Keith has had many life learning journeys, not just to living in other countries and learning other languages, but to re-evaluating what is good for him.

Taking on new challenges later in life Keith joined ELFM about 16 months ago, he has developed as a broadcaster, writer, and poet. It is never too late to try something new.

During college, I remember the overwhelming anxiety the day before classes began.

At times the anxiety was so bad I was unable to make it out of bed.

I’ll be honest, mental well-being was never a priority.

Skateboarding, making music, having fun with friends, those are the things that took precedence. Anxiety hit me often and I would go through bouts of depression. I hid my state of mind thinking that it made me look weak.

It was only when I gained proper support did I find the tools and tactics to reach a better state of mind.

A little bit about myself….

I’ve been in sales for the last 6 years and I deal with rejection every day.

But it has made me mentally resilient.

My job title does not define who I am.

I’m more than just a salesperson.

I am an advocate for mental health.

This is important to me because I can relate to the struggles that come with having a mental illness.

I’m passionate about helping college students get the support they need.

I don’t want them to repeat what I’ve gone through when I was in college.

What if I had better support during college?

Let’s not play the what if game here.

Si, like most people in a service environment, paid a high personal price, burnout and pain. Leaving it behind and finding a new horizon took time, persistence and energy. He shares this journey and the lessons he learnt along the way.

John Burns worked as a chartered management accountant in industry for over 25 years. After being made compulsorily redundant, John decided to follow his dream by setting up his own business. Today, John is a paid professional speaker and career coach.

In his quest to find happiness, Martin looked in all the wrong places, and his life soon spiralled into a whirlpool of alcohol, marijuana, and severe mental illness. This led to a total breakdown, which saw him having to rebuild his life from scratch at 21.

In spite of further setbacks, he bounced back, spent a few years back in education, including some time at the University of Leeds studying psychology, and eventually settled into a career in sales.

Over the next 20 years, he appeared to progress in life—house, car, children, etc—but continued to feel unfulfilled, dissatisfied with life, and unhappy.

A penny dropped for Martin around the age of 40, when he realised he had been carrying deep-seated memories from his childhood, and these voices from the past had been limiting his potential. He immediately threw himself into a process of mental reprogramming, and his life changed almost beyond recognition.

Over the last decade, he has gone from being an over-the-hill advertising executive to a ghostwriter and editor for entrepreneurs, speakers and others with inspirational stories to tell. Previous clients have included a Times bestselling author and the founder of an international brand.

He has also drawn on his own knowledge of mindfulness, meditation and mental programming to develope and deliver innovative mindfulness-based programs for children and adults.

Martin’s slogan is “Express Your Truth with Clarity”, and he has a passion for creativity. He has written and produced plays for radio, and his autobiography, Killing Dad, will be published this year.

Carol Anne’s journey from Maths teacher to becoming The Writing Facilitator has found her discovering tools and techniques that have assisted her in unlocking the writer within. Along the way she has helped people to connect with their own inner writer, find confidence and belief in their ability to write, unlocked their innate potential to write and get their manuscript written.

In 2019 she became an award winning author for two of seven pieces of writing included in the three Community Book Projects – Pawsome Friends, Independence and Vision 20/20. She has featured in podcasts and on The Listening Detective TV, and talks about unlocking the writer within, resilience – bounce back ability, creating a future beyond lockdown, how everyone has the ability to write a book, and that everyone has a story inside them that would make a difference in the world.

Carol Anne is passionate about sharing these tools and techniques to empower clients in becoming more productive with their writing – thus creating momentum in their business, and finally complete the book they always wanted, by unlocking the writer within to depths previously not experienced.
