SOME EXAMPLE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING UPDATES/INFORMATION:

Feb　9th and 12th:　‘GEN7 Messengers’. The partnership with the Esteem Team and the Aboriginal Sport Circle has created the Gen7 Messengers. We talked, acted, role played, played a couple of games and got to understand how to approach different situations. I can’t wait to go back for our visit on Feb 26th!

Feb　3rd:　Speaker - Sask Youth Summit’ -Saskatoon, SK. The symposium was a gathering of 450 youth 19-30yrs of age and 150 government and business leaders from across the province of SK. Their aim was to empower celebration and change for the province. As the last speaker, I talked for 15min about the need for each individual to be efficient with their own internal energy and to reflect on the who they are. My opinion was to collectively do so with consideration of the environment and that it would then be easier to affect positive provincial change. Ultimately, this would further retain youth and make the communities and the province of SK stand out.

Nov 2nd:        Keynote Speaker - ‘Dream Brokers’ - kick off event - Regina, SK. It was important to me to deliver the presentation to the actual students from the north east Regina schools that will be involved. To be the keynote speaker kicking off a program that will help some of these kids better access the arts, cultural, sport and recreation programming available will allways be cherished by me. They will reach for their dreams!

Sept　27th:　Keynote Speaker - Building Bridges through Aboriginal Sport Conference, Saskatoon, SK. It was an honour to be the keynote speaker at the conference and to see how Saskatchewan has their act together concerning Aboriginal sport. If some of the other provinces followed their example, our athletes and future in sport would be better off.

June　1-3rd:  ‘NWT T&F School Championships. During the 3 days at the 2006 NWT Track and Field School Championships I was able to meet Sharon Firth of the famous First Sisters who dominated the world in X-C Skiing.

Apr 10-13th:　‘The Fort McMurray, Fort Mckay and Anzac Tour’ Ft Mac... It was a very nerve racking event to be able to speak in front of my Granny, uncle and father. Each of them were at different presentations but it made me really think about how things could be taken from a different point of view. I hear stories of how proud they are and can see it in in their eyes but it still is something hard for me to acknowledge. Having gone to school in Fort Mac in Grade 4 and Grade 12, I was able to go back to these schools and give some motivational presentations that had some fantastic comments and reviews. These are also hard for me to accept as I wish I could do more and believe that I should be able to refine my public speaking skills even more in the future. All told it has been 40 presentations over the past month but now I am into full time training mode and without time to spare as my next race, the Canadian marathon championships is the Ottawa Marathon May 28th. (Finished 2nd) Again, thank you to all those youth, teachers and relatives in Fort McMurray. I can’t begin to even come close to showing you just how much it means to have been able to share a bit of my life with you. Thanks and as my Gran would say, ‘I’m just a small person’ and as I can see that my Gran is able to carry our whole family in her heart, I will have you all in my heart.

Mar 29:            Exshaw, AB. It was an honour to be able to share some stories in Exshaw. I believe that out of the entire school only four or so are non-Aboriginal.

Mar 14:　 　'From Morley back to Banff’. The travelling over the past has been quite a ride. Sometimes when you are just making it to the airport in time for your flight, it still takes a little bit of time for the built up energy to subside as you finally accept that your going to make it. Many of the youth that I have talked to such as the amazing group in Morley bring to the table this energy that to some might seem overwhelming. I can see that it is that surface energy and that is has potential.It was great to be able to stop in to one of the closest Aboriginal communities to Banff and talk to the students there.

Mar 10:　 　'Yellowknifing Life’ - A day in Yellowknife NWT. Doing my tour up north and being able to spend a day in Yellowknife NWT, I find myself connecting to the spirits behind those eyes of all the people that I have met over the last month. As I run on the streets here in Yellowknife, I feel an emotional wave fill me from within. I think that it is because of a deep connection to the Loutitt family and the fact that my Dad Paul Loutitt lived here and refered to it as a sacred place for him. I can feel the same feeling. I wonder if he ever gave it a thought when he was up here playing Jr. hockey that his son would be up here talking to kids about reaching for their goals and inspiring them. It almost makes me want to cry at the power behind letting him know that despite his obstacles, I love him more than this world can allow and he has made this possible. I wish a part of me could go back in time and say to him as he was here on these Yellowknife streets that despite any hurt or any pain, he will always be a part of my journey. Mr Rob Meckling with Sport North up here has been a great support in my speaking tour and is looking at getting me back up here right after the Canadian marathon Championships in Ottawa May 28th. I will be doing everything in my power to hopefully come back as the 2006 Canadian Marathon Champion. After all, I’ll have thousands of kids running with me and also a bit of my younger and healed father in each and every step.

Mar 8th:　 　‘Returning home/ Returning north’ - Speaking in Fort Simpson NWT
I am currently up in NWT taking part in a conference in Fort Simpson. It is incredible to see the sunsets again and with being able to run 2-3hrs outside of the speaking, I am finding a return to my youth in Uranium City.

Mar 1rst:　 　‘National Role Model Training’ - Ottawa., ON. For four day , I was gratefully invited to be a part of the National Aboriginal Role Model program. It was an honour to meet the amazing future role models involved. They have so much heart and to be among them is indeed inspiring. Our first day had us in a cultural space and with the drumming circle, I was able to share some of the singing that I do when I am running.
