'inspriring australia' summit #02

Another inspiring Australia session with people who have done - amazing things.
The surprise was catching up with the inspirational Toni Wood who left the Whitsundays 3 years ago to move to Brisbane. More surprising we are both doing the same Weight Loss Consultants course. Many stories to share now as time goes by :)
Stayed on for the mastermind group in the afternoon this time - of GREAT benefit. And realised I still have SO much learning to do!
 
Life, I guess, is one continual lesson :)
 
The speakers:
 
Dr Chris Sarra
In his insightful presentation Dr Sarra will share how he challenged Australian educators to purge their collusion with low expectations of Aboriginal children and embrace a newer, more honourable, Stronger Smarter reality. Upsetting a status quo always brings many challenges especially when an entire profession must be challenged to transcend the toxic sludge of low expectations. Dr Sarra offers very personal and professional insights into some of these challenges as he overcame low expectations of himself as an Aboriginal student in school, as he overcame low expectations in one school, and how he has embraced the challenge of overcoming low expectations in all Australian schools.
Dr Chris Sarra is a world-class educationalist, government advisor, Commissioner to the Australian Rugby League Commission, and has won numerous awards and honours including QUT Chancellor’s Outstanding Alumnus and Faculty of Education Award Winner, and has twice won Australian Of The Year, Queensland. Dr Sarra has been featured on Australian Story, Courier Mail, The Daily Telegraph, 4BC and has had many numerous radio and television appearances.
