Life School: Better Today

WHO IS A FIRE STARTER?

This is a conversation not a speech or lesson. You don't have to be polished, you just have to be you. You have a story, you know where you came from. So you just need to be who you are everyday. No slides, no presentation. More like sitting under a tree with someone you care for enough to urge forward. 

 

I’m not inviting “speakers”, I’m inviting inspiring people. People who aren’t perfect, made mistakes, but kept going and are “Better Today” because of it, as is the world around them.

 

I know your voice. I know your candor. And I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t think you would do amazing.

​

WHO WILL ATTEND?

The group is parents with their high school children and aspiring adults (13-85yrs old) from around the country. We’ve had a woman scientist working to release a test to detect COVID; an Air Force Master Sergeant and assistant fire chief with 153 firefighters under his command; and Vera Rowe, who started her path as a math teacher then jumped ship to chase her dream and ultimately become 9-time world champion in Salsa, Hustle, and Bachata.

​

WHAT SHOULD I SHARE?

You are next. Don't bring a lesson to teach. Bring the lessons that have taught you. You’ve inspired many and we hope to have the chance to see the root of that inspiration through your story. And that’s not all. I know there’s a lot more story to you than that. It is the little things that people don’t hear often that have the most impact. “Wow. You struggled too." "Wow. I’m not the only one." "Wow. There’s someone else like me.” "Wow. If you can do, I can. And I will start today."

 

This is all it is: A bit of a background on who you are, where you came from, and how you got there. And of course the idea of how you've worked and want/need/plan to continue to work to be a better you.

​

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS:

Who or what do you believe has had the greatest influence on you becoming who you are today? If you could reach yourself at half your current age, what would you change or what guidance would you want to impart? Where do you look or go when you need inspiration?

​

There are no right answers. There are no wrong answers. Because every word is you.

​

HOW LONG IS IT?

The conversation is 90 minutes total. You will have the floor for 20-30 minutes to start the conversation, then we will opening up for questions and conversation.

​

WHAT IS NEEDED IN ADVANCE?

Simply send me a photo and two sentences that summarize you, your background, and your story to build an introduction that will be sent out the Wednesday prior. And of course think about who you are and how you got there. The rest will happen naturally.
