Another humbling experience

I was invited to present to another of the National Young Leaders’ Day events in Perth on Friday. This time, I was speaking to year ten and eleven students from all around WA - last time, it was the year six and seven kids.

I went in wondering how I would connect with this older group, whether they would laugh at my little jokes and asides, whether they would respond to my story and find it interesting. The younger group had been so involved with my last talk and I’d had so much fun. But I thought back to my adolescence and what I was like, and I just wasn’t sure how to pitch my presentation.

But I came away feeling very humbled. In the short time I was there, this group made a huge impression on me. They were responsive, confident, thoughtful, full of fun, and incredibly appreciative. I just wish I’d been like them when I was their age. It is fantastic to see our potential community leaders in one mass.

Go for it guys!
