Stuart Lawrence’s life changed in front of the world on the night his older brother, Stephen, was murdered. While this tragedy has defined Stuart to some degree, it has also motivated him. After a career in teaching. Stuart Lawrence is a motivational speaker. In Silence is Not an Option, he tracks the legacy of life with, and since, Stephen, and offers concrete, proven advice.
He shares mistakes he made such as sitting his GCSE exams immediately after his brother’s death, and shares his early lack of self- belief. Thereafter, he explains how he works to be the best he can be, to make Stephen proud, ‘because [I] knew he would want [me] to be great’.
Strategies, from goal setting, sharing goals with people you trust, understanding money, and learning from failure (fail- first attempt in learning), are offered, alongside examples. We hear Stuart’s voice and the clarity of his message.
