Motov8ing Boys is an event for boys aged 11-17 and their parents unlike anything you've ever been to as a family, we hope you'll join us.

Motov8ing Boys is an inspirational and hard hitting presentation will get your sons attention and teach him how to make smarter more informed decisions on a daily basis. It will also equip him and you the parents with a unique and personal blueprint to create strategies for lasting change in your lives.

This event is for Boys aged 11-17 and their parents, step parents, foster parents and or their primary caregivers. The goal is to help them to understand the power of a positive attitude, how to develop competnece & confidence, how to change destructive behaviour, how to identify personal potential & understand the importance of self-respect & respecting others, especially their parents.

Do you feel like you are losing your son to his bedroom, his phone or his attitude?

Does he shut down the second you try to talk to him?

Are you tired of the same fight, the same silence, the same slammed door with no idea how to break the cycle?

If you answered yes to any of these, it's time you met John McMahon.

WHY THIS EVENT - WHY MOTOV8ING BOYS?

As parents it is our role to guide and advise our sons but it's for that exact reason they often don't want to listen. Sometimes the same message communicated in a different way and by a different person, is all that's needed to start to turn things around.

This event gives parents the opportunity to expose their sons to real advice about life in terms of when the 'rubber hits the road'. John engages young males through the use of motorcycles & draws from his years of rider experience to help them to navigate the twists, turns & obstacles that inevitably come across on the ride of life. This event is about much more than motorcycles so even if that's not you or your sons thing there's still a lot of value to be taken away from it.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS EVENT

Brad & Morgan Thomas We went to the Gold Coast event feeling like we were on our own going through this parenting journey that is raising boys aged 12 and 15. We soon relaised that we were not alone in our pain and frustration. Rev had this way of cutting through games our boys play with us to manipulate things to serve themsleves. We walked away with some very confronting truths to face and embrace. Our boys walked away with some clear areas to improve on and some very strategic answers to excuses and objections they hide behind.

Hayley & Hunter Motov8 and Rev absolutely nailed it at the boys' event in Toowoomba! I went along with my 12-year-old son and his friend, and they were hooked from the get-go. Rev’s hard-hitting, raw truth style - mixed with powerful metaphors about life and motorbikes - really landed with them. They were so engaged they didn’t want to leave at the end and were both keen to chat with Rev afterwards. It’s not often you see two young boys hang off every word like that! Highly recommend for anyone raising boys who need strong, real, and relatable role models.

Claire Kelly A friend suggested it and I just had that immediate gut feeling, that we had to take our boys. So, with real effort we dragged 3 tired boys out, not really knowing what to expect. It was great! When we got in the car afterwards, one of them said: "Now that was surprisingly good, I actually really enjoyed it"; and the other 2 agreed. Win! Thank you Rev! We will def be interested in further workshops.

Seona Maybery My boy really didn't want to go to the workshop. I dragged him there with the attitude that it was going to be boring and so on. He couldn't believe that we would have to sit there for 2hrs but at the end of it he couldn't believe how quickly the time went. The comment was also "that wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be". A win win situation for me and I really think he'll get something out of it. I know that I learnt some things myself. Thanks for teaching us some great strategies to help with the anger. So much to take away from this workshop.

Sarah Verheyen Thank you. Your words are empowering for our teenagers, as I saw in my own boys tonight. The reflection that I saw in them was astounding, and the little changes that started as soon as we walked in the door were proof of the way that you captured their attention. I myself found it very inspiring to hear the way that you have learned how to be a parent - truly inspiring for people like me who have to teach themselves as they weren't taught from an early age. You have given me some steps to further this journey. Your stories and anecdotes really engaged us all.Th
