Careers Motivational Seminar
How to choose the career of your dreams, so that you can live the life that you desire.

No minimum and no maximum amount of students.
Duration: 55 minutes.
Great for whole year levels especially VCE Students.

Sacha holds a very educating but entertaining session for young people to have a look at where they want to go in life and get them to ask themselves, "What do I really want to do when I start my career?" And most importantly, "How can I be paid well for what I love doing the most."

Sacha shares lots of stories and experiences from her own life. Of how she invented her own career and always followed her dreams. Most of all Sacha asks them to look outside the square and look at their lives. She makes them delve inside and ask themselves, "How can I perhaps invent my own career?" Sacha also shows them how it can be done, with clear examples of how other people have been there and done that.

So many students have no direction, but it does not mean that they are lacking in talent in specific areas. Sometimes all it takes is someone to show them the way and tell them that it is all possible. "I show them that their only limitations is their imagination!" says Sacha. Giving them a goal to work towards and teaching them that life is meant to be fun!

This program can be done with just girls, boys or a mixed group.

 

Body Image
It's all about who we are on the inside not the outside

"It's a piece of cake to have a positive body image of yourself" ..... NOT!!!

It's so hard for girls to have a positive body image of themselves when society is almost forcing them to always feel like they are not good enough. Whether it's the media, our friends, the shops we purchase our clothes in or the fact our mothers are on a diet. Girls almost need to fight to say "it's okay to be me"!

Sacha runs either a one hour seminar or a one day workshop with female students discussing BODY IMAGE.

Sacha says: Most of the time when we think of body image we automatically think of our weight, but it's so much more than that. It's how we feel about ourselves and the way we portray ourselves to the world.

Sacha fully understands girl's body image issues and she talks to students about how to feel good about yourself, it's got nothing to do with what you look like. We are so much more than the person we are on the outside.

With her fun, entertaining, inspirational, real and down to earth manner, during her presentation you will not only connect with Sacha but all the females in the room will instantly bond together.

1 day workshops on Confidence Building for boys is also available.

 


Mother and Daughter Programs - Sacha Kaluri and Sonya Karras

We have now come together to run mother and daughter nights. A night full of bonding and girlie talks! This seminar will transform they way students connect with their mothers.

Sacha and Sonya look into: The relationship you have with yourself- it's always important to love yourself more than anyone else. The relationship you have with your friends- it's just as important to be a good friend as to have supportive people around you. Finally the very important relationship we have with our mothers- that can often fall apart in their teenage years.

This is an event that should be held in all schools.

 


Keynote Speech: Stress Management for Girls
How to Survive Year 11 and 12 with Relying on Caffeine and Chocolate

Duration: 50 minutes.

Why is this presentation only for girls? Well girls and boys think differently, they "STRESS OUT" over different things! Sacha Kaluri has spent so much of her life "Stressing Out" over school, work, money, relationships, image and a million more things. Sacha believes in order to give a keynote speech; you need to be an expert on the topic. Well she is a girl, which has spent years trying to figure out how to control her stressful life and thoughts, while leading a very full and packed in life (that some people would say is stressful). Once she finally learnt how juggle and organise her life with all its stresses, she wanted to save all the girls out there from going through the same things. Sacha has spent hours and hours developing strategies for young girls, on how to combat stress and now its time to pass on the information. They are not clinical strategies (this is certainly not a boring death by Power Point Presentation) these are real life things that your students can take away with them and implement straight away.

Through audience interaction, stories, strategies, comedy and entertainment, Sacha teaches girls how to deal with all the "stuff" that gets handed to you while doing your senior years at school.

Sacha says, "Stress is a normal part of life, its not what life hands you, its how you deal with it. Let's teach these girls the easiest way to deal with stress"!

Sacha Kaluri has been referred to as one of Australia's Leading Youth Careers Ambassadors and the most Real and Down to Earth Youth Motivational Speaker. Sacha ACTIVATES young people to open the path, to make the first step in their career. She gets them EXCITED about loving the choices that are possible. Then INSPIRING students to making a choice and MOTIVATING them to do the research and all that it takes to get them to where they want to be. Sacha gives young people CONFIDENCE to make their own choices!

 


Girls Making Self Esteem
Minimum of 6 girls, maximum of 20 girls.
Duration: 2 hours.

When females sit around a table and create, they share their stories. That is the concept of this program. Sacha teaches the girls how to make their own natural Aromatherapy skin care (a face exfoliant & clay mud mask), then they all give each other a facial whilst being served Mocktails (non-Alcoholic Cocktails) and being pampered. Its during this time Sacha leads the conversation towards, self esteem, self worth, self nurturing, confidence, peer group pressure, parents, relationships and all the things girls need to talk about. It is a great bonding session and works very well! This is a fun session whilst being insightful.

