The Breakaway Academy was established in 2009 by Fred Carr (Founder and Trainer). The concept was developed in order to fill a gap in the educational system. Having successfully achieved academically through school, college and University, Fred identified very early on that there was rarely a sufficient amount of education in presentation skills, communication skills and positive thinking. These skills are invaluable to the effective development of young people, socially and academically. Not only are they useful in further education and employment, but these skills are equally as transferable to peoples personal lives enabling them to live fulfilling and successful healthy lives . Thus, the Breakaway Academy was born.
Our mission is to create a more positive and skills enhanced youth for the future, allowing young people to achieve their potential and go on to become successful in whichever career path they choose.
We currently offer training seminars on developing presentation, communication and positive thinking skills which are held in schools and also in the community. Please take a look at our seminars page for more information.
We also provide free advice and articles on a variety of self development topics which are useful tools for anybody of any age group. Please take a look at our free resources page.
It is hugely important in every area of our lives to feel comfortable interacting with others and being confident in ourselves. We are constantly presenting ourselves in various forms, be it in a professional presentation, a job interview or merely socialising with friends, either way we are performing all the time. It is with this in mind that we developed the Breakaway Academy which aims to equip young people with not only the skills required for academic success but additional skills that allow young people to breakaway from limiting beliefs to achieve their potential.
A Law graduate with years of experience in sales and marketing within the pharmaceutical sector, Fred understands the importance of effective communication and the ability to present ones self in a professional and confident manner. With a keen dedication to helping young people achieve their potential, his seminars and training sessions are fun and interactive allowing students to effectively enhance their skills whilst being inspired and enjoying themselves at the same time.
