New Job – Motivational Media
My new Employer, Motivational Media. Finally, something that I will enjoy, that my skills will help with, and that is doing something good for the Youth of our nation!
From what I can see, this organisation isn't just confined to Australia, and is active in America as well. I think what excites me most about this whole job, is the prospect of working with very expensive equipment, to create an amazing presentation, to hopefully impact our Youth. I also look forward to time on the road away from home, new people, new places, new experiences!
The basic run down of my new job: To travel around to schools setting up a multimedia rig, for showing a "motivational" video. The video changes I think every year, and is aimed for today's generation, using footage and music from recent movies and artists that today's generation are watching and listening to. Bringing a positive message of hope, to a confused generation! I'll be based in Brisbane, and travelling throughout the country, so don't expect to be able to get in contact with me, or that I'll be able to attend events. I'm already missing a wedding I was looking forward to for ages! But it's what I've been looking for, a "mission" that uses my skills that I have, and that reaches some of those people I most want to reach, our hurting teenagers, our future generations!
When I get more detailed information, I'll let you know. I will most likely be flying out on the 14th of January, so fair well! Hopefully I'll catch up with most of you before I leave! (And keep your eyes out for "bursts" of photos while I'm away)
To quote a few Australian organisations…
They produce high quality multimedia presentations designed to impact the thinking of youth in our schools.
Each year Motivational Media presents a topic that challenges young people to examine their direction in life and re think the way they conduct life. The topics address issues that confront youth on a daily basis like healthy friendships, drugs, relationships, alcohol abuse, peer pressure and life goals.
The programs are loud and visually impacting.The message is carried through the creative use of contemporary video clips, the latest music, probing questions and comment from famous sporting and entertainment personalities.
Motivational Media presentations do more than challenge young people to think. They offer the opportunity to consolidate the message presented through educational recourse material, which is provided in the total resource package. These resources can be easily and effectively incorporated into the educational requirements of the curriculum.
Motivational Media educates and motivates youth to stake a stand against destructive life styles and make a choices which lead to successful living.
A dynamic educational and entertainment program that challenges and inspires students about attitudes and life
Deals with many social issues and challenges messages about peer pressure and the influence of media and advertising on young attitudes
40 minute presentation uses over $60,000 worth of audio-vidual equipment. This equipment includes a mixing desk and amplifier, a CD player, 2 x 400w speakers, 3 synchronised DVD players and 3 data projectors. The presentation is shown on three screens each approximately 4.5m wide by 4m tall.

I am interested in getting involved again. I had done this in the past for Motivational Media Assemblies and would love a chance to help out in my area of the country again.
