Rohan kindly agreed to support the Yorkshire & Humber CTYA Cancer Clinical Network Education Event

wow what a session.... His energy captivated the audience, the delivery of his personal cancer experience, intertwined with methods to improve resilience, was inspiring, thought provoking and helpful in acknowledging the importance of prioritising self care for staff and ways that may help boost their well-being.

It was a privilege to be part of this motivational session

Julie White- Lead Nurse for C&T Cancer at NHS

Rohan was amazing, the feedback we received from 80+ school leaders in attendance was excellent. He is hands down one of the best speakers we have ever had. Thank you so much for sharing both your time and journey with us all.

Andrea Raven-Hill- Executive Regional Manager at Reed

We booked Rohan to speak at our conference for 100 senior leaders within education across Yorkshire. This is an event we run every year and feedback from the attendees was exceptional for Rohan. He is engaging and light hearted whilst speaking around difficult topics.. The techniques for dealing with tough situations gave people tangible things to take away with them, and we have already had requests for him to come back next year. I couldn’t recommend Rohan highly enough.

Richard Marshall - Senior Business Manager at Reed

Rohan is a very warm, inspirational & engaging speaker who shared his own life experiences that have helped him overcome significant adversity in his life. He connected with the whole staff group easily and involved everyone to participate, comfortably and at a level they felt safe to, in the twilight session.

Rohan unpicked some hard-hitting issues that many people face but sharing the strategies he found to be most beneficial helped us all see that we can adopt the same resilience and our very own mindset shapes, if we allow it, to prevent or paralyse us, so we become locked into the event/incident rather than showing resilience to move on, and live the life we want, authentically and fulfilled.

The workshop after Rohan's presentation involved different scenarios and we could think of situations relevant to our workplace, collectively able to apply Rohan's solution finding methods to arm ourselves with ways to overcome the challenges we face.

The 2 hour twilight was after a full day and in the middle of a busy week but we all felt it went quickly and that it strengthened us in our different roles both at work and at home. A worthwhile way to spend 2 hours and really support personal and professional wellbeing!

Fiona Parker - Head Teacher at St Williams Primary

Rohan spoke so passionately and openly, he created a space for our members to explore, think deeper and open up.

Our members came away with techniques that they could action and implement within their own lives to develop resilience and help them build towards the best version of themselves. It was something we absolutely loved and we will certainly be working with him again!

James Sidebottom - Founder of Compound Coaching

Today we had an amazing session with Rohan for our Team Hanson children’s holiday club. He kept all the children focused and engaged throughout the session with physical activity warm ups, interactive talks, and group activities. The session focused on brining positivity into young people’s lives, how they can build optimism and self development strategies! Something the majority of young people in our community need.

Jay Hanson- Managing Director

Massive thanks to Rohan for a really inspiring workshop that focused on building resilience. It was great to spend time as a team thinking about how as fundraisers we deal with setbacks and channel positivity when things don’t go our way. An afternoon very well spent!

Kate Jacques- Director of Fundraising & Development

This chap is an absolute inspiration, he is the epitome of resilience. We are so lucky to now count him amongst our family at Sheffield Hallam and we are honoured that he shared his experiences with us.

 If your organisation or students need to hear about resilience, I cannot recommend him highly enough so get in touch! Thanks so much Rohan!

Jude Langdon- Student Experience Lead & Senior Lecturer in Sport & Physical Activity

Resilience With Rohan's keynote & workshop- all I can say is WOW!

This was brilliant from start to finish, If you, your organisation or anyone you know would like a first rate professional with an incredible background packed with lived experience to deliver a high class workshop session or key note on Resilience then Rohan is your man.

No spoilers in terms of his content but I can say you’ll come away inspired, enthused, more knowledgeable and with some new and innovative ideas about what resilience is, how it impacts and how you can develop your resilience to enable you or the people around you to overcome challenges, grow and develop your people and organisation(s) and face the plethora of adversity in all its forms that we all face in our everyday lives!

Thank you Rohan for teaching me (us) all so much and inspiring us with your incredible personal stories this morning… Absolutely smashed it

Mark Curtin - CEO at Lord's Taverners

I had the privilege of attending the Resilience with Rohan key notes and workshop, and I can confidently say that it was an exceptional experience. Rohan’s leadership and facilitation skills were truly inspiring and outstanding, guiding the team through an engaging and insightful journey on building personal resilience.

From the very start, Rohan set a positive and supportive tone that encouraged participation and open dialogue. His deep knowledge of the topic was evident, but what truly stood out was his ability to translate complex concepts into practical, actionable strategies that we could apply in both our personal and professional lives. He struck the perfect balance between theory and practice, integrating interactive activities, group discussions, and lived experience examples that made the content not only relatable but also empowering.

One of the most impressive aspects of the workshop was how Rohan created a safe space for vulnerability, fostering an environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing their challenges and learning from one another. His approach was both empathetic and motivating, making it clear that resilience is not about avoiding setbacks but about developing the tools and mindset to navigate them effectively – face adversity and become stronger.

I walked away from the workshop with a renewed sense of self-awareness and a practical toolkit for building my own resilience. Rohan was instrumental in making this a transformative experience for all of us, and I highly recommend his workshops to anyone looking to strengthen their ability to cope with adversity and thrive under pressure.

Thank you, Rohan, for such an inspiring and impactful session!

Emma Eade- People Manager

Rohan attended our staff conference in March 2024 and truly inspired the Candlelighters team. From the preparation to the delivery, he was extremely organised, invested, and he really cares, which resulted in a truly excellent outcome. He has a motivational approach and eloquently uses humour to bring sensitive issues and topics to the forefront, captivating his audience! Rohan shone a light on the importance of wellbeing and resilience and the team could have listened to him all day! His insights and knowledge deeply resonated with them and Rohan left them feeling inspired and raring to go with great energy. If you are looking for someone to talk about resilience within your company or organisation then speak to Rohan!

Emily Wragg - CEO at Candlelighters

Rohan presented a very thought provoking and extremely beneficial presentation to our students of varying year groups at Woodhouse Grove School. The students came away with vital techniques to deal with day to day stresses of school life and young adulthood. Rohan made the presentation interactive keeping the students engaged for the full duration and at times leaving them in awe of his amazing life story and the experiences which have led him to be able to pass on such key life lessons. Resilience with Rohan would add huge value to any school year group assemblies or full school presentation. In this day and age it is increasingly important that young people show resilience and understand they can keep up and thrive in what is a fast paced and pressured environment we now live in.

Our Peer Advisory Board Associates members are all experienced business leaders running progressive businesses. However, to achieve success most of us have had to overcome many challenges, both personal and in business and resilience is an attribute that most business leaders need. So when I saw that Rohan had glowing references from previous talks, I invited him to come and talk to our Advisory Board Associates business leaders about resilience. I can thoroughly recommend Rohan to any business leader who wants to help develop resilience in their Board, Management Team or company-wide. He has a unique story of resilience and some insightful techniques that can help anyone, thanks again Rohan.

Richard Doyle- Advisory Board Chair
