"I wish my son could have been here for your talk!"
- Teacher


Yes! It's so good to see everything opening up again! As a mental health speakers for schools,  I love visiting events, however with restrictions, we've all had to adapt, and a lot of my gigs have been held at the local services club where I hire a room to hold my Zoom sessions. Admittedly the session have been working extremely well and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, however, nothing beats a face to face interaction!  


With everything now opening up, I've had bookings come through to be mental health speakers for primary schools, bullying speakers for high schools, bookings come through to speak at teacher conferences where I'll hold my keynote and reducing stress and anxiety workshops, and also a heap of events for corporate events.2019 was a year with back to back tours with little rest. I traveled the country most weeks, speaking in Sydney, guest speakers in Melbourne, Western Australia, a heap of motivational speakers talks in Queensland, and wherever else you can think of, I was there! 

2020 was a year where gigs slowed down, and this allowed me to work a heap on myself which was very beneficial. Now though, It's game on again, and I'm ready to get into it! I'm actually super pumped to be busty again.I spoke with Eltham in Victoria last week through Zoom. The reason I hire a room at the services club is, they have great Wifi, lighting, and sound. This is to ensure the sessions run as smoothly as possible. I get to the club half hour before my talk, set up, and then liaise with the organiser on the other side to make sure the screens are set up properly. I not only have to have my slides and myself in the same shot, but I need to be sure the shot of my body is underneath the screen of my slides (that probably doesn't make sense, so below is a photo of what I mean). I  like to pint at specific part of my slides throughout my talk, so I like to be underneath it to make sure all our screens are aligned.


Does it make sense now? haha A heap of students after my talks have wanted to grab copies of my book, Stabbed Ego, which is always great to see. It means I connected with them on some level and my presentation resonated with some thoughts or feelings they may be having. I love nothing more than receiving messages from the students afterwards and they open up and tell me what they got out of the talk and the changes they're now making.That's what it's all about. Keep shining :-)

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.
