Dating Violence:  “You Throw Like a Girl"
This discussion is directed primarily at men and focuses on language such as "you throw like a girl" that sets a standard on the narrow expectations of masculinity while simultaneously establishing an understanding that girls and women are "less than" men.  The presentation focuses on nurturing positive language and understanding of masculine identity.

Orientation: " Maximize the Experience"
Most Orientation programs are designed to help students identify "trouble areas" and introduce where, within the college or university system, resources are available.  This session supports this effort and help students to recognize the richness in being proactive and engaged in the full compliment of opportunities and support afforded in higher education.

Administrators:  “The Generation Coming”
Each year school administrators welcome a new generation of students.  These students are a product of an ever changing culture that moves faster than research or policy can predict or govern.  Administrators need comprehensive information to better understand the perspective of and challenges inherent in educating and influencing youth behavior.

Creating a Positive Work Environment (Teamwork/Leadership)

“One Down, One to Go”
When teams and organizations succeed, the effort to reach that moment typically requires many factors and individuals coming together. Very often that effort makes milestones to feel more important than they actually are in the big picture. Successful organizations use early success to build team and focus while maintaining an eye on the ultimate prize.

“Our Best Moments Happen in Practice”
Most teams and organizations fail to realize that their best ideas, synergy and work occurs when they are preparing to present their work to a client, in performance, etc. Our preparation is what makes us better and what strengthens our resolve and performance.

Motivational

“Spend Time with Your Dreams”
Most teams and organizations fail to realize that their best ideas, synergy and work occurs when they are preparing to present their work to a client, in performance, etc. Our preparation is what makes us better and what strengthens our resolve and performance.

“Mastery in Practice”
The little things we do everyday, in preparation for larger tasks are the foundation of success. Those minute skills that we take for granted because they were drilled in us and have become rote understanding, are also the ways in which we problem solve, create opportunities and ultimately achieve success.

Transition Issues

“Life is Not an Event”
It's hard to see "down the road" when there are sharp turns blocking your sight. And, no game is won or lost on game day. Sustained success comes from understanding that life is a process and success is measured in the aggregate of the span, not the glitz of a moment.

Overcoming Adversity

“Back to the Manual”
The more difficult challenges become, the more important it is to consider the basics. From the basics we can see the road map to correction and we are reminded of our initial motivation.

“Disregard All Extraneous Stimuli”
Focusing on your mission and goals is more difficult in today's instant gratification and highly saturated media/communication environment. Focus requires strategy and practice.

Work – Life Balance

“BE Where You Are”
We have all been taught to identify where we want to "go;" to set our goals high and shoot for the stars. We've also been told to cherish the journey. With life's many distractions this delicate balance is often very difficult. This lecture helps people to identify, live and work in the moment. It's not where you want to go…it's where you want to BE that is important.

Women’s Issues

"Men Have Gender Too!"
For far too long "gender studies" and differences have been seen through the eyes of women.  The lack of male perspective has led to a narrow view of men and how to communicate/work with them.  As women assume a greater role in American business and culture, how they understand masculinity and their relationship with men become critically important to their success.
