Join us for episode six of the Resilience Skills Speaker Series featuring William Pike. William Pike’s story is truly inspiring, and his resilience in the face of adversity is remarkable. Despite losing his leg in a volcanic eruption, he has continued to live life to the fullest and pursue his love of adventure – both in the outdoors and in business. As an ex-primary school teacher, William has dedicated the past 12 years of his life to encouraging young people to step outside of their comfort zone through the William Pike Challenge. The programme is all about building wellbeing, resilience and 21st Century skills for the future. To date, almost 30,000 students have participated in the programme from around New Zealand.
