For schools
Can Ash Manuel speak at our school?
Yes. Ash offers student talks and combined student and parent talks based on Start Where You Are, in person anywhere in Australia or online. Enquire through the Speaking section of this site or email info@growingwithgratitude.com.au.
How the talk works
- Panel style: Ash prepares the questions, and a couple of your students (often school captains) ask them
- A couple of short activities to get students involved
- Followed by teacher-run lessons from the free curriculum, so the ideas don't stop when the talk ends
- An optional student and parent session
Where Ash speaks
At schools in every Australian state and territory, and online.
