Statistics show that nearly 90% of the world dislikes public speaking. People are afraid to stand up in front of others and talk. I am energized by it. Early on, I found that I had a gift for sharing stories and ideas in a way that motivated, encouraged, and inspired others. I don’t say that to brag or prop myself up. It’s just one of my strengths.
I’m a firm believer that one should work on one’s strength rather than spending time trying to prop up one’s weaknesses. I’ve discovered that I’m not very good at counseling other people, managing finances, or cooking food. I will leave that to others. What’s exciting is that more and more people have left the speaking for me.
I currently offer keynotes/training sessions in the following areas:
LEADERSHIP STARTS WITH YOU
The best leaders have developed the consistent discipline to lead themselves well. They understand that successful leadership is always preceded by self-leadership. This program takes leadership to it’s most personal level – WHO a leader is. Based on the practical and applicable principles in Tim’s book (Leadership Starts With You), you’ll come away with the tools and techniques to influence the first person you need to lead on a daily basis – yourself.
THE SIX SEASONS OF THE STUDENT LEADER YEAR
Most students get to serve in a student leadership position for one year. One year! In this program, your students will discover how to navigate through the ups and downs, the good times and bad that a year of student leadership can bring. Through Tim’s engaging style and humorous experiences, students will be better prepared for what lies ahead of them throughout the course of an entire student leadership year.
IMPACT – MOVING FROM SPECTATOR TO REVOLUTIONARY
You can only learn so much in a classroom. Most often, leadership is learned by leading. Most leadership programs teach students how to be workers rather than leaders. If a student can take care of the responsibilities of his or her leadership position all alone, he or she is not leading. Tim shares valuable leadership concepts and offers real-life illustrations to help students move from sitting on the sideline to leading a team of people.
THE LEADERSHIP LABORATORY – CREATING A LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE AND CULTURE
Anyone can start a student leadership program…but not all of them are effective. High caliber student leaders require a high caliber investment. Tim outlines what your student leaders need to be doing EVERYDAY to develop their leadership capacities. Find out why many institutions aren’t willing to take the risk necessary to grow strong student leaders.
