Connect and Inspire Through Storytelling

Membership and New Club Development Month in August is an ideal time to focus on creating a meaningful club experience. One step toward this is by getting to know your members better. And you can do that by sharing your Rotary story and listening to theirs. Sharing our stories creates bridges between our own experiences and those of others. It helps us find connections, empathize with other people’s circumstances, and understand and appreciate different perspectives.

Speaker for Tues 16th Meeting

Kendall Morton - Home Care Assistance Sunshine Coast

I have had so many jobs! My first proper job was working in a Jewellery Store over the Christmas holidays and I loved every minute of it. After that, I was a Checkout Chick for Woolies and loved that too. After leaving school I completed a Bachelor of Education and worked as a Primary School teacher. I think the reality of life these days is that we won’t necessarily stick to one job or career and flexibility and resilience will be very important traits for success.
