Tiffiny's presentation perfectly complimented our leadership program for our year 6 students, which aims to develop lifelong leadership skills as well as enhance their involvement as responsible and proactive leaders within the school. Tiffiny tailored her presentation to meet our goals perfectly. She shared her life experiences and achievements, including her commitment to motivate others as a Taekwando instructor and health and fitness ambassador. Our students were not only engaged but also challenged, as Tiffiny discussed and questioned how we can create positive changes within the school, and in our home lives. She also focussed on creatign winning habits and changing our focus to achieve success. Our students were captivated by Tiffiny and are still buzzing from the experience.

I want to thankyou so much for what you did today. We've had quite a few motivational speakers, but you are the one that really hit home. It was great to listen to someone who had recently been through what we are going through now (VCE) and could say 'hey, I've
done it...it takes hard work but you can do it too'. The hints and tips you gave us, and how visualization is the key to materialisation (I hope I spelt that right!) was really, and I hate to use the cliche, inspirational. I went straight home that night and pinned my goal enterscore above my bed, and now have a full bottle of water beside my bed to encourage me to drink more. I've also thought about what I want to stop, keep, think, and it's really helped me to assess where i am currently standing and make the changes I know I need to make. You've really inspired me to push myself harder and tell myself that I can do it. I know it sounds corny and cliche, but it's really true.
