THRIVING IN A COMPLEX WORLD

HOPE EXPRESS

AN HOUR-LONG SESSION OF EMPOWERMENT & POSITIVITY

Young people are living and inheriting an increasingly complex world – socially, environmentally and politically. It’s a world that causes many to flounder – drifting away from their true identity, forgetting their purpose, and being blinded by societal pressures and fears. Right now, it is also a world where things feel incredibly uncertain. For young people, this can lead to a struggle to stay positive and hopeful.

60 MINUTES OF HOPE

Glen Gerreyn’s uplifting and engaging Hope Express presentation provides a foundation that students can use to build a hope-filled future.

This hour-long session complements your school’s positive psychology and wellbeing programs by highlighting and clearly explaining key concepts such as grit, emotional intelligence, strengths, optimism, empathy, courage, and hope.

During this seminar, students hear a vital message:

THE POWER OF PURPOSE

Young people today don’t lack motivation. What they lack is a clear vision for the future. And with the world changing so rapidly, many become stuck in a permanent and ceaseless present. They find it hard to set goals and have become ‘future blind’.

The Power of Purpose encourages students to consider and take decisive action on who they are, why they are here and where they are going. Gaining a vision for their lives empowers students to take massive action towards their goals and to make a plan for the future despite the current climate of uncertainty.

WITNESS AN INSPIRING, MOTIVATING AND LIFE CHANGING PRESENTATION

Now more than ever, young people need to hear clear, consistent messages of positivity and hope.

Hope Unlimited is an essential program for schools and educational organisations that are proactively encouraging positive psychology, personal development and wellbeing for students.

Compelling and thought-provoking, Glen’s seminar is presented with energy, empathy and warmth. Even the most reluctant of participants will tune into Glen’s message as he shares the extreme personal challenges he overcame as a young man and clearly explains how to master the lost arts of grit, optimism, courage and hope.

FEEDBACK FROM PAST AUDIENCE MEMBERS

“Your discussion was very inspiring and had a massive impact on my outlook on life. I have struggled with self-harm and depression and I believe that a large part of this was due to the struggle of not knowing what my purpose was. From your talk, I have come to realise that my passion is to create things. I would like to say a massive thank you for making a difference in my life.”

“I just wanted to express to you how much your seminar affected me. I have suffered depression for the past couple of years and have only just recently been put on medication. I felt lonely and that I had no purpose in the world. Two things that you said today really hit home with me: “if there is hope in your future, there will be power in your present” and “nothing satisfies the human spirit more than purpose”. Your words seemed to flick a switch in my brain and I suddenly realised that although at the moment it feels like everything is hopeless and I have no purpose, there really are so many things I can achieve and THERE IS HOPE. I also came to realise that I can’t just sit around and wait for my purpose in life to present itself. I need to get out and work for it, strive for it and fight for it; even when my depression tells me otherwise. So I want to say THANK YOU. Your presentation today has honestly changed my view on “the power of purpose”.

“Thank you for coming and speaking to us, it really inspired me to take charge of myself and my life. You didn’t mess around, you were brutally honest with us and that’s just what I think we all needed; it’s definitely what I needed. I went home and unfollowed 643 accounts on Instagram which were bad for my mental health – crazy!! I’ve finished my vision board and started feeling more comfortable about myself as a person again. I’m so much happier. Thank you for everything you told us.

Year 12 Student QLD

“I have struggled with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and was beginning to slip back into that mindset. Thank you so much for reminding how much hope I still have, and the amazing future I want to live for. After your speech, for the first time in 3 years, I actually had the thought that I am so happy I am alive. Thank you so much for saving me. I have even made a vision board and I plan to revive some of my passions that I lost to my mental health. Thank you so much for speaking at my school, and doing what you do.”
