Michelle, an Author, Speaker, Coach and Life-Changer, is the Founder and Director of Reactiv8. She has worked in education for approximately 16 years working at all levels, including senior management, with a background in Physical Education. In 2006, she became one of Bedfordshire’s youngest Assistant Head teachers at a local Bedford Borough Upper School managing Student Support Services with overall responsibility for Behaviour and Attendance. Through her experience of seeing young people being excluded from the education system, coupled with young people still in education who have no aspiration, self-belief, direction, or goals in life, Reactiv8 was born. Reactiv8 provides young people with an opportunity to get switched back on to learning, education and training, giving young people a chance to fulfil their true potential and become a valued member of society. Not only does Reactiv8 work with young people of school age, we also deliver programmes for everybody, with no upper age limit.

This is the most invigorating, energising, and motivating course I have been on, not to mention the most dynamic organisation I’ve had the pleasure of working in.

Life Skills definitely makes a difference, it equips pupils with the tools needed to cope with everyday life and the confidence to use them. I would recommend this programme without reservation.”
