Took my 13 yr old. So helpful. We had to pull over on the way home for some amazing chats. She'd been going through so much and I was worried sick but this opened a beautiful dialogue between the two of us. Can't recommend enough.

Insistent impact! As our daughter was discussing the depression strategy, as we left the building.
Found a lot of value in the topics that were discussed, helpful for both daughter and parents.
Planning on attending future events when you’re back in Townsville.

“I didn’t know that when I brought my 14 year old daughter to Savage Angels, that my inner wounded 14 year old self would get so much out of it.
You’re speaking not just to the current generation of girls, but to the girls past, present and future. As I’m now over 40 I certainly didn’t expect to be impacted as much as I was.
On behalf of my 14 year old daughter, and my 14 year old inner self, thank you.”

Thank you so much for an amazing event last night! My girls (12 & 11) and I really enjoyed it. I believe that we can use your strategies to help alleviate some of the pressures of high school and bullying and I am really hopeful that it will be a success ❤️
You have an amazing ability to speak to people (even if your mind is distracted by a passing bird 😜) and the words you speak have a lot of volume 😍
Thank you again, we highly recommend and hope you’ll be back in Penrith again soon 🥰

Rev, you have such a positive impact on your audience, your words and presentation is like the turning point for so many effective, passionate, real and from the heart it just hits home.
Your words have stayed with us ever since we saw you.
We are grateful that you offer these events and share your experience and commonsense to our teens and us parents ❤️
Shelle Bardy
You are so deserving of acknowledgment Rev.
I brought my son to your boys event in Melbourne (he's 14). Since then he's saved $$$$, bought himself a dirt bike and now so driven and striving for his next purchase.
I then brought along my daughter to your girls event and she was so anti about coming but left saying "omg that was amazing". She came home and talked to her brother about you and they often reference your talks.
We will definitely come again the next time you're in Melbourne.Have the best day, keep loving life and thank you for helping my teens.

Hey Rev we met at your Auckland talk and with my girl straight afterwards we had open conversations about a lot of things.
My hubby who couldn't attend noticed a fabulous turn around in asking us mum n dad how our days were and being present while we spent time together as our family unit.
Loved your talk and will recommend you to anyone with boys or girls and parents navigating their ways through life.
Thanks for the Tuff love I agree with you every single time!! You're awesome and are doing amazing work keep it up as we need you

Remarkable! An amazing night, so much passion, raw and real life.
Highly recommend

Thank you so much for tonight.
We are grandparents who have had custody of our now 12yr old for the past two years.
Your session has touched on so much of what we have gone through and I feel this will improve our relationship immensely.
Megs and Rohan
Thank so much for doing what you do rev. Last Thursday night was an eye opener for my husband & i to say the least.
We can now see a few key areas where we’ve allowed our authority & respect to be worn down. Not being prepared to pay the price that consistency requires (as you say) is the biggest reason for the situation we are currently experiencing.
We have both been guilty of this in different ways and have been paying the price for it. But that’s changing as of yesterday. What will make this a little easier is that our daughter is on board. She actually thanked us for bringing her & apologised for her nasty text msgs beforehand. See actually took more notes on her phone than me on the night.
We know it’s going to be a long road ahead but how it’s been is not an option we will allow to continue.
Simone Brown
Thankyou, my daughter who didn't want to attend lol left feeling empowered and more knowledgeable with insight and strategies to face the future, both of us.
We both loved the raw natural and open honesty of you and the group. It has been a great conversation starter and my daughter and I connected on a more deeper level, I thank you so much for this for it's priceless!
She said to me afterwards "| couldn't believe you put your hand up mum to feeling like Your a failure sometimes as a parent, you are not your the best mum and I love you"
Thankyou again
Lorraine and Kayla B
My daughter and I talked about strategies the whole way home. She has decided to implement them when she is not being treated nicely by so called friends at school.
Kayla (11) said that going to your event gave her a better understanding of things than before. I also learned a lot and have been more present when at home and on my phone less, trying to model better behaviour for my girls.
Thanks for being truly inspiring and we would definitely come to an event again when you're next down this way.
Trudy Ablert
Great event!!
As a single mum with a 15 year old daughter – I do know that I am pretty lucky with the girl I have. So far, we have the most amazing relationship and friendship and I know she respects me.
We both took a lot away from the event and we were both really happy to have come along.
My daughter is currently working on her ‘dream strategy’ and we have talked about mentors.
Great event – both of us have been spreading the word about how great it was.
Thank you!!
Mel
Thankyou so much for doing what you do! As we were getting in the car after your talk, I was thinking about how to bring up certain topics to my daughter. Well I didn't have too, She burst into tears of relief and hope. She resonated with so much of what you said and saw how she could overcome certain challenges. We followed the strategy plans and wrote down her dreams, and her small, medium and large things to plan and look forward too. Unbelievably, not one but TWO mentors have come into her life this past month, one a complete stranger we met on our dog walk! Both have offered so much time and their own life skills to educate my daughter in her dreams and goals as well as boost her self esteem and confidence. She admires, and respects both women which helps hold her accountable and responsible for her goals. I highly recommend Rev to all of those with teenage daughters (or sons) to come and hear him speak. Although my daughter and I have a great relationship, the age brings so many new feelings, fears and worries, for both of us, but Rev has helped us to take control, plan and focus on the facts, not the doubts and worries!

