  • George Bell Speaking at George Bell
    Jul 2010 - Present · 16 yrs

    A proud Aboriginal man born and raised in Cairns, Queensland Australia George Bell is one of the very few Motivational Speakers with an Indigenous bloodline. Georges message is so powerful because he draws from his own struggles such as dealing with cultural identity loss due to the stolen generation, growing up in what was one of the worst suburbs to live in Australia because of drugs, alcohol and violence, being a high school drop out, living on the streets, being a juvenile offender, trying to take his life at 16 and battling severe depression. His gift is the ability to take these struggles combine it with a related topic and motivate the multitudes while empowering each individual. George use an ancient Aboriginal traditional technique called story telling. Storytelling is a form of communication Aboriginal people have used since the beginning of time. History, beliefs and skill based knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation through specific cultural practices, traditions, languages, laws and family relationships. The examples of these traditions are most commonly found through song, dance, art and craft-making. George believes Motivational Speaking is the modern terminology of the Aboriginal tradition.
