Are you interested in:
Inspired & resilient teens, and, an energised school and community?
It's a long time since I've been a teenager, but I can tell you with certainty that the life I live today is the result of the 'talk' which occured when I was in my teens. The 'talk' I had with my peers, the talk I had with my parents, the talk I had with teachers and people of influence, most importantly, the 'talk' I had with myself.
The work I do with many adults is frustratingly fruitless, because they have been so conditioned by their own 'teen-talk', over so many years, that change, whilst not impossible, is significantly more difficult.
The time to set-up an amazing life, have a lasting impact and create generational change, is as a teenager!
My unlikely career as a professional athlete started with 'teen-talk'. The truth is, it's not that I believed I could be a professional footballer, I just didn't know that I couldn't. That naive belief and innocent action put me on a path that has led me to finding my purpose, living with passion and loving my life. Every teenager has the potential for greatness, if they listen to the right 'talk'!

"Andrew Jobling came to speak to our Year 8 and Year 9 students about goal setting, and never giving up. He was engaging, he encouraged the boys to look within themselves for their strengths, and encouraged them to always have the perseverance to keep trying. The boys found him to be motivating, funny, and relatable.
His message is particularly relevant to students ready to take their next step in their life journey. His personal delivery, and his professional approach meant that all students were engaged with his message."

"What a wonderful presentation Andrew offered those who attended the inaugural CBCA Night of Our Stars event. He had us laughing at the mention of his book; Eat Chocolate, Drink Alcohol and be Lean & Healthy, and we had to regain our composure in order to keep going. Andrew’s passion and story of self-belief will have everyone leaving his sessions/workshops/presentations feeling as though anything is possible. With a talent for showing others how to build resiliency and wellbeing, he is the perfect guest to show us how to live a focused, purpose driven life.”