Hi Rev,
I was really glad to have been able to attend your worksop recently. You are really relatable and your story is so inspiring.
As a parent I took a lot from your template of adopting a strategy and implementing the steps involved - especially attaching a value and getting someone to hold me to account.
I also appreciate the time you took at the end to answer questions for the audience and to give me a human hug which I needed as my son was the one who would not attend.
All the best for the rest of your shows

I saw an ad on Facebook for an upcoming event in Newcastle & felt to write this.
I attended this a few years ago with my daughter. I didn’t think I’d even get her to attend It was truly amazing. We got so much out of it, but completely different things than each other.
It opened the door to so many conversations not only that night but in the days and weeks that followed.
Highly recommend.
Tegan Crawford and Lilly
Thank you for your kindness and time to come to Mareeba and talk to the community ), the event was a big success. What our family got out of this was the ability to reinforce the basic skills and respect can get you a long way in life.
It brought me a lot of mixed emotions, that I had to deal with and face up to and shape the future for my daughter. And gave me the encouragement to make changes.
Anita M
I took my girls to this tonight and the boys to Motov8 last night. They were both awesome!
The girls were really moved with the speakers and felt sad for how much they have struggled through life to get the where they are now. A little eye opener for what other families deal with and how bullying and lack of self worth affects peoples lives.
For parents, Rev gave some golden tips on how to deal with conflict, tough conversations, when to stop nagging (and so much more!) and most importantly how to be Savage Angels and Motivated Men!
Highly recommend !

