Guest Speaker Sharn Coombes
Sharn has an impressive resume including Crown Prosecutor, Defense Barrister, legal rights advocate, community service advocate, mother of four, charity fund raiser and, famously, a twice runner-up of Survivor Australia. (In fact she is the only competitor that has never had her torch extinguished - what a player!). Sharn had no difficulty holding the attention of our members as she gave us a synopsis of her life and the values that drive her. From and early age she was determined to stand up for the rights of her fellow humans and followed a pathwy into Law to allow her to fulfill this passion. She inspired us with her character strengths of determiation, ability to focus on a task and courage. Her success in Law on both sides of the fence bears testament to this. It became quite clear that she had all the attributes to succeed in whatever she tackled. This was exemplified in the reality show "Survivor Australia" and even though she never won, you could argue that she also never lost. It was agreat presentation and I am sure we could have listened to Sharn late into the night. The RCME thanks her for a most interesting and compelling presentation and congratulate her on her achievements to date. I am sure more will follow.
