The Anatomy Of Choice:
Improving students lives and leadership by making healthy choices Students, are faced with some of the most critical choices of their life. These choices will determine their immediate future and set them on life's grand journey. These choices will affect their career path, overall financial stability, personal and professional relationships, and their physical health. We hope that students will make quality life and career choices, but the problem is: we don't teach or coach them when it comes to how to make good choices. How great would it be if they learned how to actively evaluate their alternatives and make quality choices? "The Anatomy Of Choice" will gives a framework for understanding both the science and art of making choices. Students will learn about the components that make up choices. You will learn the difference between a choice and a decision - and how they are unquestionably linked. There are three primary drives to choice: experience, integrity/values, and core personality. Fred will teach how to utilize each drive to your advantage. They will also be given the tools necessary to identify how ones perspective affects the three primary drives. Students are faced with choices every day, and most go unnoticed. However, whether you're just going through the daily motions of life, leading others on campus, contributing as a member of a team, or making critical life choices, this keynote or workshop will be equip them to make better choices. When you truly understand the art and science behind making choices you will reduce stress, increase confidence, decrease conflict, and improve your overall well being. You might just live happily ever after. |
Teaching Students to Discover Their Natural Talents:
Application of "Soft Skills" We spend an intense amount of time teaching students academic skills. These skills are necessary for survival in a growing global economy. Basic skill and knowledge are no longer enough. You have to be able to identify your personal strengths. You must be able to identify your soft skills, and this starts by uncovering your natural talents. Yes, every student is talented. As a society we have a very narrow view of what it means to be talented. Most students, are more aware of their weaknesses than their strengths. It's the weakness trap, and we have been in it for decades. Learning to identify your unique talents takes discovery. Fred instructs you on how to broaden your perspective on what it means to be talented. Once you can identify your unique talents you learn the essential formula for develop your talents into lifelong strengths. We will investigate how discovering talents is rooted in science of Positive Psychology and Strengths Philosophy. We will discuss a number of strengths assessments available on your campus, including Gallup's StrengthsQuest, and the Values In Action Survey (VIA). When you can identify your strengths you're 84% more likely to be engaged. Engagement in school increases academic performance, confidence and graduation rates. It's relevant when you consider only a little over half of students entering college actually graduate, and only 1 in 3 students find a job in their career field. Let's work together to make sure these aren't your stats. |
Success Starts With Your Attitude
We've all heard the saying "attitude is everything." Perhaps it's not everything, but it is a significant gauge for highly successful individuals. There are numerous studies that support the notion that maintaining a positive or healthy attitude increases the likelihood of success in virtually every area of your life. Your happiness, health, and potential success are among the areas directly affected by attitude. Fred gives students practical steps to maintain a healthy attitude. You will learn to identify the triggers that shift your attitude from positive to negative. In this thought provoking keynote or workshop students will discover how to harness the power of their attitude to control their confidence, overcome obstacles, and adversity, and reduce stress. Students will be empowered to control the power of your attitude. |
Key Note or Workshop
All of Fred's programs can be tailored to fit your students' needs. They can be delivered either as keynote presentations or in multimedia seminars/workshop presentations. In either setting, students will be given specific tools, frameworks, strategies, formulas, and generally stellar advice they can immediately apply. Fred's teaching style is best described as instructive storytelling. He is not a comedian, though his stories seem to always get a laugh. Fred's goal is to teach and deliver valuable content. He accomplishes this goal though story. "After hearing me speak several times, someone asked me if I always had to be funny. My answer was no. However, it always seems to come out that way. . . it's just who I am."- Fred |
Who's in Charge of ___________?
This Program Is Based on Fred's
Bestselling Book
"Who's in Charge of Bob?"
Fred's hilarious and inspirational stories of hiding his dyslexia, being bullied and being a bully will captivate students. He understands the struggles and decisions every student faces. Fred shares success stories of students just like yours. They have learned the key between ordinary and extraordinary is the little "EXTRA." Just a little extra effort, time, service, attention to detail and focus on the future makes them extraordinarily successful.
Fred's eventual success through developing his strengths will motivate students to know that they have untapped potential waiting to be discovered. Why is it that our culture finds it easier to tell us what we are doing wrong, rather than what we do well? We have an unhealthy obsession to fix what is broken about an individual's abilities and personality, while essentially ignoring their talents and strengths.
According to Gallup: "Focusing on what is wrong is particularly evident in our school experiences. In every culture studied, the overwhelming majority of parents think that a student's lowest grades deserve the most attention." The problem is we tend to ignore excellence as parents and teachers.
As a dyslexic, Fred has years of experience with people trying to fix him. However, he learned long ago that his dyslexia was never going to be fixed, but it could be managed.
