Australia's best Business Motivational Speakers, Luke S. Kennedy, spoke to the senior franchisees at Mister Minit.

I was contacted by the CEO of Mister Minit, Mark Rusbatch, and he asked me to speak at an event they had for their senior franchisees. I jumped at the opportunity. Being a motivational speaker,  I love speaking to a room full of driven people, and feel my angle on things is something that will help them think outside the box a bit.

​

When briefed on an event I like top do my own research as well on the company or organisation. I was absolutely blown away by the successes of the Mister Minit brand - I had no idea how much they had achieved after their humble beginnings 60 years ago. I also love the fact that the company invests a hell of a lot into their people - signs of a strong company. 

​

Arriving at the event in Cronulla I soon realised another sign of a strong company - everyone I spoke to had been with the Mister Minit brand for over 15 years! And they were happy.

​

After meeting the franchisees, Mark the CEO then  gave a short spiel on myself before I spoke. The group was incredibly attentive and open-minded. I have a few heavy stories but relate back to some of the stresses each of us have in our every day lives. I speak about anxiety, depression, and also teh labels that we place on ourselves that take us away from our true happy self - the nodding heads throughout the room is what i look for and there was plenty on Cronulla that night. 

​

Requested by Mark, i finished the presentation on a few key points that the team can introduce into their lives to look after their health and wellness. It was an open discussion and their input was gold! We had a good laugh but also got some great point across and even a few promises from them to start implementing some strategies into their lives to help with their health and mental health. 

​

After the talk we all headed down stairs for a drink and ongoing discussion. I also signed copies of my book Stabbed Ego for the franchisees. I have spoken to many large corporations and businesses, and I can honestly say that the culture at Mister Minit is beyond anything I've witnessed. 

​

A couple of days after the talk I received a letter from the CEO;

​

Dear Luke,

​

I wanted to follow up and thank you for a terrific presentation on Tuesday at our Senior Franchisee Workshop. Yours is a great story and really well told. I know from the feedback that it resonated well with our attendees and has incurred a lot of follow up discussion since. Likewise the 'down and dirty' health tips in the wrap up hit the mark.

I also appreciated your time post the presentation and signing copies of your book. The enthusiasm of everyone to get their signed copy and read it was a testament to the inspiring theme and tone of your talk.

Again, well done and much appreciated.

Yours Sincerely,

Mark Rusbatch

Chief Executive Officer

​

That right there is what it's all about. Coming from my own humbling beginnings, I am grateful to be able to now use my story and travel Australia as a Motivational speaker! Being a motivational speaker to different audiences is something I never thought would be possible. Imagine what you could achieve if you just kept making steps forward...
