Andy can also deliver 15 to 45 minute Spirit Sessions of icebreakers that will get your participants laughing, cheering and participating! WHAT ORGANIZATIONS HAVE USED ANDY’S IMPACT PRESENTATIONS? Andy has spoken at every Canadian provincial conference at least three times, the Canadian National conference 6 times, and 32 US state student council conventions. Youth organizations that have had Andy speak at their conferences include: Junior and Senior HS Student Council, US National Honor Society, Key Club (Youth Kiwanis), Rotary Youth, Future Business Leaders of America, 4 H, SADD, Safe Schools Programs, Christian Youth Groups, Yearbook, Youth Athletics, Parks & Recreation Employees and College & University Leadership groups. The reason Andy appears at such a large number of major conferences is because of the 100% time commitment he will give the organizers. Andy can be there in the morning performing icebreakers and cheers, he has powerful workshops for everyone, he eats and meets with the delegates, and enjoys socializing with the advisors. Delegates, both students and teachers, get to know Andy as a person and that is his favourite part of being your guest speaker. PRESENTATION SUMMARIES: 1. Keynote presentation - "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 attitude” to deal with stress in leadership and life. Andy then reminds us that as leaders, "If care is contagious, it has to start with you!" Leaders must be an example of care for others to follow! One of the keys to feeling good about yourself is to care enough to help others! This presentation includes a mix of cheers and icebreakers that will get your delegates laughing and participating.
2. Student leadership workshop - How do you get your care, out there? Andy has the answers with the 5 habits to “Make Care Contagious”! This 30 to 90 minute workshop offers youth leaders helpful insight on effectively communicating their care for the school to the students and staff. The presentation draw’s heavily on Andy’s years of experience as a student leader and as a speaker traveling the continent. This session is the perfect follow-up to a keynote presentation for conferences. It gives student leaders the hands-on tools they can immediately use to build on Andy’s messages. The “fun shop” is appropriate for leaders involved in any activities: from student councils and clubs to yearbook committees and peer support teams. Workshop sizes can range from 30 leaders to over 800! Andy also has a 2 to 6 hour version of this workshop. It includes discussion questions, skits, and active icebreaker participation. Email Andy and he can create a program to suit your needs! The 5 Habits of “Making Care Contagious”
3. Spirit Sessions for the Youth Conference Audience Do you need a 15 to 45 minute block of time filled with cheers, large group games, and icebreakers? Andy can easily provide a hilarious session that will get all of your conference participants on their feet to laugh, cheer and meet each other! 4. Activity Advisor workshop - “Making Care Contagious” Andy calls himself the teaching profession’s #1 fan. This is because of the difference teachers have made in his life, and the fact he is married to a high school teacher. Thus, at a minimum, a teacher program with Andy is an empowering reminder to the adult advisor on the difference they make with youth. The presentation length for all programs can be adjusted to your needs, from 30 to 90 minutes. Andy has developed a special version of his “Making Care Contagious” program that is specifically directed towards the needs of Student Activity Advisors. The presentation empowers adult leaders with the tools to teach the 5 Habits of Care to their students. He also shares numerous activities and events that schools can run that support the 5 Habits.
5.
Activity Advisor Workshop - Andy has a hilarious and empowering session for advisors that will get the adults at your conference interacting and laughing. Games, contests and cooperation activities make it an excellent first workshop to set a tone of fun and cooperation between the teachers. It can be a different program then the large group “Spirit Session” noted earlier and thus you can use both at the same conference. Even better is that the participants can take these icebreaker ideas back to their school for their own use!
