South West Rotary Young Achievers Program (Y.A.P.) – A Huge Success

 

Master Justin Warren, Leanne Oshea & Allan

The South West Rotary Young Achievers Program made a big impact on people over the weekend, with 21 of the South West’s brightest Young Adults stepping up in life to get some great advise from many experts in their field.

I was invited to do a talk on “Breaking Through Barriers”, Our goal was to teach the Y.A.P. program how to gain confidence to empower up through Martial Arts Philosophy ending by asking each participant to empower up a smash through a pine board with their Bare Hand, but Mel & I were just one of a group of many experts sharing their experience and knowledge to our next generation of leaders. It was great to also see one of our own Taekwondo Central members &  Australind Vetinarian , Rob Hill give an inspiring talk on Success Mindset. Rob and his team recently won the South West Business Of The Year, so he knows what it takes first hand.

Ive also had the experience of catching up with Dean & Sharon Lomax from Lomax Media. Dean, Sharon and their family have all trained with me in the past and I also had the pleasure of working with Dean, who was my manager in our past employment before we both had decided to follow our passion. Lomax Media has also earned the title of South West Business Of The Year previously and with their attention to detail, they certainly have alot to share with the next generation

 A Big Thankyou to Melissa Warren (Pictured Above Centre) who spent extra time on 1 particular member of the YAP program who lost confidence  and refused to even try the board break. With Melissa’s Experience in boosting confidence, She did an amazing job of helping this young woman build enough courage to attempt the break and………… she smashed it

GREAT JOB MEL
