Keynotes For Student Leadership Conferences
True leadership starts with the ability to lead yourself. In a world filled with "curveballs" from social pressures and academic struggles to personal setbacks, this keynote gives students the tools to “take off their masks.”
Dee’s ability to relate on a deeper level with your top echelon students, the ones that are perceived to be doing just fine, is a must see! Many students that hear him are moved to tears as he teaches them to:
Bounce Back: Understand that resilience isn't just about grades and good schools, but dealing with the unseen.
Take of their masks: Understanding that on campus you may be a superstar while at home you may be dealing with parental pressure, imposter syndrome, or thoughts of inadequacy.
Empathy: You may be living a great life, this doesn’t mean that those students around you are. A good leader uses their skills and talents to serve others.
Give your audience a message they won't forget. Book Dee now to shake up your next event.
