Setup Checklist

Please arrange for the following:
  • Either lapel mic (preferred), or cordless microphone - for Daniel to speak from. 
  • A second cordless roaming microphone for audience interaction (applicable to large audiences - > 150 students). A teacher will be assigned to manage this during the session. 
  • Lectern
  • Table set to the side, next to the lectern, with a bottle of water.
  • For full day program delivery, Daniel’s lunch usually consists of a light wrap, salad and fruit. This is available within most school canteens. If not available within your school canteen, please let us know and an alternative can be arranged. 
  • ​Digital projector and screen with video and audio capability (for music and videos). A headphone jack will be required to be plugged into Daniel's laptop / or iPhone.
  • HDMI or VGA capability (Daniel will bring his Macbook Air to run the presentation).
  • Dimmed lighting is preferred for optimal experience and slideshow and video display.
  • The preferred seating style is theatre style on chairs (not floor), with a walkway in the middle.  
  • Daniel will introduce himself to students when sharing his story during his opening so no formal introduction is required. As a segway to being given the microphone to start, the lead staff member can share why the school has organised the program, what they hope students will gain, and behavioural expectations, and then “Please welcome Daniel.”
  • Unless advised not to by the school, Daniel will arrange for this session to be photographed and video recorded (using his smartphone), with the understanding that the school has ensured all attending students have obtained media permission from their parent/guardian. Daniel would appreciate if the school organises a designated photographer (staff member / student) to capture moments from the session, including candid audience shots and a group shot at the end. Smartphone images are sufficient. 
  • If possible and time permits, Daniel would also appreciate receiving very short video testimonials from preselected students and staff member(s) - to be taken immediately after the session using Daniel’s smartphone.
  • Audio and video recording of the session is not allowed. Thank you for respecting Daniel’s intellectual property.
  • Printed student workbooks placed on chairs (prior to commencement - see below)

Student Workbook

You would have received via email the PDF student workbook that accompanies this program - an important part of delivery and student engagement. 

​A couple of things to note in relation to the program and workbook:
  • For printing, please print on A4 - double sided.
  • Please ensure students bring pens to write, and a book to lean on for writing ease and comfort.
  • Before students enter the room, please arrange for the workbooks to be already placed on the chairs, so once they arrive, the session can be commenced immediately (maximising delivery time). Daniel can also assist in placing the workbooks on chairs prior to start while setting up and waiting. 
  • Students will be asked to complete various exercises during the session. While there will not be enough time to complete every exercise in the workbook, the workbook has been designed so students can independently (with the support of trusted adult) complete their Game Plan and execute. It is their personal resource for focus, guidance and future reference.
  • Every student Game Plan will be different as every student is different and unique and at different stages. Daniel will be facilitating and guiding students to create the best fit for where they are at and where they aspire to be.
  • To ensure maximum effectiveness, Daniel encourages teacher and parent follow-up with students and their Game Plan. It’s important that students receive guidance and mentorship along their journey towards personal success. This is key.
