Action Your Potential

The solution

Human brains have the unique ability to understand themselves.
It's called metacognition, living in our brain with awareness.
Metacognitive humans are better humans.
‍
We are a brain and body generating a mind, not a mind bossing around a brain and a body.
A #NeuroNinja knows this and lives inside their brain with insight. At AYP we use the latest neuroscience and psychology to give people the gift of themselves.

We all have one precious life, #NeuroNinjas know we have everything we need at the top of our neck. We are living in the most powerful processing system in the known universe and yet billions of people live and die without achieving their full potential. #NeuroNinjas build great well-being, manage their minds, unleash learning and productivity and build positive relationships and behaviour every day.

Let us help you, your team or family change their brain, change their mind & change their world.‍

You will never see yourself in the same way again. We do this through:
‍

Coaching in groups or 1:1
Workshops
Webinars
Videos Course on our #NeuroNinja Learning Hub
Our Be A #NeuroNinja app

'Action Your Potential has been one of the most impactful and outstanding inventions we have ever used in our school and Trust'

AYP's innovative approach in unlocking the potential of young minds has had a transformative impact on our students and staff and their well-being across our trust.

The resources and strategies provided by Action Your Potential have empowered our learners to take charge of their personal growth and resilience, while also supporting our staff and other stakeholders in fostering a positive, thriving educational environment. It is a real privilege to collaborate with Andrew and his team of experienced individuals who are so dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of young people and their communities.

'Action Your Potential is a very rare thing:
it is something new in education'

For a long time, there has been an awareness that neuroscience has begun to unlock how we learn, but no-one has been able to turn the theory into something practical that students can be taught. AYP does that.

After every session students have a strategy that puts them in control of their learning. The explanations that AYP provide also give parents a valuable gift - an understanding of what is going on in their teenager's brain!

The support offered by the Action Your Potential team to our children and families has, in many instances, been the key to re-engagement, positive mental health and better self-esteem. In understanding and unleashing the powers of their own brain, children have made everyday improvements that they did not think themselves capable.

Thank you to the AYP team for the difference that you have made to our young people.

Action Your Potential has made a difference to the lives of Chailey students in so many ways from supporting the well-being of our vulnerable learners to helping families to navigate through exams.

During exam periods you can see the impact of AYP study skills - every student is clutching a pack of flash cards!

Ruth Turner
Assistant Headteacher, Chailey School

AYP are our secret weapon in boosting progress 8 scores. We have seen students with 2/3’s as average predictions reliably achieve 5/6’s after coaching support. This is the most impactful intervention we have ever deployed.

Headteacher

The AYP team of coaches are brilliant. They have supported some of our most vulnerable learners during the last year with so many stories of success, including a non attending student now back in school full time.
‍
Some of our most anxious high-flying girls have gone from panic attacks and refusal to enter exams, to 100 attendance at every exam and no panic attacks. Amazing! Can’t recommend AYP highly enough.

Assistant Headteacher

Every student in an AYP pod said it had made a massive difference. It covered everything; how to prepare in terms of revision and practice, how to manage worries and build daily well-being behaviours.

What we noticed most was the massive confidence boost the AYP coaches gave our students. This made all the difference to progress for some of our most vulnerable learners.

Deputy Head in charge of progress (Year 11)

The resources and webinars on the hub have changed the conversation with parents and carers about resilience. We have many families following the courses. An AYP coach has even come down to the school for a few mornings to meet families to help them on their change journey.

Headteacher, Primary School

My Daughter has developed positive habits including weekly plans and study captures which encourage her to reflect on learning during the day and to schedule learning outside of school alongside exercise to achieve well-being. A huge change.

Parent of Year 11 Student

My son is feeling so supported by his coach, the sessions have frequently been the highlight of his often challenging times at school. They definitely seem to be gradually helping him manage his anxiety/ school phobia in a more productive and healthy way.

Parent of Year 8 Student

My coach takes the time to explain how the brain works and how and why things work as they do. I feel very strongly that I have built a good relationship with her and could definitely benefit greatly from more sessions.

Year 10 Student receiving 1:1 Coaching

Your work has helped my children's issues with social anxiety, and with OCD. It has also helped me.. I was diagnosed as bipolar 20 years ago

Parent of Year 7 Student

I trialled my new routine yesterday and had such a productive day!

Head of HR at a global company

This has made such a difference.

I have moved from being tearful and feeling overwhelmed, to feeling on top of things. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Managing Director of Financial Services Company

I have been listening to Andrew’s recent sessions on the anxious brain which was amazing, so inspiring and thought provoking.

Teacher

Thank you so much for your talk, I was absolutely enthralled! Absolute gold dust information.

Every colleague should hear your presentations.

Assistant Headteacher -Lincolnshire

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all your time, effort and tools you provided my son with.

With your support I felt I was not on my own and that he was in very good and professional hands.

Parent of Year 11 Student

Because of that mindmap in chemistry we made, I got 5 more marks on my chemistry test because I remembered the components of a nucleus and their relative masses and charges.

It really helped me connect the ideas, I could literally see the links in my mind.

Year 10 Student

I am really enjoying the sessions, it really helps me remember more of my day-to-day learning and in class when we were discussing our latest book, I was able to give some really good answers that impressed my teacher.
