Andy's Impact Presentations for Colleges & Universities Andy’s presentations run approximately 45-90 minutes in length, based on your needs. He also offers skills-based leadership workshops that compliment the messages of his keynotes. These presentations are based on his experiences as a former university student leader, as a speaker traveling North America, and as a successful entrepreneur in the field of leadership and personal development. Andy’s specific experiences at the University of Western Ontario (London, Canada) as a student, an Orientation Week leader (1990-1992) and as a leadership consultant (1993 to present) give him excellent background for these sessions. Andy’s IMPACT presentations are perfect for: Orientation leaders training; Orientation Week entertainment; students’ council/residence council training and motivation; residence staff programs; a special evening for a faculty or residence; awards banquets; a “thank you” program for campus volunteers; presenting to a specific class; leadership conferences; presentations open to the entire student body. KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS Keynote presentations offer motivation, thoughtful insight, and humorous reflections through Andy’s unique high-energy delivery. Keynotes are not "note-taking" sessions and have a higher "entertainment" element than a workshop. 1. SHARE YOUR CARE Andy uses powerful and hilarious stories to highlight the power of the individual to make a difference. He opens with an inspiring piece on using your “recess mentality” to deal with stress in leadership and life. Andy then reminds us "If care is contagious, it has to start with you!" As leaders, we must be a model of caring for others to follow! 2. SUCCESS KEYS - Unlocking Your Dreams in the 21st Century! Andy motivates his audience by reminding us that despite this great era of change, the keys to success have yet to change! Using his life story and insights of his friends across the continent, Andy points out that tomorrow's success starts with commitments made today. His 5 success keys are: Do more = get more, Share Your Care , don’t give up, Friends and family are everything, Set goals and focus on the future. 3. ORIENTATION WEEK INSPIRATIONS – For Orientation & Residence Staff This presentation is perfect for orientation and residence staff training and motivation. Drawing on his 3 years of experiences as a University orientation week organizer, Andy powerfully reminds your staff of the fun, impact and responsibilities that their position carries. Additional themes include commitment, teamwork, motivation, and handling stress. He also empowers your staff with games and activities to help them make the first year students feel welcome at your school! 4. ORIENTATION WEEK INSPIRATIONS – For First Year Students “I was there!” is the running theme throughout this hilarious and powerful talk. Drawing on his experiences, Andy brings an atmosphere of trust, openness and fun when most needed by your students. He tells first year students that it’s okay to feel a little out of place but that the feeling is only going to get better by taking action. Additional themes include: do more and you get more, making this place “home”, let yourself learn and have fun! LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS Andy’s workshops educate through the use of humour, energy, and personal stories to breathe life into the material. These sessions are more appropriate for formalized settings. 1. "CAN I COUNT ON YOU?" - Building Your Reliability This session addresses the concepts of "time management" from a unique and very interesting perspective. Trust is the foundation for loving families, fun friendships, spirited students' councils, successful businesses, and effective leaders. Yet people earn the trust of another by being reliable. Andy offers useful and immediately applicable advice on improving your reliability. Through his insights, he demonstrates how increased reliability improves one's time management! 2. “LET’S TALK!” - Effective Communication Skills Get "excited" about your next speaking opportunity! This session draws on Andy's massive speaking experience, ranging from high school pep rallies, university orientation weeks to adult programs across North America. He offers hands-on insight on: overcoming "the fear" (and how it is linked to self esteem), putting more "you" into all of your communication, using the "power of the positive", and how to "visualize" your improved speaking performances. Andy's ideas are applicable whether you're communicating with one person or one thousand.
