About
Kayla is an educational speaker for hire in Palm Beach, QLD.
Kayla speaks to young people about identity, and about finding meaning in the hard parts of a life rather than pretending they didn't happen. The core of it is turning pain into power, and why a strong sense of self matters so much for the adult years ahead. There's no script and no slide deck. She wants it to feel like a real conversation, not a performance, and not someone reciting statistics at a hall full of teenagers. Expect heavy subjects handled honestly, then a joke at the right moment to lift the room again. Topics include building a sense of self, resilience, wellbeing and stress. The setup is about as simple as it gets: a whiteboard, if there's one handy, for the group discussion.
The show
Heavy subjects handled honestly, with laughs threaded through so the room doesn't sink. Kayla draws on her own life to get the ideas across, and she describes her style as authentic and vulnerable. There's no script and no slide deck. She wants it to feel like a genuine conversation rather than a performance or a recital of statistics. Topics she can speak to include building a strong sense of self and self awareness, how social media shapes self worth, group identity against individual identity, perfectionism, shame, self compassion, resilience, finding meaning in difficulty, and unhealthy coping. Content is pitched to the age group you're bringing her in for.
On the day
About as uncomplicated as a booking gets. The only thing Kayla might ask for is a whiteboard, which she uses to work through the group discussion visually. No projector, no cables, no tech run through.
