WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

BOOK NOW

Hi Luke, I'm from Blaxland East and I would like to tell you my story. I have very bad anxiety and I always feel down on myself. I'm always sad and I don't want to go to school but when I heard your story I thought and I realised that you got through it so I can too. You really inspired me. Thanks and good luck in your gym and I hope you help other kids by telling them your story.

YEAR 5

I went around to the student's this morning and all students had such positive thing's to say. Most were able to connect with your stories and a lot had said that they have learnt the importance of self love and acceptance. I really felt the vibe shift from some of our more troubled students when I sat and spoke with them. They were able to reflect on their friendships and not such good choices they have made in the past. Thank you again for the amazing talk!

Luke’s the Best We’ve Seen! That was the response from the Marketing Team at Optus after attending one of Luke Kennedy’s motivational sessions. Having worked with countless speakers and presenters, the team was blown away by Luke’s ability to engage, energise and connect on a real level. His raw storytelling, practical insights and authentic delivery left a lasting impression – one that stood out among all others. As they put it, “Luke’s the best we’ve seen."

The impact you had on our year 4-6 was significant. They are still talking about it and we have seen a marked difference in the students being more 'present', particularly around adults.

Hey mate you spoke at my school today, it was so good to hear from a person who felt how I feel sometimes. I feel like people are always judging me and I'm scared of what they think. I'm in the middle of reading your book. I don't normally read books but I'm really interested in this book. You have made me think:Who cares about what other people think of me? Just be me." All afternoon I've been telling Mum and Dad about your speech today. Thanks heaps, you've really touched me!

We were fortunate enough to have Luke recently speak at our annual conference. He absolutely crushed it - he used his story to connect with our entire group and was so effective that our staff are still raving about his impact. Great speaker, but a better bloke

ABOUT

LUKE KENNEDY

In my years of experience, one thing has become clear: I know people. I understand what works-and a lot of what doesn't. Genuine connection is the cornerstone of progress and impact. My ability to connect deeply with people is what makes my talks and workshops leave a strong and lasting impression. If you're just looking for a motivational speaker to inspire for the day and leave it at that… I'm probably not the right fit. While I do inspire in the moment, what truly matters to me is how to harness that inspiration to drive lasting change long after the presentation is over.
