Testimonials

The learning from TOM can actually be applied to real life. The skills are those that students will use in further study and in the workplace

When I graduated from University and was applying for jobs, many of the interview tasks involved public speaking and team work. I was told I was hired because I had excellent communication and presentation skills, I could work well in a team and lead without being too dominating. I was able to use my time effectively and get along with the other candidates

There's a whole range of Leadership skills that come through from Tournament of Minds that are critical to your later life

My self-worth grew a bit and I became more confident to express my idea because no one was going to shut it down. I slowly just became more and more confident

It sounds a bit corny but the phrase of TOM 'it's the journey, not the destination'. I think it really is so true. At the end of the day it wasn't about winning, I loved the process. Just being involved in it was what I really loved
