A college manager is delighted king of positive thinking Yehuda Shinar is returning to Blackburn.

The Israeli is credited for instilling a winning thought process into the minds of England's World Cup winning rugby team and then footballers during a 12-month spell with Blackburn Rovers youth team.

On October 2 he will speak to around 100 businesses from across the North West at Blackburn College.

Business development manager, Ian Bowden said: "International speakers of the calibre of Yehuda are a perfect fit for our strategy of working with business to give their employees and their organisations as a whole, the skills they need to thrive."
