I managed to survey about 90% of the students that attended the seminar and the response was very overwhelming and extremely positive. Reading the feedback forms indicated that the students were completely engaged and found your seminar extremely interesting. Just about every student surveyed wrote about how the day had a positive impact on them, you should be congratulated for your dynamic and engaging presentation.
The students are still talking about how interesting and fun the day was. I have attached articles from both regional and local media and the school newsletter. Also one of the staff that attended got her year 7 class to do a PMI (positive, negative and interesting) activity on the days seminar. Look forward to finding a way to work with you in the future.
Cheers Lyndon Kuhne.

“I think Motiv8 is a useful program because John is able to speak in a language that boys understand. He uses his experiences riding motorcycles as a vehicle to engage the boys in his message.
“I would recommend John's program to other schools particularly with students who are in year 7-10. His program is specifically targeted at supporting boys to develop their relationships and ability to deal with conflict in positive ways.

Dear John,
My sincere thanks for the fabulous presentation you did for the boys and their dads last Tuesday night. When I was back at the school on Thursday, I received many comments from the boys about how much fun they had and how much they enjoyed your talk. I loved the fact that you were down to earth and honest and that the issues you raised were spot on for what some of them are going through or will go through.You gave them hope and encouragement to rise above their mistakes/misfortunes and make a go of things. On behalf of all the boys and their dads and our school principal, I thank you very much.
Kind Regards,
Veronica

John has a unique way of using simple analogies that young people can understand & relate to. His use of motor sports as being analogous to the ‘ride of life with its twists & turns is something that boys in particular can relate to very easily.
