SOME OF THE TOPICS KEVIN COVERS…

SHADOW PLAY: EMBRACING YOUR DARK SIDE FOR A HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER LIFE

From childhood, we learn to conform to social expectations, hiding traits that don’t fit accepted norms and pushing parts of ourselves into the shadow.

Influenced by cultural narratives, we often reject in others what we suppress within, creating inner conflict and disconnection. This can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance misuse, overeating, or gang involvement.

By confronting and integrating our shadow selves, we build self-awareness, emotional balance, and authenticity — fostering healthier relationships and greater overall wellbeing.

MENTAL HEALTH: THE SPECTRUM, SYSTEMS AND STREET CULTURE

Kevin George’s mental health talk explores the connection between emotional wellbeing, education, and street culture, revealing how social inequality, identity, and lived experience shape young people’s behaviour and self-perception. Drawing on his background as a counsellor, educator, and former professional footballer, Kevin offers an honest and engaging look at how behaviour often masks emotional pain and how empathy can drive change.

Through real stories, psychology, and humour, he challenges traditional ideas of success and mental health, empowering audiences to value lived experience and create environments where every young person feels seen, supported, and able to thrive.

ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACE): HOW OUR ENVIRONMENT CREATES OUR LEGACY

In this talk, Kevin shares the origin story of the ACE Study and delves into the enduring impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on various aspects of our lives. This includes effects on educational outcomes, incarceration, employment, mental health, and physical well-being.

Attendees will gain clarity about their personal history and the history of those close to them. They will understand why obesity, gangs, and drugs are perceived as solutions, and learn strategies and behaviours to apply from both an individual and organisational perspective.

THE MOTHERBOARD: CONDITIONING YOURSELF TO PERFORM TO YOUR MAX

Peak performance is often portrayed as a conscious, straightforward formula, but in reality, it heavily relies on substantial support from the unconscious mind. Decades of research underscore our dependence on the unconscious and the necessity of conducive environments for surpassing individual capabilities.

In his talks, Kevin introduces ‘The Motherboard,’ offering details and insights that challenge conventional narratives surrounding elite performance, some of which contradict the established messages we commonly hear.

Using football as a central theme, Kevin draws on historical research and his own extensive work, including over 100 hours of interviews with elite performers for his book, ‘Soccology: Inside the Minds of Successful Professionals.’

Through this journey, he leads the audience to reflect, self-assess, gain new awareness, find motivation and provides specific actions.
