With more than a decade as a youth speaker and teen mentor Nathan has engaged audiences in Australia and Internationally. His stories of overcoming adversity and disability at a young age, to follow his dreams and achieve success have inspired others to do the same.
His passion to help young people is evident in his presentations. He also has an amazing ability to connect and engage with youth right where they are at, bridging the gap as a friend, mentor and inspirational figure.
Nathan addressed my Year 12 students at their study camp. The message is a simple one, but delivered with the calibre of many a stand up comic. To get such an empowering, uplifting, motivational message across with laughter and engagement was a real feat without any of the cliched cheese or "whoop". The message is being revisited in my year level meetings, and my addresses to parents on information evenings. What is the message? Now that would be telling. But in my 16 years teaching I've taught all-comers; from the brightest to the most damaged and damaging. This message is a key to fulfillment for all. I'll be rebooking Nathan.
