On Saturday I had the privilege of speaking to nearly 50 young cadets from across the North West.

I went down to deliver some leadership training, but I came away genuinely impressed by them.

Their maturity, responsibility, willingness to learn and desire to improve was brilliant to see.

I’ve always been a huge believer in what the military can give young people. The investment, responsibility, standards and leadership you can develop at a young age can stay with you for life.

Seeing those foundations already being built through the Cadet Force was fantastic.

My message on leadership was simple:

Learn to lead yourself first.

Before we try to lead anyone else, we need to get our own stuff in order.

We also talked about management. Not managing people, but managing relationships. Up, down and across. Understanding people, building trust and making those relationships work.

A hugely rewarding and inspiring morning.

Thank you for the invitation, and well done to every young person in that room. The future looks bright.

It was an absolute honour and privilege to be invited down to the CCF Combined Cadet Force weekend to speak to around 50 young cadets about leadership and what it really means.

One of the biggest points we discussed was learning to lead yourself first before you can truly lead others.

Too many people have aspirations of doing great things for others, but learning to manage yourself, your emotions, your behaviours and your decisions is the most vital part of becoming a great leader.

From a management point of view, we also looked at the importance of managing relationships both up and down the organisation, understanding people and getting the best possible outcomes from those relationships.

I have to say, I was absolutely blown away by the engagement, the questions and the level of self awareness from the cadets.

Fantastic morning, and hopefully a few of them took something away that will stay with them for years to come.

Better people. Better communities.

That’s Lion Culture.

Yesterday we had a really positive visit to The Care Leavers Experience at The Hub in Crosby, who do a fantastic job supporting young people and care leavers across the area.

The meeting was arranged by Tyrese, our Trailblazer Young Person Ambassador at Lion Culture.

What really stands out to me with Tyrese is the passion he has for supporting other young people who, like him, have come from a disadvantaged background.

Since taking on the role, he has been out there building relationships, making connections and creating opportunities. Yesterday was another great example of him putting that into action.

For me, there are two really important things here. Firstly, seeing Tyrese develop as a young leader and champion for other young people is fantastic. Secondly, it creates an opportunity for Lion Culture to support, guide and hopefully make a real difference to care leavers across the Sefton area.

A big thank you to Lauren for your trust in us and for taking the time to have such an important conversation.

I’m really looking forward to seeing where this can go and, more importantly, seeing how we can help.

Better People. Better Communities.

King’s Cup Golf Day, Formby Golf Club

What a fantastic day from start to finish.

From the company in the four ball all the way through to the evening dinner at Formby Golf Club, it was just a brilliant day with some great people.

It was also great to hear more about the history of the club and its affiliation with the King’s Regiment going back many years. There’s a lot of history here, and it’s easy to forget just how many soldiers from the Regiment have passed through these places over the years.

It was an honour to be sat at the top table alongside the Regimental Secretary and a number of distinguished guests.

For me, days like this are important. Life gets busy, work gets busy and sometimes you’re too tired to make the effort to stop and socialise, but taking that time out to reconnect with good people, remember the history and build new connections is important.

Really grateful for the company, the experience and the network.

Well done to everyone who contributed to making the day what it was. A fantastic King’s Cup and a brilliant day with the King’s family.

King’s Cup Golf Day, Formby Golf Club

It’s looking like a great day at Formby Golf Club for the King’s Cup.

There’s a lot of history between Formby, the golf club and the King’s Regiment. Soldiers from the Regiment have been coming here for years, including during the Second World War, and it’s great to see that connection still going today.

For me, it’s not really about the golf. It’s about the people.

Old friends, veterans, serving soldiers and the wider Regimental family, all getting together, having a laugh and catching up.

Life gets busy, work gets busy, and sometimes you’re just too bloody tired to make the effort to get out and socialise.

But days like this remind you how important it is to take a bit of time out, make the effort and spend time with good people.

Fantastic day with fantastic people.

Proud to be part of the King’s family.

Self regulation.

Today inside the prison, we’re focusing on something that can change the direction of a person’s life, the ability to separate emotion from logic and make better decisions.

It’s about recognising what you’re feeling, creating space before reacting, and finding a more positive response.

Today I’m joined by Knights Breath, who is delivering a breathwork session to demonstrate a practical tool the men can take away and use moving forward.

Because personal development isn’t just about understanding yourself, it’s about learning the tools to manage yourself.

Better regulation. Better decisions. Better outcomes.

That’s Lion Culture.

Yesterday, I walked into HMP Liverpool to deliver our Personal Performance Programme, and something happened that really hit home.

I met a fellow veteran, a soldier I joined the Army with 27 years ago. We went through training together and served in the King’s Regiment.

Yesterday, our paths crossed again, this time inside prison, where he is serving an eight year sentence.

It was a powerful reminder of how quickly life can change and how important it is that we never lose sight of the person behind the story.

But what really matters is what happens next.

Seeing men who have been through our programme begin to turn their lives around, find employment, secure housing and return to inspire the next group is what makes this work so meaningful.

Your past does not have to define your future.

Meeting my old comrade reinforced exactly why we do what we do at Lion Culture.

Everyone deserves an opportunity to rebuild, reconnect and find a purpose.

That’s Lion Culture. 🦁

Today, Lion Culture is heading back inside HMP Liverpool to deliver our next Personal Development Programme. 🦁

But this time, we’re taking something special with us.

One of the lads from our very first course, who we’ve continued to support since his release, is now moving his life forward. He’s secured employment, housing and is building a future for himself.

Today, he’s coming back to share his story, inspire others and show the lads what’s possible when you believe in yourself and have the right support around you.

That’s what Lion Culture is all about.

Not just delivering a programme, but building relationships, creating opportunities and supporting people long after they walk out of the prison gates.

Today, he gets to show the next group that change is possible.

And that’s something special.

Last week I had the privilege of listening to Carl speak in Southport about his book, Iraq, Operation TELIC 9, Arnhem in Basra.

For me, this one hit home.

Having deployed on a number of operations myself, listening to Carl and reading parts of the book brought back memories I don’t often revisit.

It’s a story about leadership when decisions really matter. The pressure of getting it right, and sometimes the consequences of getting it wrong. IDF, direct fire, fear, responsibility, and experiences that don’t always disappear when you come home.

For many veterans, moving forward can be difficult when part of you is still living with what happened years ago.

Books like this matter because they tell those stories. They give people an insight into experiences that can be difficult to explain unless you were there.
Great to support Carl and the book.

Some stories deserve to be told.
