2011 Youth Forum KEYNOTE - Mission: Impossible and Other Outrageous Lies
Presenter: Leslie Householder
You were put on this planet with an inborn desire to find and accomplish your unique life’s mission – one that will become your passion, your purpose, your meaningful contribution to the world, and ultimately, your legacy. The world would have you believe that you are not good enough, smart enough, strong enough, or clever enough to discover and accomplish that mission. It would have you believe that your mission is not just impossible to identify or define, but even more impossible to complete. Not true! Through humor and other surprises, this class will reveal secrets that can give you the advantage, insight, and empowerment you need to get excited about your future and stay on track, as well as the inner peace of mind and confidence that you can and will succeed at whatever you are called upon to do.
2011 Youth Forum Special Guest Presenter: Eric Proffitt
Nobody is Ordinary Presenter: Eric Proffitt While running away from police, and risking gang beatings, Eric took his 5 girls on the run of his life. Shackled in chains from head to toe, Eric ran for freedom from Washington DC to New York in the summer of 2009. Using live music and real life stories, Eric inspires youth to realize that NOBODY IS ORDINARY- not even you!!
2011 Youth Forum Presentation: One Millionth of a Volt
Presenter: Jim Rhoades
"Did you know that it only takes one millionth of a volt of energy to change your mind? And such a little bit of energy can make such a big difference in our future."
Jim Rhoades
"Whatever good things we build end up building us."
Jim Rohn:
Making the journey fun is just one of the keys to discovering and embracing your personal mission, come learn the rest. I guarantee that one decision can change it all.
Jim Rhoades is a master storyteller. The title of this story is "Do Bad Things Ever Happen to Good People? and if so Why?
Is it possible for a youth, even just 12 years old, to find their own personal legend or mission in life? If so, what is the combination that opens that safe. When George Washington was 12 years old, did it suddenly occur to him, that he was to make that big of difference in the world?
It is the consistent, persistent, little things in our life that we do daily, learned in our youth, that forges our lives and ultimately, this world. Just one decision made at the right time makes all the difference... One millionth of a volt.
2011 Youth Forum Presentation: The Power of Story
Presenter: Angela Baker
Damsels in distress, kingdoms threatened, seemingly insurmountable odds, and a hero or heroine who, having never faced such challenges, doesn’t know yet how powerful they are. That’s story—engaging, inspiring, suspenseful, heart-warming, life-changing, and unforgettable. Story isn’t just found in books and movies. Every person’s life is a story—even yours. Why not make your story one worth telling again and again? You can! In this class we’ll explore some of the greatest stories of all time to discover the 4 Elements of Story. You’ll see that a great life is made of the same stuff and that you have what it takes to live a great story. Come find out how.
2011 Youth Forum Presentation: Lines of Conflict
Presenter: Adam Hailstone
Although Americans generally lead peaceful lives, our nation is involved in heated conflicts around the globe. We are dealing with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, potential nuclear threats in Iran and North Korea, and economic battles with China and other countries. Why do these conflicts matter, and how do they impact your life? This workshop will teach today’s youth important skills they can use to understand world events in this fascinating time in history.
2011 Youth Forum Presentation: Five Tough Things About Being an Entrepreneur
Presenter: James Ure
Hi. I'm James, and I have a _______ business here in town. [Little does this person know this is one of my first times ever doing _____.] Have you ever had ____ done on your home before? [I'm not even quite sure I know how to do ____ correctly.] Would you like a free estimate? [I have little idea about what I should charge here.] Will you allow me to _____? [I'm really not sure if I want you to say yes or no.] Being an entrepreneur is harder than saddling up a greasy rhinoceros with a bald chicken under each arm. But if you know some of the challenges, and you begin making a few small changes now, you can accomplish your greatest entrepreneurial dreams. I can't help you avoid the pain of leadership; but I can help you begin preparing.