 


Making Changes and Feeling Good
Minimum of 6 students or teachers, maximum of 20.
Duration: 2 hours.

This program is designed for males and females of all ages including students and teachers. Through group discussion led by Sacha, questions such as, "What makes you happy? What makes you sad? What's working well and what's not going so well?" are talked about. Then she explores how to bring more of the stuff that's going great in ones life and how to remove the bad stuff. A commitment is reached with the participants to bring easy changes into their lives within the next three days to a week. This is a very fun and entertaining process, yet can be very serious. Simple mapping techniques are used whilst using lots of big paper and coloured pencils.

 


Who am I and who do I want to be? Design your LIFE!
Approximately up to 20 students per group.
Duration: 2 hours.
Especially designed for VCAL students or those students that need that extra special attention, self esteem boost and goal setting ideas.

One of the top key points to setting goals is visualizing what is that you want. Rather than writing down goals, this fun activity is where the students get to put it all out on a big poster that they can clearly see. The more they see it in their mind, the more chance they have of it all coming together, to make it happen. Students get to put clippings from magazines, newspapers, photos, positive quotes and goals on a big poster. They have their first real chance to design their life in a fun and creative way. The purpose of having Sacha Kaluri run this session is, she is already an innovative thinker, she gets students to think in ways that they would never have even thought was possible, she has high energy, a down to earth nature, extensive experience and innate ability to relate with young people. Sacha connects with young people encourages them and gets them look at what is possible even if the stakes are down.

Sacha also puts big questions to the group for discussion while they are creating.

  • If I could design my own life, how would I design it?
  • What have I already learnt about self esteem?
  • What qualities do I like in myself?
  • What qualities do I see in others that I don't like and sometimes see them in myself?
  • Who do I want to become?
  • Who am I now and what are my values? And many more questions.

This 2 hour session is a real chance for students to delve into themselves and ask themselves, who am I now, and who do I want to become?

 


Aromatherapy Sessions
Minimum 6, maximum 30 students.
Duration: 1 hour.
Suitable for all year levels.

Do you ever just want to teach your students something new? Do you ever have health week and want to introduce your students to ways that they can take care of themselves naturally? Well here is the answer! At the end of this session your students will have enough information about basic Aromatherapy. They will learn about it, interesting historical facts, how to use it in their daily lives, e.g. relaxation, hygiene, pimples etc. and how to keep their surroundings perfumed. At the end of the session each student will have the chance to use their favourite essential oils to make their own bath salts to take home. A very fun and informative session, introducing students into new and exciting fields.

 


Dealing with Bullying/Cyber Bullying
How to Become Resilient (We all have the right to feel safe)

Minimum 6, maximum 30 students, or sessions can be held for a whole year level.
Duration: 2 hours.
Suitable for all year levels.

Bullying is identifiable by all ages in all areas, thus this is a program applicable for everybody; males, females, all year levels, students and teachers. Everyone sometime in their lives has felt the humiliation of bullying. This very interesting and essential program covers topics such as:

  • How to identify a bully, in real life or the internet
  • Different bullying tactics and how to combat them
  • What is happening on the internet and how to behave
  • The laws, rules and regulations as to what the consequences are to what is going on with the internet/social networking sites/mobile phone.
  • How to recognise and deal with bullies and why people actually bully people.
  • Real strategies on what to do if it’s happening to you.

It is a very interactive program and lots of group discussion is stimulated. There are many varied activities to encourage the participants to become involved. The most important factor covered is the ability to deal with the bulling itself. Seminars are also offered to teachers as to how to deal with the bullying/cyber bullying going on within the school and what to follow up with for students after the program/activities that can be done in classes after the session.

 


Leadership
Especially recommended for VCAL students

What makes a leader? How does a leader communicate? Is it all about the talking or do we need to know how to listen too? With lots of fun activities we are able to answer these questions.

The qualities that we will discuss will be effective strategies students will take with them their whole way through life. There is also many fun activities that students get to interact with. It's often the light bulb moment that they look at themselves and ask themselves about the own leadership qualities.

 


Teamwork
Especially recommended for VCAL students

This is one of the most interesting aspects of all the programs. The better students know each other the more effective they will work together. This is about building a team and respecting each person in it. We want to ensure that they all look after each other and not just individuals. Success is meant for all not for just one. The students will have so much fun revealing who they are and getting to know their team mates. With lots of games and activities this is always the most popular for students.

The more students open up and discuss their qualities, what they can offer and bring to the group the closer they will become.
