FREE PARENT EVENING with

LUKE KENNEDY Tuesday 20TH November 6pm at Gunnedah High School Come along and take the opportunity to hear one of Sydney’s best motivational speakers.

LUKE KENNEDY

────

On the outside, he looked strong and confident; on the inside, his thoughts would come to haunt him. He was incredibly scared, depressed, anxious, and awkward in social situations. Luke always worried what other people thought about him, which led to him committing some harsh acts and missing many positive opportunities.

────

He opens up the audience’s eyes, and mind, to their ego – to the labels that we battle to live up to, and relates his story back to some of the masks the audience would be wearing. He then shows how these labels, and worrying what other people think, is ruining our relationships, following through on ideas (it could be as simple as not making those crucial sales calls, or not putting your hand up in class), happiness, and success in every area of life. Becoming aware of ones ego and labels, is the first step towards releasing it.....
