Ignite: Storytelling Showcase features five young speakers who received training from Chris Gray, an internationally known motivational speaker and media personality. Each young person from a different Sun West school, developed a presentation about a topic they feel passionate about and received feedback and public speaking skill training from Chris Gray. The students have honed their presentations and will be presenting them for the first time at Ignite.
This is a unique and exciting free public event! Come out and show your support to these amazing and gutsy young people!
The young speakers are:
Zain explains how a diagnosis with a serious, lifelong illness became a turning point, empowering him to embrace new challenges and grow stronger.
Abby relates her experience as a young woman determined to play the male-dominated sport of football and how this built her character and resilience.
Evolet draws from her own experiences to encourage others to realize that difficulties, no matter how challenging they may be at the time, can always be surmounted.
Wyatt focuses on the qualities of leadership and why these are important to making a better school, community, and world.
Sam shares stories about how he learned that it is essential to face challenges in order to grow in anything.
