STORYTELLING FOR LEADERSHIP: MAKING AN IMPACT WITH WORDS. I explained the 4 parts of the Public Narrative Model (Develop your Personal Story, Community Story, Call to Action and Act out your Story) to empower students towards leadership. Leave with the tools to create your own story of advocacy and transform those words into real global change.

I explore the following topics during this speaking engagement that can also be structured as an interactive workshop: how to start a nonprofit, how to engagement volunteers, develop their mission statement, vision statement, name, obtain an EIN, draft a business plan, and how to engage millennials. I also provided my audience and clients with a checklist and one-on-one coaching.

As the CEO of Schools for Sustainability, I recruited and engage 80 volunteers from many backgrounds (education, accounting, law, engineering, and architecture) to share their time in establishing a sustainable world. I share my secrets on how I recruited such a skilled and diverse team of volunteers. I also share tips on how to keep them engaged, through proper team management.

I share my two experiences abroad for 6 month in both India and Tanzania, and how it changed my life. In India, I alleviated poverty with a microfinance organization in the slums of Pune. In Tanzania, I researched witness protection programs for the establishment of a program in the Tribunal of Rwanda. I share my personal experiences, while sharing information about reputable study abroad programs
