Keeping your team inspired

Turning motivation and inspiration on its head!!
Question - How do you motivate your team when they’re sitting in their home
offices around the globe?
Answer – bring in a virtual motivation speaker to inspire, encourage and entertain your troops.

It’s times like these, that we can really learn about how to cope, how to be resilient and how to bounce back and WIN. As a champion athlete for over 2 decades, Kerri has experienced hardships and heartbreak yet she has never stopped focusing on the future and continually reinvented herself and found ways to move forward, despite the circumstances.

As a 3 x Olympian, Bronze and Gold Medallist, Kerri is one of Australia’s most successful female athletes. Having represented her country for 20 years she was renowned for being one of the fiercest competitors in the world of Volleyball.

Kerri is also known for being one of Australia's most successful speakers. She's also an MC, workshop facilitator, coach, mentor, entrepreneur and published author.

Using what she's learned from over 20 years of speaking on stages around the world, she’s now going Virtual (for the time being) with an inspiring, interactive and fun presentation to keep your staff’s spirits high – “Build a Champion Mindset and Re-Invent YOU.”

I was fortunate enough to have been on the team with Channel 9, specifically commentating the Beach Volleyball. This was my 8th Olympics (3 competing, 1 as an ambassador and 3 commentating.) It was another incredible experience that I draw on for more stories and motivation throughout my keynotes.

My latest focus is all around the BUSINESS OF WINNING! Everyone wants to win and have a winning mindset. There are many facets of developing great results and I take my audiences through them all, using my experiences and those of other athletes and align them to my audience and their specific industries.

Her Gold Medal Excellence strategies are shared with unforgettable tales that combine motivational messages with fun. She brings her hard earned skills of leadership, teamwork, communication and more to your screen.

From one of the world’s fiercest competitors to one of Australia’s most inspiring speakers.

Using entertaining anecdotes from her experiences as a competitor, and as a regular commentator at the Olympic Games and other sporting events, Kerri will motivate and inspire your audience to overcome their fears and self- doubts, to set goals and to push through any barrier to achieve them. An expert at reinventing herself time and time again, Kerri can relate to the constant need to deal with a changing world to stay successful and reach even greater goals.

With her unique “Build a Champion Mindset and Re-Invent YOU” presentation, Kerri will take you on a journey through her career while showing you how to Review, Reset, Revisit, Revise and Refocus in 2020.

Kerri’s inspiring messages are as relevant to high level executives as they are to more junior teams. Her in-depth research and preparation ensures the content is relevant and specific to each audience, every time. A consummate professional and experienced presenter, she is as quick-thinking on her feet now as she was on the court.

Amongst Kerri’s many skills is her innate ability to connect with the audience in a way that is warm, authentic, and most importantly, relatable. The same strategies that took her to Gold are easily adapted by audiences to achieve their own corporate and personal goals.
