The world has arguably seen more change in the last 100 years than ever before. In a society that is constantly evolving and new, there are new styles of thinking that need to be adapted.

Embrace the crazy
It is our tendency to try and stay in the narrow lane of what society deems ‘normal’, when in fact we could achieve so much more if we accepted our crazy dreams! Whether it is to fly around the world, or start a new company, our opportunities in today’s world are endless - so don’t be afraid to DREAM BIG!

Setbacks are the foundations to success
Often when we fail once, or don’t succeed in achieving our goals, we are ready to give up and move on. Dealing with failure can be a hard thing to do, however if we can change out mindset to see them not as failures, but as the stepping stones to success - our whole outlook changes. Every setback is a learning opportunity, and one step closer to getting it right!

Being a world changer is a choice
It is a corny phrase “to change the world”, but it is possible to do! Whether it is our own world, someone else’s world, or the world as a whole, we have a choice to make a difference. Being a world changer isn’t something you’re given, or fall into, it is a choice you can make!

Collaboration not competition
In the competitive society we live in, collaboration is often an understated opportunity. Refocusing ourselves on working together as oppose to outdoing each other we can achieve more. As the African proverb states: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

Cutting back ‘Tall Poppy Syndrome’
It is an issue in many high schools across Australia, where ideas and achievements are cut down by less motivated peers. An issue I am passionate about tackling by showing other young people what we are really capable of when we work together.

How to bridge the gap between generations
I was once asked by a youth worker when giving a lecture “How can we as generation X and older, bridge the gap between our generation and yours?”, and it was a question that I thought about long afterwards. It is true, that often when there is a significant age gap between the speaker and their audience that the message is lost. However, there are a few ways to ensure that messages do get through!