2011 Youth Forum Presentation: Why Science and Math Are Essential in Leadership Education
Presenter: Michael Wilson
It has been said that the 21st century is the Century of Biology. If this is the case, effective and powerful leaders must have a deep and powerful understanding of the mathematic and scientific that provide the foundation for modern science. In this lecture, Dr. Wilson will discuss the history of science, its relationship to leadership and liber education, and why tomorrow's leaders need to understand mathematic thinking and scientific discovery in order to impact the world and fulfill their missions.
2010 Youth Forum KEYNOTE: Teens: Leaders of the New World
Presenter: Dr. Shanon Brooks
We all know that for years you have been told that you are awesome and incredible. Well here’s the truth . . . it doesn’t matter what adults think. Do you believe it and are you ready? Ready or not, you will lead America into the 21st century. What does that mean? It means that you will be called upon for solutions during very long, hard economic times. It means that you will be personally involved in international struggles. It means that as times get tough, society will begin to break down; and you will have to find strong solutions to save American families and communities. Do you have the answers?
Whether America continues to be a world leader or not depends on you. What you do over the next 5 years will in great measure decide the difference between a nation of free citizens or a country of dependent followers. You alone will lead this nation into its greatest moments or standby as she drifts off into the annals of bygone civilizations.
These are heavy thoughts. You are extraordinary people. This is what you were born to do. It is time to step into your greatness. Please join Dr. Shanon Brooks for a “no nonsense,” “hard hitting,” “face-your realities-and-come-out-victorious” discussion about you and the future.
2010 Youth Forum Presentation: Be the Change or Be the Same? Why Skywalker Wasn’t a Storm Trooper
Presenter: Julie Earley
The American youth of WWII have been called the greatest generation because they emerged triumphant—yet that same bright generation in Germany were led astray and utterly wasted. History cycles through generations and those who don’t know the patterns are condemned to repeat them. In the coming crisis of our day, will you become the heroes who lead out or the followers who shrink back and become absorbed into the collective?
2010 Youth Forum Presentation: Instant Improvement in Writing
Presenter: Andrew Pudewa
For those who enjoy writing or for those who don’t, this concrete method of teaching and learning stylistic variety will seem almost like magic. Useful at the elementary level and equally useful for the university student, this approach to sentence pattern mastery is powerful! Likely you’ll ask, “Why didn’t I learn this when I was in school?” The words “writing style” will take on a whole new dimension.
2010 Youth Forum Presentation: Scholar Power: Are you ready to –ing?
Presenter: Nicholeen Peck
Many of us want to start making a difference in the world right now. Is this possible when you are still a youth? Absolutely! The world is waiting for you to do the –ing. This –ing thing is the key to transforming the world; no matter how old you are. Warning, this class will be a bit wild at times. You may not be able to stay in your seat during some of the excitement. Come explore the power of –ing!
2010 Youth Forum Presentation: The Burden of Proof
Presenter: Dan Ralphs
One definition of leadership is that the leader is simply the best in any field. To be the best, we must be willing to submit ourselves to living a lifestyle of greatness. If we really want greatness, lets PROVE IT! Thoreau said, "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." This scholar phase address, is about building the foundations of habit, hard work and excellence.
2010 Youth Forum Presentation: Can I Get Into College by Reading the Classics?
Presenter: Ann Meeks
ACT test, college admissions, scholarships, academic and leadership camps, and Prom, versus classics, scholar phase, mission, simulations and Formal Ball. It seems as if a line has been drawn in the sand. Choose one side or the other. If you go to Prom you’re labeled a “teenager” or if you choose not to get a high school diploma you are not college bound and have no future. Right? Wrong. A true leader creates his or her own success and doesn’t follow any type of conveyor belt thinking. Take control of your future. Planning is the key to success. What things do you need to do and know if you want to get a scholarship? Do I really need to take standardized tests? How can I use my non-traditional, leadership education as an advantage when applying for college, scholarships and other programs? Come and join the discussion and then get busy making your dreams a reality.
