KEYNOTES
Student Keynote: Be YOUnique
Today’s teenagers have to deal with issues ranging from anorexia and pregnancy to suicide and school shootings. The increasing number of broken homes and divorces explain the unprecedented percentage of students who choose to turn to drugs, sex, and alcohol.
Teenagers don’t always see the link between today’s actions and the consequences of tomorrow, so now is an opportunity for students to discover their true self.
Justin’s keynote inspires students to Be YOUnique and challenges them to:
* Accept Yourself, Understand Others
* Act on their Dreams
* Deflate Peer Pressure
* Un-clique and Be Real
* Choose Gratitude
Educator Keynote: EDGE-ucator
Justin wastes no time getting participants’ attention with statements like: “I don’t believe in education.” Then, after a few uncomfortable moments follows with; “However, I do believe in educators/parents. That is why I am presenting this keynote to you instead of encyclopedias and dictionaries.”
Justin’s humor continues to shine through as he shares his experience as a successful coach. He believes every educator/parent is a coach, they just don’t know it. Justin will inspire most if not everyone attending to get their lives in shape by running two marathons a year. Not with your legs but with your heart.
In closing, Justin shares a simple and effective model that will make you reflect on the importance of building rapport with youth.
