Today is A level exam result day in the UK.
This will bring stress and anxiety to a lot of young adults. Catastrophising that their future is doomed, comparing themselves to peers and fear of bringing shame on families.
Some of these people will have support networks around them, some won't. As business leaders we need to make this very clear, their future is not doomed, no matter what the result. We can reach out and help young people by providing a listening ear, guidance and finding that diamond within everyone worth polishing and shining.
Suicide has affected and impacted my life. I have lost close family and friends to feeling like there's no way out. There is always a way out. Today, tensions and stress will be heightened. Be aware, be kind and be supportive of the people who are around you. Exam results do not define us. We are more than numbers and letters on a piece of paper.
We had the best time at Flackstock last week 🙌 It's such a special event and we're feeling really grateful to be part of it for the third year running.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support and made the day so incredible. 💚
