Ignite Brisbane October 2018

An Ignite event is a series of five-minute presentations. Speakers provide 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds, resulting in a fast-paced talk that is loaded with ideas. As the Ignite slogan states “Enlighten us, but make it quick”

Ignite is also about having fun, and showing that presentations don’t need to be about “death by PowerPoint”.

Ignite® Talks are now being re-launched in Brisbane

Speakers

Sarifa Younes - "Love your obstacles" 

The purpose in life can only be realised through lot of meaningful obstacles in your journey. If we are not faced with obstacles and challenges, we become weak, stale, stagnant and vulnerable. I want to encourage the world and the people who are victims of their circumstances to love their obstacles. They could turn those obstacles into opportunities for their advantage to venture their BIG dreams.

Roula Selinas - "Is Cancer Good for You? "

The storms of life will hit all of us. Life throws us unexpected hurdles. No matter how hard things get, if we persist, we can find the strength, courage and hope to get through adversity and start anew. You can achieve and overcome anything you set your mind to.

Nicholas King - "Discovering your Life Purpose "

Our uniqueness as evidenced by the distinctiveness of our eyes, fingerprints and facial features provide us evidence that we are one-off masterpieces and that we are created to fulfill a purpose. Living in our purpose allows us to become the most fulfilled, enlightened and prosperous version of ourselves. How do we know what our purpose is? What can we look for in our lives as evidence to point us towards the purpose we need to fulfill? My message will provide practical tools to help people understand how they can find their purpose and start their journey to working in it.

Kerri Speyers - "Fear"

The definition of Hell:- When you get to the end of your life and come face to face with the person you could have been, if only FEAR hadn't held you back. Where is fear holding you back? Where are you living small?

Thomas Krafft - "Hercules "

On a sand bank on Stradbroke lays a shipwreck. Forgotten, unmarked but fascinating. Without it, Brisbane would not be thee city we know today and it's story is colourful and complex.
