GRIP Leadership

From our GRIP Leadership family to yours we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

One of our favourite photos from our #leadership events earlier in 2020... we can't wait to be back face-to-face at our events in 2021! #gripleadership #fun #students

Another great chance to work with student leaders for us this week at Hornsby Girls' High School. Happy Friday!

Public Speaking Tip # 6 - Know How to Interact With Your Audience Audience interaction sounds like a good thing, but if you don't plan it and practice it then it can make your speech a total flop.

A HUGE congratulations to all of the senior student leaders who are finishing (or close to finishing) what has been an incredibly challenging year to LEAD THE WAY at your school. We wish you all the best as you look towards the next chapter of your life and leadership!

Public Speaking Tip # 4 - Select the Right Stories There are so many places to get stories. You can use well-known stories, the stories of famous people, stories told in movies and also your own personal stories.

We had a great time completing student leadership training with Year 6 students from Queenwood School for Girls on Friday - and we would LOVE to come and visit your school. Send us a message to find out how to make it happen!

Public Speaking Tip # 3 | Be a Good Storyteller Including stories in your speech will help your audience to remember the point of your speech. The art of story telling needs to be practiced so that your audience will be engaged.

Happy World Teacher's Day to all of you incredible teachers who work alongside student leaders all year round! Thank you for all that you do to show students how they can lead the way in your school community.

Public Speaking Tip # 2 | Manage Your Nerves Nerves aren't a bad thing, so you don't need to get rid of them. So that your nerves don't distract you it is helpful to plan little moments in your speech when you can pause and breathe.

In part 6 of the #Fundraising Ideas Series Andy and Ronan give a bunch of ideas for fundraising small amounts of #money over a longer period of time. After using these ideas for a few months, you will find they are easy to organise and your fundraising will be super successful

All the best for Term 4 student leaders! Whatever the rest of this year brings - you got this!

Got an end-of-year speech coming up? Maybe a speech to present yourself as a student leader for next year? Watch this space because we're going to share 7 tips to take your public speaking to the NEXT LEVEL!

Had any great ideas for Term 4 over the holidays? Or hear/read/watch any great pieces of leadership advice? Share your holiday gold with us and other student leaders below! Good luck for Term 4 🎉

This stoked it's holidays?!!? There's some enjoyable things you can be doing to upskill your leadership while you take a well-earned break. Try reading a book, watching a famous leader's documentary or using a journal to reflect on your 2020 leadership journey so far!

Question is - who wore it best? 😜 #MaskOn

Happy, Happy Birthday to GRIP Leadership legend and Loud Noise Boy lifetime member ANDY! Thanks for all you do for our team and to inspire students everywhere to be better when it comes to their leadership journies! We hope you have a GREAT day.

GRIP team members had a blast delivering leadership training for some legendary Grade 6 students recently! They discussed the best methods for "leading the way" in their school and came up with dozens of new ideas to help their school community.

We've shared about the four CORE characteristics of a leader (listed in this graphic) over the last few weeks. Which needs to become a focus for you? What about for your team?

Andy, Sam and Marnie were pumped to be able to do live leadership training with local schools in sunny Bowen, Queensland today! 💪 🎉
