Brandon Block
Goal Mapping Life Coach, Motivational Speaker, SMART Recovery Trainer, Radio Presenter
After 35 years of being a successful self-employed Dj Block's partying ways finally took their toll in 1996 when he was given just 2 weeks to live and checked into a detox facility asking for help.
Since this day he has never looked back, or returned to his old behaviours, instead, continues to work in the environment which he was told would be more or less impossible, but with a new found strength proves you can change your life when you change your mindset.
In 2010 Brandon found myself at a loose end. Feeling compelled to help people so joined drug & alcohol charity Blenheim CDP, as a volunteer which later became a permanent position. After 5 fantastic years there, he moved onto the NHS working with the mental health team and with people with multiple complex needs. This very demanding position unfortunately took its toll, and Brandon decided to take a break entering into the CBB house which turned out to be a great experience for him.
Brandon now helps friends and peers who are struggling with life, he has a very popular radio show on MI-Soul Radio, the UKs biggest Soul, House and Funk Station with Ricky Morrison.
Brandon has most recently been working on his project Happydaysforeveryone which is gaining momentum everyday, and believes that with subtle changes to your beliefs, behaviours, and thinking, you can be happier on a daily basis.
Although still very much around the music scene, Block is now primarily focused on being a Life Coach, SMART Recovery Trainer, Stress management Trainer, and a Goal Mapping Practitioner.
He has a City & guilds in Health and Social Care along with many other qualifications in NLP, CBT, and REBT.
Brandon has created with our wonderful team at Happydaysforeveryone, a festival offering Tent-Talks, where speakers and therapists come and share their experience, advice and expert knowledge in a relaxed festival environment.
He has also started monthly support group 'Tuned Out' at the Ministry Members club, a confidential space for sharing and talking about life.