Hi Rev, my 2 daughters and I attended your Broadbeach Gold Coast event and WOW... what a fantastic event it was. I personally thought it was exactly the breath of fresh air that my family needed to hear (not just from me for a change!) My youngest (12) was the main reason why I felt that the program could benefit from the most, but I truly believe that all three of us have really gained so much insight of each other just from attending your event. So thank you so much for all your hard work, time, dedication, determination and absolute unwavering commitment to the wonderful work that you and your marvellous team do - to help us have more Peace, Respect and Contribution in our daily lives with each-other much love to you from Leonie, Jasmine & Emily. I would definitely highly recommend this event to any parent who needs to "hear and feel" the sound of fresh air moving through their soul.
Craig, Jamie and Harmarnee
We thoroughly enjoyed the event, it put perspective and onus of our actions and accountability on owning our thoughts and values of ourselves. After speaking with our daughter and revisiting what was spoken about, what we can extract from the experience and how we will implement it, this was the core of our interpretation and experience1. OWNERSHIP - of our actions - of our thoughts of ourselves - of our enabling others opinions, thoughts, judgements to derail us. 2. PEACE - To ourselves, stop speaking negatively to ourselves and letting those thoughts be the front runner. Negative thoughts will pop in to interfere - thats okay and normal- but letting them reign is not. - to our home. If I want peace I must contribute to that. Big one for the grumpy teen in the morning . No more excuses, find ways to keep the peace we ALL want 3. RESPECT - ourselves with our thoughts - each other, especially the ones closest to us - learning to dismiss the unkind words of those who don't even respect themselves and what value those words even hold. We had a great night, it was engaging the whole presentation and we are very appreciative that these events can be offered to the community - it is imperative in the world we live in today.
Natalie Dudley
I found the event to be great and the opportunity for Hope to assist with showing others in was a great opportunity for her and really helped her to do something she would not normally do.
Hope is on the spectrum (ASD2) and I was amazed at how she stepped up and also willingly put her hand up to answer questions - this is not typical for Hope.
I really liked to section on what parents want (peace, respect and contribution) and also the 3 things to look forward to (now, medium term and long term). These two have been things that we have already started to chat about.
Thanks again for a great and valuable night.

As a parent of a 14yo girl I thought it was fantastic. I got so much out of it but one of the best things was seeing that all the other parents are going through the same things.
I am not the only parent that lives with a princess who can turn into a fire breathing dragon at the drop of a hat.
The princess is still processing the night as lots of your messages cut very close to the bone.
I really appreciated your direct and honest approach…no mincing of words…making the girls aware of how their behaviour affects family life.
How some simple actions can help them navigate school and home.
Claire Parker
This night meant so much to me and my daughter. To see other girls similar ages to her that have also been bullied verbally and cyber!
Called hurtful names and made to feel worthless! I think it was good that you involved the audience if they wanted to share anything. It was real and I only wish my husband was able to attend. You hit the nail on the head about everything.
It felt like I was getting my 13yr old back. I look forward to the boys one next.
Please keep spreading your message - you are changing and saving lives.
Ngahirata Williams
Straight up the guts..... helped me and my daughter learn about each other all the best to those who attend
Daniel Mataeo
This is the first time my daughter has ever attended a personal development seminar and I think she was pleasantly surprised by it.
Her biggest take away from what we have discussed, " There are good men in the world." She was referring to you. Since then I have noticed she has opened up a wee bit more, has become more engaging at home and enjoying her drama class at school.
Thank you for showing our girls there are fathers who do love their daughters and who want to help others too.
Michelle & Lily Ponton
Thank you for coming to Shepparton, everything you said we could both relate to and some things really hit home with my daughter Lily. You gave her the tools to help her begin to overcome her daily struggles at school but you also helped me understand my daughter on a different level and how harmful negativity can be, no matter where it comes from. Thank you again.
Stevie 10yrs old
Wow what a night! I not only took away tips for becoming a better, more understanding mum, but also took a lot away that I can use for myself, my anxiety and my self-esteem. Stevie was struggling at school socially which led to struggles with her own mental health. She has come away from the night feeling so passionate about not needing to please those not so nice friends and that being on her own at break times is not as bad as being with mean people. Being 1 of the ushers, helped boost her confidence with meeting new people. Giving Stevie the opportunity to speak about her head shaving and fundraising at the end of the night was also a real confidence boost and having so many girls and parents come and acknowledge her for this and to say hi, made her realise that there are some really awesome people around, it made her feel very loved. Thank you Rev, we will be back next year!Bec Wilson (mum of Stevie) I LOVED it, and when i say LOVED i mean it! Rev has helped me and my mum become better at understanding each other! I have started standing up for my self more at school. I feel happier at school and have recently started think ''hey maybe it's not that bad being at school on my own, it's better than being with fake friends who gossip about me behind my back and are mean to my face", and Rev has helped me to realise that I don't need to put up with crap anymore. Rev helped me with my self-esteem and that I am worth more. I loved being part of the opening and meeting all the Savage Angels walking through the door. Thank you so much!
