The Moment That Feels Scary
There’s a moment—just before you step out of a plane—
where everything in you tells you not to.
Your heart’s racing.
Your mind is loud.
And suddenly, all the reasons why you can’t do it show up.
And then… you jump.
That moment is what I bring into every assembly.
Because for students, it might not be a plane…
but it feels just as real.
Speaking up in class.
Trying something new.
Taking a risk.
Getting something wrong in front of others.
That’s their version of the jump.
What These Talks Focus On
These assemblies are designed to help students think differently about:
- Confidence and self-belief
- Fear of getting it wrong
- Stepping outside of their comfort zone
- Resilience and handling setbacks
- Trying, learning, and growing
Not through theory.
But through real, relatable experiences they can connect with.
Why Schools Book These Sessions
Students don’t need more information.
They need something that sticks.
These talks:
Capture attention from the start
Feel real, not scripted
Create moments students remember
Give simple, practical ways to think and act differently
Because the goal isn’t just to inspire for an hour.
It’s to shift how students show up afterwards.
