Education is about change, whether through the efforts of parents/guardians, teachers, professors, advisors or staff. With a career that spanned four universities over 27 years, working with alumni, faculty, student groups and staff, I have espoused the only reason for education: to develop alumni. The sole purpose of educational institutions is to develop graduates, i.e., those who have completed the program of transforming their lives through skills and knowledge acquired in the classrooms, labs or online, and in events, groups and extra-curriculars. Whether grades 1-5, 6-8, 9-12, undergraduate or graduate levels, the goal is the same: to complete the educational process and move on with life, stronger, wiser and more capable.
Combining these perspectives with a career in motivational, inspirational speaking, these topics for educators, parents and students will transform students, schools and futures. And for the younger ages, my favorite role of dad and youth coach helps!
