Speaking
I’m on a mission to change how youth (and their parents) think about the future. I inspire teens to get off their devices and engage in life while giving parents the strategies and tools they need to motivate them along the way.
I’ve looked at the research, and it’s not good.
We’re in the middle of a youth mental health crisis, and teens aren’t happy. They’re less social, less independent, and have fewer things they’re passionate about.
But it doesn’t need to be this way.
We’re the adults in the room, and we can help teens change course.
Here are the topics I cover for audiences of all sizes
(in-person and virtually)
TOPICS
Making Emotional Intelligence Trendy
The World Economic Forum recently ranked emotional intelligence as one of the most in-demand skills employers look for, above technical skills. That’s right. Employers want people who are self-aware, know how to calm themselves down in stressful situations, and who have good interpersonal skills.
The audience will learn what it means to be emotionally intelligent, get an idea of where they fall on the emotional intelligence spectrum, and walk away with ways to increase their own.
Finding Your Passion
Teens and young adults today report increased loneliness and that they don’t have much they’re passionate about. Yet, when you look at social media, you’d think passions just fall out of the sky! I talk about how passions are things that start out as curiosities and then must be cultivated and maintained along the way.
Audience members learn how to find their passions and what they’ll need to do to keep them going.
Getting Your Teen Motivated
The elephant in the room is that device you’re reading this on, and it’s the thing your teen is likely staring at right now. We’ve handed teens something as addictive as cocaine and then scratch our heads in wonder over why they can’t seem to put down their phones and do something!
Audience members will learn about the 3 skills sets that make up motivation, how to diagnose where they (or their teen) is lacking, and what to do about it.

Whether it’s talking to teens or young adults at schools or speaking with parents in an auditorium, I’ll create passion and increase motivation so teens have a future they’re excited about. Have a topic in mind that’s not listed above? Let’s talk.
