Keynote speaker: Ventson Donelson
When life sends you spiralling to a negative place how do you refocus, set new goals
and dreams and rise again to find new and exciting success? Join Ventson Donelson
to hear how you can make every moment count—even the ones you’d prefer not to go through.
Donelson has faced many life-altering challenges, including having his professional
football career end prematurely due to a severe head and eye injury. Using his inspirational
story and over 30 years of national and international experience with life coaching,
motivational interviewing and employment counselling, Donelson will help you understand
the tools and mindset required to help overcome the obstacles preventing you from
owning the competitive edge needed to reach your true potential.
“What we feel within those different moments in life will affect our actions and choices
we make. Be present, even in those challenging moments. Be relentless with your mindset,
no matter what you go through. It’s your moment, your time!” - Ventson Donelson
Agenda
Opening remarks and an engaging keynote speaker will kick off the morning, followed
