Jeff A.D. Martin
We are thrilled to partner with the Chilliwack School District to bring Jeff A.D. Martin to our community on Wednesday, October 2 at 6:30pm at the NLC in the Learning Collab Space (46361 Yale Rd, Chilliwack).
Throughout the week, Jeff will be inspiring staff, principals, and students across the district and now it’s your turn, parents! This is a rare and powerful opportunity for our whole school community to hear the same message, setting the tone for a connected, impactful year ahead.
About Jeff A.D. Martin
Jeff is a soul-stirring, thought-provoking, and highly sought-after transformational speaker who has captivated audiences across the world. His talks ignite reflection, challenge outdated perspectives, and spark lasting change.
Why Parents Should Come
We all know the world our kids are growing up in looks very different from the one we grew up in. Some of the “rules” we learned as children no longer fit today’s reality. Jeff will guide us in rethinking old patterns, leaving behind what no longer serves, and preparing our children to thrive in the world of tomorrow.
Evening Details
Join us for a delicious dinner at 6:30pm, followed by Jeff’s uplifting and motivational presentation. This is free for SD33 parents and caregivers! Plus there will be amazing door prizes from the Cultus Lake Golf Club!
