Developing the Exam Mindset
If you know my story you’ll have heard I’ve spent the last 12 years working as Exam officer at an HMP Establishment and delivering exam standards training to UK schools in the East of England.
So I know a bit about stress and how it stops us showing our best selves. I’ve seen people hiding from life, showing all kinds of emotions, and unable to believe in their ability to shine.
- Perhaps no one believed in them
- Maybe they never learnt how to think well
- Or they were never shown how great they could be
You may know how that feels.
After years of working with those with low self-esteem, I’m here to tell you, you were born with immense ability. It’s a fact. We just need to know how to be our best selves when fear and worry look like defeating us.
You CAN look your exam worry in the eye and win. You will learn how to handle your feelings and come out on top. You just need to allow yourself to face what troubles you and see it for what it really is.
Most of us give little attention to how we think. Our emotions are just “who we are”. We stuff things down, we hope that one day we’ll wake up to a different, more confident us. And slapping a “positive thinking “ plaster on our problem is next to useless, unless we learn to think well.
How do I know this? Because I’ve now delivered this programme in schools and my Meditation recordings are now reaching potentially up to 25,000 prisoners a day.
Is it likely that the Progamme Leaders who organised these events were wrong to place their trust in Mindfulness? They chose it because it works on so many levels for those hurting from fear, immobile from worry, helpless to move forward and stuck in their own spiral of feelings.
I’ve delivered Stress Busting workshops at Conferences and I can see that Mindfulness has come of age. It’s hit its time.
So for all these reasons, I have no worries here that Developing The Exam Mindset can help you get to grips with the anxiety that stops you from being the shining star you certainly can be.
Covering many standard Mindfulness techniques it looks at developing new thinking skills to tackle the fear that rises up at stressful times. The techniques I share with you are all standard Wellbeing practices. You'll be following the best current ideas to tackle your worries 'head on'.
You’ll learn how to think well and how to recognise the moments that might dis-rail you. And once you do, I’ll show you some breathing exercises to calm things down and shake tension away.
Together, we’ll look at the process of bringing Mindfulness ideas into your everyday life.
The beauty with studying online is that you get to choose the pace and follow in your own time. Practice is the key to overcoming anxiety.
The course includes a number of ways to re-think fear and let it go, with releasing exercises, visualisations, affirmations and a deep look at Meditation.
And because I'm keen to explain things well, you get step by step how to details with a selection of scripts and support materials to get a handle on your fears. There's a ton of worksheets built into each process, and it's not too shabby on the eye either - thanks to my new BF Canva.
So whether you're looking for a a Mindful way of tackling your own exam fear, you're a Teacher seeking a way to help your students, or perhaps a parent wanting to offer support to your young person as they head towards a difficult part of the year, then this is for you.

"2 of our most anxious young people, said they really enjoyed it. In fact one boy told me he had tried it at home that night. Two of the teachers who were at the sessions are now looking at ways of incorporating short sessions at the beginning of the school day for Year 11 students."
