Presentations

Presentations (5)
C.O.O.L. VS C.O.I.L.

Teaching young males to choose Character over outward appearance, a mental shift to focusing on their inner layers over their outer layers

A Better M.A.L.E. (Men Are Learned Early)

A transformational message of relearning the incorrect lessons that many males learn growing up, and relearning the proper steps to be social and emotional successful

I dropped out year ago, you just ignored it

Addressing emotional, academic and social disengagement from school, long before it becomes problematic and someone took notice.

High F.I.V.E. (Fathers Involved Value Excellence)

A call for fathers and/or mentors to not only show up by being present, be productive while being present.

I was NOT At-Risk, I was RISK

Often we here of adolescent males being described as at-risk; although there is not clear definition of what at-risk is, what is being defined as at-risk does not prove that it is true. In this presentation I discuss how labeling a student at-risk does not make a student that label. There is no way of proving that an at-risk student cannot be successful. I talk about how I was past the labeling of at-risk, my situation was so bad that I was just RISK. I show how adolescent males can be moved off the at-risk list, to the another success list.
