I help students shift their mindsets, build mental resilience, and develop the tools to thrive.

Empower young minds to think differently

•

Empower young minds to think differently •

Help them tackle today’s challenges head-on.

Young people today are facing a never-ending stream of challenges. Anxiety levels are at an all-time high, technology has a tight grip on all of us, and it feels like the world can change in the blink of an eye.

For educators, parents, and even peers, it’s painful to watch. 

But as someone who has recently stood where your students are now, I’m here to tell you this: to set themselves up for future success, they need to start thinking differently now. 

Are your students…

Struggling to thrive because of anxiety?

Addicted to their phones and social media?

Lacking the mental resilience to cope with change?

The solution:

They need a robust mental toolkit to help them succeed, both throughout school and well into the future. 

…and that’s where I come in.

Meet Paris McNeil

Hi, I’m Paris!

Through engaging and down-to-earth guest speaking, I empower students with the skills to face complex modern issues.

As a Gen Z , I grew up just like your students. I understand the pressures of being chronically online, surrounded by technology, and steeped with anxiety. I’ve lived it, but I’ve carved out a different path for myself by forming resilient coping mechanisms.

I’m passionate about giving students the resources they need to do the same. I work with young people across Australia to build confidence, harness their anxiety, and make an impact.

Praise for Paris McNeil  

  • I wanted to share my positive experience with Paris's leadership training. It was engaging, educational, and well presented. The Young Leaders came out of the session feeling confident and excited with their new leadership skills. Paris's enthusiasm and kindness made the session enjoyable, and her approach was both informative and practical.

  • Thank you, Paris for provoking thought and sharing insights with our Year 6 cohort. We were delighted to host you at the College.

    Deputy Principal – Coomera Anglican College

  • Paris really set us up for the afternoon and it was great to see the students put her tips into practice in the activities later on in the afternoon. Paris spoke well so that our Year 7 students could really understand and grasp the concepts she was putting forward. It was great to see her have a laugh and rapport with them. The students continued to use terms such as: active listening, empathy and leading by example. This was down to Paris and her delivery!

    Head of Year 7 - Prendiville Catholic College

  • Paris was a wonderful speaker who gave so much insight from her own personal experience transitioning from university to the work life. I found a lot of relevance to her experiences and the ways she’s dealt with the feeling of imposter syndrome, this talk has been incredibly beneficial.
