COLLINGWOOD COLLEGE SESSION
“Our students walked away with a clearer understanding of the diverse career paths available to them and the confidence to pursue their dreams.
We look forward to welcoming Adrian back for future events and highly recommend him as a speaker on career development and choices”
My goal is to motivate students to build a meaningful life.
To release a spark in the student who hasn’t started to believe in themselves just yet, or doesn’t know where to start.
I want my story to kickstart new thoughts and ideas. Thoughts that allow students to meander on what they enjoy, and what is possible. Before embracing their own version of forward action.
Early in my career I went from overwhelming self-doubt to being as comfortable in front of 100,000 people, as I am in front of one. I’m as surprised as anyone.
I’m here to tell my story of overcoming anxiety, turning fear into opportunity and purpose, and learning (slowly) to take care of myself.
Students have a lot to take in, but different voices can be valuable.
I’d like to be one of these voices, to help start a different story.
Who am I?
A snapshot of my story and professional career.

Four ideas underpinning this program.
“Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it, the more you are going to miss. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue. An unintended side-effect of a dedication to a cause greater than oneself.”
— Viktor E. Frankl
