Learn more about Nick Dux
My name is Nick Dux. I am strong, I am committed, I am consistent, I am proactive and I am giving. A few years ago, writing those words about myself would have been followed by an uncomfortable wince!
For periods of time, I lived in a small comfort zone for fear of the panic and anxiety attacks that frequented my days. Perhaps it is not a surprise that I have chosen to work in children’s Mental Health for 21 years.
Through study, self-development and reconditioning, I been able to progress to a point I never would have thought possible.
Anything is possible when you change the story you tell yourself
Self-improvement is now a daily discipline in my life and has made a huge impact on me both personally and professionally.
Many of the tools I have used to transform my life are prevalent in building Resilience with the individuals and teams that I work with.
I have a degree in Human Communication and a total of twenty-one years’ experience in mental health within education.
Thankfully, my experiences, career, learning, studies and extensive self-improvement work, have enabled me to develop powerful strategies that transcend education and can empower Resilience in individuals and teams.
For seven years I have been self-employed, working in different schools to build Resilience as a whole school approach. There are many aspects that make up this approach, including:
- Leading education professionals in developing ‘Transformative Communication’ – an approach that builds a strong Resilience in themselves and the children they work with
- Building staff Resilience, supporting professionals to recognise the tools they have to overcome the most challenging of situations and remove barriers to maximising their potential
- 1-to-1 coaching with parents and young people
Success comes when you refuse to give up, with goals so strong that obstacles only act as motivation
