This is the framework for a talk to the JIVE Group at the University of Canberra in October. I hope to use some of my experiences in sport to explore the importance of self-esteem. I hope too the themes within my talk will resonate with the Journey, Inspiration, Vision and Encouragement. The title for the talk is prompted by two songs. One is Release Me by Oh Laura and Are We Human by the Killers. The mispelling of my talk title is lined to the debate about the lyrics in Are We Human.

A glass of water longing for the

And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart
Cut the cord ...
