student approval rating
motivational workshops
Graham’s motivational training is positive, vibrant, inclusive, interactive, safe and fun.
To enhance his presentations Graham completed an intensive course which sharpened his ability to relate to, and coach, individual participants and groups using skills that cause the participant to design and create their own outcomes and experience the feeling of personal empowerment. The results were immediate.
contextual training

He retained the whole group of five Early School Leavers over eight weeks which the Manager described as a miracle.
The Trainer's Edge Podcast
Graham has recorded and produced a podcast series to share skills and techniques he has learned that may assist both new and experienced trainers; things that can only be learnt in the wild. The Trainer’s Edge is available on a number of platforms including iTunes and Spotify.
PortCast
Graham highly recommends the PortCast podcast which is a fresh, and refreshing, new podcast about Port Macquarie and surroundings. One on one interviews with amazing people of one of the most loved, friendly and relaxed towns in Australia. Especially interesting for the huddled masses seeking sea-change relief from Capitol cities. (Sponsored of course)

“
The Trainer, to be really effective, must be able to connect through
- rich life experience
- love of learning, a passion for teaching, and broad knowledge and interest
- an ability to understand, empathise with and nurture people.
Without these a Trainer struggles to communicate with diverse clients, and to help clients engage by making the material relevant at a personal level.
The Trainer’s success comes ultimately not from seeking his own success, nor attention to his skills and techniques, but from unwavering focus on the students and their success. “

Two women attending a one-day motivational course reported, within days, that as a direct result of the training, they gained the jobs they really wanted.
Jack asked for help to make a personal presentation to attain his Engineering Associateship. After one on one coaching he reported back that on the basis of his presentation he won his Associateship.
Suzanne’s new sense of determination to succeed academically surprised even her. She described Graham as ‘not a “teacher” teacher’.
Yousef was an Early School Leaver. He decided to go back and finish school.
Ali complained that he was depressed – no job, no girlfriend, no house, no kids, no future – and within months after one-on-one coaching he reported that he was working, was engaged to be married and had put a deposit on the house he had visualised in the sessions. He later reported he would soon be a father.
