Changing the Narrative with Gethin Jones - 304
Manage episode 450157967 series 2898074
Trigger Warning - this show briefly discusses difficult topics including self-harm and suicide.
Gethin Jones is a survivor, but what few people would have believed, (including Gethin), was that he would also become an international speaker and thought leader.
Growing up in the care system, he spent a total of 8 years in prison, battled intravenous heroin addiction, and was trapped in destructive patterns that seemed destined to lead him to more prison time or an early death.
He found the will to change his life and a way to transform his own narrative arc, and today he shares his story and offers hope and a different future to others incarcerated and employed within the justice system.
Gethin leads Unlocking Potential, a company that works within prisons, probation services, local authorities, and charities across the UK, Australia, and America. He delivers keynote talks, workshops, training, eLearning, and consultancy, aimed at helping individuals, teams and creating a justice system that is fair and fit for purpose for everyone.
If you are struggling to overcome imposter syndrome, or finding it a challenge to get traction with your message, then listen up because you will get inspiration and insight from Gethin’s journey from inmate to international speaker.
Enjoy!
What you’ll discover:
- The story of Gethin’s transformation from inmate to international speaker.
- What prison pipelines are and how Gethin is trying to change the justice system.
- How he busts the myths to shift the narrative about reform.
- How he positions his talk and services to connect with a business audience.
- The mindset and practical steps that enabled Gethin to build a speaking career from one networking meeting in 2016.
- Gethin’s advice if you feel that you have a message that no-one wants to hear because it is difficult and challenging.
- How Gethin approached the first talk he gave.
- Why Gethin always approaches speaking as a pupil with something to learn.
- Where speaking fits with moving his mission forward.
