MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS FOR SCHOOLS MELBOURNE

LUKE KENNEDY RESILIENCE SPEAKER

LUKE KENNEDY RESILIENCE SPEAKER

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!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

DE LA SALLE ASHFIELD PRINCIPAL REVIEW | 5 Star Review | Luke Kennedy Motivational Speaker | Australia
Motivational Speaker, Luke S. Kennedy, struck a chord with all our boys. His focus on being your true self rather than what others want you be, and doing this through his life story was great.
HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL
ST GREGORY'S CAMPBELTOWN B VETRANO | 5 Star Review | Luke Kennedy Motivational Speaker | Australia
Motivational Speaker, Luke, spoke to our Year 10 and 11 students, the boys were very receptive of what he recounted. The reality of it all made the students really stop and take time to reflect on the choices they might make and the expectations they need to live up to. Luke spoke at their level and was ‘on the mark’ in terms of his delivery. As for his book, well, I have never seen so many students who wouldn’t be caught dead with a book in their hands, literally run to my office to grab a copy for themselves! I would highly recommend Luke to any school.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT PARENT REVIEW | 5 Star Review | Luke Kennedy Motivational Speaker | Australia
As a father of two young boys here tonight, I just want to thank you for an unbelievable presentation. I've never seen a motivational speaker connect so well with kids and adults at the same time. I learnt a lot myself. Thank you again, you're an incredible speaker. I wish you all the best.

KEVIN ANDERSON MP TAMWORTH | 5 Star Review | Luke Kennedy Motivational Speaker | Australia
Dear Luke, I write to sincerely thank you for your personal presentation to the year 9 students from across the Tamworth Electorate. Your journey so far, is an incredible one and it was astonishing to watch a large group of year 9 students totally focused, wide eyed with an occasional gasp during your presentation. They are young and impressionable and you certainly connected with them. It was powerful, sharp, raw, and thought provoking. It     cut through the white noise of general advice to young people regarding the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and the battles of self esteem. The feedback has been strong, positive, and I firmly believe life changing in some instances.  Your Facebook responses clearly indicate that your story has had a positive impact. I thank you again for what you do and I sincerely hope that we can work together again soon. Our young people need you!

NORTHERN BEACHES CHRISTIAN SCHOOL | 5 Star Review | Luke Kennedy Motivational Speaker | Australia
Luke S. Kennedy spoke to our Year 6-10 boys and their parents at an Empowering Boys night. From the minute he started each and every one of them was completely captivated with shock and humour by each story. However, most importantly everyone one of them left that night with a better understanding of who they are and how to handle the challenges life can throw at you.

KOGARAH MARIST YEAR 9 STUDENT | 5 Star Review | Luke Kennedy Motivational Speaker | Australia
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!

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.
