Overview

HMP Leeds is one of the UK’s most recognised correctional facilities, known for its dedication to rehabilitation. As part of its mission to support transformation from within, the prison invited Adz Khan to deliver one of his signature workshops focused on mindset, motivation, resilience, and self-development. With 80 participants including inmates, education staff, and officers, the session brought together powerful storytelling, actionable strategies, and a relatable voice that connected instantly.

The Challenge

Like many prisons, HMP Leeds faces the challenge of re-engaging prisoners who feel disconnected from education, growth, and their potential. Staff wanted a workshop that was more than motivational – they wanted one that would plant real seeds of change. They needed someone who’d lived it, walked it, and come through the other side.

The Solution

Adz Khan delivered a high-impact seminar designed to unlock mindset shifts and empower individuals to take control of their journey. With raw honesty and energised delivery, he shared the very strategies he used to transform from a life sentence to a life of purpose.

Core Themes Covered:
•⁠ ⁠Mindset Training: Understanding how perception and belief shape reality.
•⁠ ⁠Motivation & Resilience: How to keep going through setbacks and adversity.
•⁠ ⁠Self-Development: Taking ownership of growth and setting clear, actionable goals.
