difference. The University of Newcastle looks forward to having you back
