Testimonials
“Luke’s presentation was not only inspirational but very refreshing and exciting. We can’t thank Luke enough for taking us through his journey and how his journey experiences link so appropriately back to reality for all of us. We enjoyed the connection of your experience back to the experience of our lives and more importantly for helping us refocus ourselves and channel positive thoughts and discipline into our lives during such a hard time for everyone. A very impactful and powerful speaker. We will always remember that “motivation is fleeting and disciple is enduring.”
“Luke was extremely inspirational and our students were very taken with his motivational ideas, particularly his take on Year 12 as being the academic equivalent of his Tough Mudder experiences. Luke made a strong and successful effort to connect with both the males and females in his audience, which made the entire group appreciate his messages all the more. He was engaging, honest, uplifting and definitely made his audience want to leap out of their chairs and make a positive start toward their own finish lines.”
