Youth Leadership Conference, Glen Eira City Council
Eddie Perfect was not only a major draw card for our Applied Learning Awards event, his presentation exceeded our expectations and captured the audience’s imagination. Eddie enthralled the audience of young people and adults, reminding students that they are “balls of potential” who can chart their future course by using all of the knowledge taken out of the opportunities they’ve been given to learn. Eddie reminded students that a mix of success, failure, adversity and learning is positive and when thinking about a future career you should “make it something you are passionate about, care deeply about and that you find inspiring”.
