Claire will touch on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and how to use motivation to help drive performance at school.
Claire will explore the importance of positive self-talk and the power of choice with regards to our thoughts. She will explore the difference between a growth and fixed mindset, and the importance of spending time in your stretch ‘learning’ zone.

This workshop blends techniques for boosting concentration with strategies to foster a positive, growth-oriented mindset that drives sustained high performance.
This talk will help students to develop greater self-assurance, improve their self-esteem, and overcome self-doubt. It will focus on building mental resilience, fostering positive self-talk, and providing tools to tackle personal and professional challenges with a confident mindset.
Knowing Claire from Durham University Fencing and her successes with Team GB, I invited her and her colleague to give resilience-training for tutors and students at the National Tutors Conference 2019. Claire’s story especially in elite sport and the life lessons she learnt were and are very inspiring. She left me and fellow tutors feeling motivated, more self-aware and confident to spur on our students to be the very best that they can be.
The most memorable moment of the day was at the disability archery presentation when one your participant said they had never had a medal, never thought they would win a medal or hold one and that receiving it form Claire Bennett made it even better.
