A quick trip to Melbourne this time. Usually when heading there as a motivational speaker, I have numerous talks booked in. This time though, with a few requests interstate beforehand it was just a single school visit. 

 

The motivational speakers for high schools Melbourne visit was booked in late last year. Often when something is booked in that far from the event I can look at other local spots that are keen for a visit. This time though, with a few big events booked in for QLD motivational speakers and northern NSW talks, I could only manage to get down to Melbourne for one day.

 

All of that being said… the event was at St Joseph’s in Ferntree Gully for their day against Bullying & violence. 

 

The first talk was for Yr 8 & followed up shortly after with Yr 7. 

 

I flew down on Sunday evening to speak on the Monday morning.

Arriving at 9pm I grabbed my hire car and drove about an hour to check into my accom and relax a bit before the big morning ahead. 

 

I had a bit of a scattered sleep which I usually do after a day of travel but still woke up ready to go :-)

 

I rocked up to the school which looked super nice & approached the front office. I had a really nice chat with the lady at reception and we discussed some of the deep artwork on the walls that some of their students had designed.

 

Organiser soon came in and we had a brief chat on the way to their brand new auditorium to set up. It was immaculate! Loved the set up and was ready to go.

 

Yr 8 were first up and even at their young age they were mature and presented well. A solid bunch of young man.

 

To sit still and connected for an hour can be tough, but these guys had it sorted! 

 

Post talk I had done chats with the present teachers who informed me that the talk/topics were perfect with what the school had been working with. 

 

A short feed and rest before Yr7 came streaming in. I said the 8’s were mature and the 7’s were the same. Another solid bunch of young men with the latest amount of potential!

 

When the talk was all said (pun intended) and done, I answered a lot of fantastic questions from the 7’s. 

A short trip to Melbourne but a great one.

 

I’m heading back to Melbourne soon for a bigger motivational speakers events where I’ll be speaking at high schools, conference speakers, staff/teacher PD workshops & parent evenings.

 

Blessed!
