Join Griffith Soroptimists for our annual International Women's Day Breakfast.
Our guest speaker, Kerri Pottharst, Australia’s most decorated Indoor and Beach Volleyball player, having represented her country for an incredible 20 years.
Renowned for being one of the fiercest competitors in the world of Volleyball, Kerri is now also known for being a successful inspirational speaker and presenter, entrepreneur and published author.
.
When Kerri took up volleyball at the age of 15, she hadn’t yet dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion. In 1992 a sickening knee injury should have ended her career, but in her typical no-nonsense style, Kerri recovered late in 1993, changed her goals to Beach Volleyball and then went on to compete in three Olympic Games and win two Olympic medals - Bronze at Atlanta and then the Gold against Brazil during the Sydney 2000 Games.
Having retired from International level competition, Kerri’s Golden journey continues as she now shares her Gold Medal Excellence strategies with audiences to inspire them on their own journey to success.
Amongst Kerri’s many skills is her innate ability to connect with the audience in a way that is warm, authentic, and most importantly, relatable. Using entertaining anecdotes from her experiences as a competitor, and as a regular commentator at the Olympic Games and other sporting events, Kerri motivates and inspires her audiences to overcome their fears and self doubts, to set goals and to push through the barriers to achieve them.
We are delighted to welcome Kerri to Griffith to celebrate International Women's Day with us.
All proceeds from this event go towards Soroptimist projects benefiting women and girls locally and internationally.
