Inspiring People to be the Best they can be, at Home, in School, at Work, in Life @Art Of Brilliance
Cardiff, GB
Delivering life changing keynotes, workshops and coaching to Government Departments, Corporates, Small Businesses, Schools, Colleges and Universities. Taking the latest research on positive psychology, neuroscience, happiness and flourishing and making it simple to understand and implement for all ages; at home, in schools, communities and the workplace.At Art of Brilliance we believe that maintaining a realistically positive outlook is the cornerstone of being your best self and being able to flourish in the 21st Century. We believe that happiness is the starting point, not the destination. We believe that everyone can be their best self by putting some effort into making some simple changes in the way they think about and view the world. We believe this because there is a wealth of scientific evidence that supports it, but the science gets in the way of people applying it in their lives. Standing in front of a hall full of primary school students or office workers explaining the intricacies of the Limbic system and neuroplasticity will go down as well as a sexist comedian at a women\'s rights rally!So we keep it simple, take the jargon out, make it entertaining and make it easy to try out in your life.It\'s the best job in the world.
EDUCATION

ABOUT MIKE MARTIN
I\'m one of those people fortunate enough to love the work I do. I love it so much I have two careers that intertwine and support each other. Linkedin finds that a bit hard so I\'ve had to choose one to be at the top of the pile, but both are important to me.The one that brings me the most joy is working as an freelance trainer/coach/speaker/author (delete as appropriate) for The Art of Brilliance. It is a dream job as I get to work with so many beautiful humans with the sole aim of helping them to be the best versions of themselves and helping them wake up to the full magnificence of life.My particular focus at the moment is to leverage my IT Geek side to develop and grow a free to all online wellbeing community. It\'s there to support anyone who needs it on their wellbeing journey. It\'s called \'The Buzz\' and it runs on the Discord platform. Search \'art of brilliance the buzz\' and you\'ll find it. The dream is a simple one: millions of humans across the globe supporting each other to improve their wellbeing. Let\'s face it, we need all the help we can get. I would love you top join me on the journey.In my other career I look after the Digital & Technology Strategy for the Office for National Statistics. It\'s a fantastic organisation to work for and I\'ve been there since 1988. My technical skills are primarily in the IT Operations space with hardware and corporate software and operating systems.Over the years I have developed really strong skills in leadership, IT change, business change and culture change. That\'s a lot of change and in a world where change velocity is constantly increasing, they are good skills to have.My greatest strength is my flexibility. Whatever context I am working in I am able to quickly identify any gaps and fill them. I identify the difference that will make a difference and fulfil that role. Where there is chaos I bring order, where there is stagnation I introduce a little chaos. It keeps things interesting.The common theme across all the roles I have had is around helping people to be at their best. Because when you are at your best life is easier, more fun and you perform better. Everybody wins. For me strategies are all about giving people direction in terms of what they do, how they do it and of course why they are doing it. Strategy gives shared meaning and a good one should shape your culture rather than the other way around.I would love the privilege of sharing your wellbeing journey with you. If you fancy it come and join me in The Buzz on Discord xx
