ROBYN MOORE’S CATHOLIC-CHRISTIAN EDUCATION PROPOSAL

There are speakers who speak about a specific topic. There are speakers who share their inspiring stories. AND… there are speakers who change peoples' experience and appreciation of all aspects of life...and get them into ACTION and "back into their lives" (at work and home) no matter what CHANGES...POLICIES...or CIRCUMSTANCES are coming at them during these challenging times! That’s what Robyn Moore does! She transforms the attitudes, behaviours and LIVES of people…so they not only fulfill their own potential, but also become “a significant person” in other peoples’ lives…as a leader. In Robyn' s authentic presentations, she shares her life, humour and passion…and also her faith journey.

"The Power of the Word…BIG Words, BIG People, BIG Lives!"

Question: What "outcomes" do you want your speaker to produce? Passion for Vocation/Profession, Motivation, Inspiration, Entertainment, Communication Skills? More access to Leadership, Re-creation of Staff Culture, Change Management Skills, Re-engagement, Teamwork, Life Balance, Relationships, Partnerships with Staff, Parents, Students and Community, Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence, Renewal of Faith…or a specific request?

Robyn's presentations are tailored to your Brief as well as being designed to: • Re-ENGAGE your audience with their whole LIFE… (their Vocation/Job, Purpose, Family, Relationships, Community…Themselves!) • Re-ALIGN with their Mission, Vision, Values and Goals. • Re-INVENT attitudes and behaviours…attendees access personal responsibility and self- determination. The bi-products are Leadership, Integrity and Authenticity. • Re-GENERATE Passion, Energy, Productivity, Laughter and Work/Home balance. • Re-MIND your audience about what "really mattered before the circumstances changed everything!" They get to experience Possibility, Optimism and Satisfaction again…and the desire to pass this onto others in their lives. • Re-STORE confidence in the future of Families, Education, Community…Society.

Imagine these "outcomes" for your School and Parish Community…

“In my many years in education and attendance at conferences and similar events I have never seen a presenter connect so well with those participating. Our teachers, aides, administration people, Principals, Catholic Education Office personnel, Parish Priests... took part of Robyn away with them in their hearts and minds back to their schools and workplaces. And for all that they took from her; Robyn seemed touched and strengthened as much as they did! She is a special person who inspires everyone she touches." Jo-Anne Bond (Catholic Ed Conference Warnambool)

“Excellent! Robyn's presentation was powerful and uplifting, she was able to incorporate all of the initiatives we are undertaking here at school this year and the students and staff were really moved by the whole presentation. Robyn was able to ask the hard questions of our students which was part of the brief and she really tapped into their own personal journeys which was also part of the brief. The presentation style in two parts also worked extremely well and really gave our students a chance to work on their own self development.” Trazel Scott Merici College (Year 11 Camp 2003-2015)

“Robyn's rapport with her audience was exceptional. She had them in the palm of her hand from her opening lines. Robyn was able to fulfill our brief 'to bring staff and parents together and to help build a good relationship between the two groups. Robyn did much more that this. She gave us all something to take home and apply to our personal lives and relationships too. So many parents and teachers are still talking about how great a night we had that we will certainly be looking for more opportunities in the future to hold similar evenings.” St Kevin's Primary School (Teachers and Parents Event)

“Excellent! Robyn Moore was a fantastic speaker who had a huge impact on the audience. We were all laughing and crying and taking on board her words of wisdom.

Many staff have commented on her input and have been positively affected by the professional learning experience.” Alison Stone Mt Alverina College

OTHER CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS AND YOUTH FOCUSED CLIENTS:

“WOW. What an impact you have had yet again. I SO love doing this adventure with you. Thank you for standing with me and walking with me each and every step of the way”. Bec Heinrich CEO “Rising Generations “Youth Forums and National Youth Camp (1998-2013)

“It was an absolute privilege having you as our guest speaker at our Lutheran Schools’ Association Secondary Schools’ Staff Conference. Your entertaining, inspirational, and captivating contribution was pivotal in giving everyone a memorable experience. Heather Vogt Principal Endeavour Lutheran College 800 delegates

Some Comments from the audience: • “The best speaker I have heard in 32 years of PD! Honest risk-taker, vibrant, mirrored the conference theme so well. Lovely to have a Christian that reflected the gospel values and lives them out in her life!” • “Great to hear someone breathing words of life into others.” • “I have used the material personally and shared elements with several others outside my work place.” • “Hilarious and a deep thinker. This is humour with depth. A fabulous mix.” • “She was wonderful, approachable, personable, realistic and engaging. An excellent role model for being a good teacher.” • “I wish I’d heard her earlier in my life.”

“Robyn works with story from light hearted motivation through to dropping her audience right into a serious moment that underpins the authenticity of what she is saying. Very few speakers can work in the format that we have used for year 12 students with 90 minute first up talk and hold the students throughout. Robyn is also able to blend reflections on her experience of the Christian faith in natural and authentic ways that further underpin a holistic approach to her topics - this is important to us as a Lutheran College. Students as “authors of their own lives” is a concept that we are building on going into the year. Thank you Robyn, great working with you again!” Grant Wildman Tatachilla Lutheran College 2011-2015

"Excellent! Robyn was fantastic. As a last minute inclusion and completely different from our keynote speaker who had pulled out Robyn was really well received and provided a great balance of humour, insight and personal experience. The "crikey" moments were fabulous." Kathy Prior Resilient Kids Program, Wesley Mission

“Robyn was very well received from a very diverse population - from the Maintenance Dept. to Administration Officers to Teachers. The best outcome that I can see is that the community came together sharing their laughter and tears. Some feedback: • Inspirational • Incredibly funny and entertaining speaker • Staff laughed and cried throughout • Passionate • Engaging and personal • Made us think about ourselves • Very professional • Where did you find her, she was fantastic • Best motivational speaker I have heard!” Paulina Skerman Head of Senior Schooling Clayfield College

“I have heard nothing but praise and excellent comments of thanks and amazement regarding this woman who seems to be a dynamo of energy and ideas. Rarely are we privileged to listen to humour that is laced with a meaningful and thought-provoking message.” Bob Bolst (Executive Director - The Avondale Foundation (Christian Educational Foundation)

From a parent at a “Volunteering EXPO ”for students at an Anglican College… “Robyn Moore, Australia's most in-demand female speaker visited the Senior School Campus last week. She captivated the hearts and minds of all the Years 8 to 12 students for 45 minutes. Every student in the room had their attention firmly fixed on Robyn. Passion radiated from her. As the students came away from this session, I heard them say that Robyn was amazing and inspiring.”

From a Year 12 Student one week after 4 of her friends were killed by their father: (Anglican Girls School) “While sitting listening to you speak, I realised how “extraordinary” my life really is and that I shouldn’t be wasting a moment of it. Thank you for filling my head with empowering thoughts. That night I had my first full nights sleep since I found out about Bec and her sisters. I’m now not only motivated to pass my exams but I’m aiming to do really well.”

…and from a Year 11 Student at a Catholic School… “I just want to tell you how much you touched me in the heart today. I am a Christian, but I haven’t been acting like it lately. You have helped me see how important every second of my life is. You are blessed with a talent of sharing and giving messages. Thank you so much. Love in Christ …”
