Role Models

Encouraging young people to think in entrepreneurial ways is relevant whether they chose to work for themselves or others.

It’s about harnessing the confidence and "can-do" attitude of the dynamo role model and encouraging students to have a positive attitude to life and work.

Dynamo role models are ordinary people who have done extraordinary things by believing in themselves and their ideas.

Their stories touch upon so many areas of the curriculum, personal and social development, as well as lessons in business

What do they do?

  • Encourage self-belief and positive thinking
  • Inspire and motivate students to realise they are in control of their future
  • Educate about the reality of being their own boss: highs, lows, risks and rewards
  • Draw out entrepreneurial characteristics and encourage students to reflect on their own behaviour
  • Encourage entrepreneurial behaviour / thinking in students
