The whole room was filled with emotion...

“Her presentation was 110% relatable and relevant to me as the past 6 months have been difficult. Other students need to see this presentation as I honestly haven’t seen anything so inspiring and eye opening as Kate. I think every student will remember her presentation for a long time.”

Kate changed my life...

“As an athlete, I struggle with the mental challenges of defeat. I had trained so hard for a national event but lost. I suffered many weeks in depression mode. Kate’s presentation inspired me to see the positives in every circumstance. She made me feel stronger and more resilient. I came home that night and smashed out my session repeating her inspiring words in my head and it's the best I have felt in weeks! Kate really changed my life! And I can’t thank her enough for it!”

I wish you'd come to my school earlier...

“I wish you had of come to my school a lot earlier because back when my struggle started, I honestly had no idea how to control it and kept all my emotions inside. Eventually I hit rock bottom. I was becoming a person I wasn't and even I didn't like who I was becoming. Your message has completely changed my mind toward my situation. You've given me new courage!”
Year 11 Student / Mount Carmel Catholic College
I always have a choice. I know that now...

“I am not one to think in a positive way. After listening to Kate, I now understand the benefits of not giving into negativity. I liked learning about the power of "inner speech" to change your thoughts. I will reflect upon and use this technique in the future when I become overwhelmed by my negative thoughts.“
