Elementary Speech - Super Student: Everyone loves super heroes, but students don’t know how to apply that to their heroes, but students don’t know how to apply that to their lives. Super Students teaches students that you don’t need super powers to be a Super Student, just super choices. Brandon teaches how to be courageous and have character regarding bullying, leadership, and making positive/healthy choices. Your school will love this presentation.

Own it: Move beyond what holds you back. Fear, doubt, hate, and excuses keep us from achieving and leading, but the thing that holds us back the most is ourselves. Ownership starts with having a clear vision of who you are and what you want, and it requires the inner toughness to make it what you want, and it requires the inner toughness to make it happen. Students leave with a new sense of ownership in life and leadership and the motivation to make it happen.
