Rising Above Challenges
Luke's journey to becoming a motivational speaker is one of remarkable transformation. For eight years of his life, Luke weighed close to 130 kilos and found himself leading a gang in the streets of Sydney. Amidst the chaos, he faced harrowing experiences, including being stabbed twice, battling addiction, and grappling with the darkness of self-hatred and despair. Despite projecting an image of strength and confidence to the outside world, internally, Luke was plagued by fear, depression, and anxiety.
Turning his life around through a relentless pursuit of personal growth in all areas, he's now Australia's most sought after Motivational Speaker, International Best Selling Author, Successful Business Owner, Mental Health Advocate, & Mentor to Troubled Youth.
Inspiring Others Through Authenticity
Luke's presentations are more than just motivational speeches... they are transformative experiences that draw on his own journey of adversity and triumph. He shares candidly about his past, inviting audiences to open up emotionally and mentally, before guiding them on a journey of introspection, inspiration, and even some good laughs.

"Today the yr 5's & 6's experienced a life-changing speech that will improve how we will treat others and ourselves. We found it very inspirational and we now feel like we can be whoever we aspire to be if we put our minds to it. Luke told us to be grateful for our life and make the most of it. This was a really good way to look brightly into our future. Luke had told us about his childhood of being negative and a bully towards himself. He also gave us tips to make our future positive, peaceful, and live our life to the fullest.
We learnt about meditation, reading books as well as how technology can impact our mental health"
- Students from Warrnambool East Primary

Sydney's best motivational speakers for schools, Luke S. Kennedy, returned to speak to the high school students of St Gregory's College Campbelltown for the second time. His inspirational speech for students the previous visit created a big impact!
It was an absolute pleasure to come back and speak to the students at St Greg's. I was there a year ago and at the time I was the first speaker to have had the privilege to speak in the college's new auditorium. As a motivational speaker it's great to be invited back to speak at the same location. I made a big impact speaking to the student's last time, and still get messages now from those guys.
I travelled to the school with a friend of mine, and another Sydney motivational speaker, Kath Koschel from The Kindness Factory.
Kath's story is next level!! It was nice to have her there for the trip to Campbelltown and to watch me speak.
Presenting again to year 10, I spoke for 45 minutes to the young men who were extremely attentive. I noticed Kath up the back smiling and nodding her head. It made me smile.
I was pumped to hear a heap of the audience had already read my book, Stabbed Ego! I was intrigued to hear their thoughts of the book and was blown away with their insight. The students of St Greg's always impress the hell out of me!
I look forward to returning to St Gregory's College to speak again next year.
