Dress for Success

Dressing for success implies that you pay attention to detail, have a way with people, like quality and have a certain degree of confidence. People will make amazing assumptions about your professional credibility and potential performance based on the way you look when they first see you. The hip-hop culture has become a fabric in society over the past years. While their has been a shift to wear sport coats with jeans, society often associates hip hop with big chains, throw back jerseys and what many would say is prison garb. Youth today have forgotten that some decisions are based on nonverbal elements – handshake, eye contact, body language, posture, listening skills – as well as clothing, grooming and accessories. This presentation will address the importance of dressing for where you want to go and for what you want to do.

The game called discipline

This presentation will speak to the importance of making conscious decisions in your personal development. You will be challenged to take 100% responsibility for your relationships, choices, habits, and your decisions.   We will require you to take a hard look at yourself, consciously deciding what kind of person you truly are on the inside, and then getting your actions to be congruent with your true self. The goal of this presentation is to help you achieve outstanding effectiveness while maintaining internal balance where your thoughts, feelings, actions, and skills are all working together to create the life they truly desire. We will encourage you to face the un- faceable parts of life and to make important changes in your life, both big and small, so you can get your life on track and start living up to your potential.

Best Practices for Working with At-Risk Students

It is often difficult for most educators to believe that most people, it seems, can live without academic engagement. Like the man whose toolbox only has a hammer so that, for him, all problems look like nails, so do educators endeavor to address a variety of potential causes that place students "at risk" with the only kinds of tools they are comfortable with: academic interventions.Some potential factors to being “At-Risk”

  1. Living in unstable school districts;
  2. Being a member of a low-income family
  3. Having low academic skills (though not necessarily low intelligence);
  4. Having parents who are not high school graduates
  5. Being single-parent children;
  6. Having negative self-perceptions; being bored and alienated; having low self-esteem

Get Your Academic Game Up

This presentation is committed to providing students with the understanding and appreciation of what education can and will do for them. It will also convey to them that their experiences and socioeconomic conditions don’t have to determine who they will become. From an intellectual point of view I will show them what education can afford them and how it will make their lives more enriched.
