Team Hawaiian cordially invites you to hear from and be inspired by three leaders from the sporting world for an evening of insights to motivation and leadership.
We are also very excited to welcome Russell Gibbs, CEO of Hawaiian, to MC the event.
This is a ticketed event to raise funds for Youth Focus, an amazing West Australian organisation dedicated to promoting mental wellbeing and supporting young people in all aspects of their lives and providing free counselling to people under 25 right across our State.
Together, we will celebrate the important services Youth Focus provides for WA’s young people.
We will have some delicious canapes and drinks for guests to enjoy as they hear from these sporting legends. There will also be opportunities to participate in raffles and auctions for a terrific collection of gifts and prizes, all in support of Youth Focus.
Meet our guest speakers.
Jenn Morris
A Dual Olympic gold medallist, Jenn Morris represented Australia in hockey from 1991 to 2000 playing 150 games for her country and scoring 86 goals.

A trailblazer in cycling, Simon has coached dozens of elite athletes in cycling; an Olympic champion, multiple Commonwealth medallists, and has attended four Olympic Games.
He was the Head Coach at British Cycling and then Head of Innovation at Team Sky, the most successful professional cycling team in history. His tremendous success also saw Simon win the UK coach of the year.
More recently, Simon led the Australian Cycling Team as Performance Director. He led with focus on the people, creating a purposeful environment with a clear strategy and milestone targets.
Beau Waters
Beau is the former Vice Captain of the West Coast Eagles whose off-field achievements easily equal his achievements on the field.
An AFL footballer for over a decade, Beau’s leadership qualities were recognised at an early age when he was named one of four senior managers of West Coast Eagles at age 21 and Vice Captain at 23. With a passion for developing talent, he mentored junior players and worked to develop and implement a vision to aid cultural change for the club.
Since then, Beau has overseen the governance of several not-for-profit organisations including Youth Focus and is currently the Global Marketing Director for Sports & Entertainment at Jacobs.
