Imagine one seemingly ordinary question transforming your entire life. In this inspirational conversation, James delves into his background growing up in Andover Estate, Islington, and how two pivotal experiences - the tragic loss of his father and witnessing a devastating gang fight—made him rethink his ambitions and ultimately choose the path of a youth worker.
But what set him on this journey was an innocent question about money - £5 a day, to be precise. A sum so small it seemed inconsequential, but to James, it ignited a realisation that has since fueled a nationwide impact.
We explore James' philosophy of 'support and challenge,' the crucial balance of guidance and expectation that shapes our youth. He also shares valuable insights on how telling the truth in a loving way is key, tips for building an effective team, and how to connect with your own 'why' to drive change. Listen in as James Aidoo reveals how storytelling can be a powerful force for social impact, and offers practical advice for aspiring changemakers. You won't want to miss the story behind the question that transformed his life and is inspiring the lives of countless young people.
