Another stellar line up of speakers were ready to engage and inspire the 350 strong youth present to excel in their future life goals on day three.
Wauchope born, Imagineer Nixi Killick has been all over the world but her challenge to the delegates was to be their own maverick hybrid.
“Chase a variety of ideas, be bold and dive in and harness positivity,” Nixi said.
“We have the responsibility to dream the world away and we all have to create our own paths.”
Benny Owen’s talk on ‘dreaming with your eyes open’ challenged the crowd to think about their fears and asked if it were possible to change your fears.
“We all posses the ability to change our perception of fear,” Mr Owen said.
“But breaking down your fear and simplifying it you can break down the fear itself.
“I am scared of sharks but what I am actually scared of is a shark bite – what would that shark do if we swam side by side.
“When babies are learning to walk they aren’t afraid of falling down, yes they fall but they get right back up again because they aren’t afraid.”
On day three there were also another round of masterclasses for delegates to take part in from learning about strategic questioning, how to run a successful business and actually being able to pitch ideas for a cash prize of up to $10,000.
The Pitch Project masterclass was inspired by the hit television show Shark Tank and allowed young people the chance to pitch their business or idea to a panel of experts who gave them advice, said co-founder and chair Kate Wood-Foye.
“When the idea for The Pitch Project came about we were all really excited to be able to give young people the chance to pitch their ideas to an expert panel,” Ms Wood-Foye said.
“Inspired by the Shark Tank theme we hope those who pitched and sat in on the masterclass are able to learn something they can carry with them.”
The winners of project won’t be known for a few more weeks.
