Ryan Neile - animal behaviourist
Animal Behaviourist Ryan Neile talks about his life in order to inspire confidence in our own strengths and abilities.
As a child, he found it hard to learn the mainstream way and assumed he wasn't clever. As a result, he often felt very unhappy.
However, being sent on a dog training course as a teenager changed his perception of intelligence. Whilst learning to work with animals, Ryan started to recognise that his natural talents, which included patience, listening and gentleness, were fast achieving results with troubled dogs.
This is how he learned to recognise that he was clever, just in a different way from his friends. Understanding this was his ticket to confidence and career fulfilment.
His message is, "Don鈥檛 compare yourself with everybody else. You are just as clever as them in different ways."
