Andrew Horabin (class of 91)
|
Andrew Horabin has been a professional speaker for fifteen years, starting at age 18. He is a keynote speaker, trainer, facilitator, MC, comedian and award-winning singer/songwriter. High School. Debating. Drama.
Every story has a hundred beginnings, so here’s one: I joined the debating team at Carine SHS in Year 8. That was a turning point. That was twenty years ago. I was a lousy debater at first but I persisted and in Year 11 and 12 our school won the WADL Debating State Final. And I was hooked on speaking. In Year 12, my teachers entered me in the Australia-Britain Society’s “Plain English Speaking Award” and I was lucky enough to win the State Final in Perth and then the National Final in Melbourne. (My topic was “Communication”. I didn’t know it would become my life!). Also in Year 12, I took Theatre Arts with Sheree Marshall and developed some drama skills, including a bit of writing. We’re still friends to this day. Visit Andrew's Web Page http://www.andrewhorabin.com/
