The Guest Speaker series is a knowledge sharing and career guidance platform that gently allows children and their families to understand the different paths available. We invite the best from all industries and practices and their stories reflect the breadth and depth of their decisions, and sometimes the sacrifices involved.
"These speakers come with a wealth of knowledge, broad experiences and are very passionate about their work. My hope is that their stories will inspire us to work on our dreams and aspirations."
