LENNY DELIVERS! "This did not suck - this was a great learning experience! Lenny is so much more than just another motivational speaker full of… textbook and theory. Thanks for the fun activities and the heart-to-heart discussion. Lenny is awesome - bring him back every year!" "Wow - your program taught me new ways to approach all sorts of issues... not only as a student leader on campus, but as a man." LENNY'S "CREATIVITY" MESSAGE It's simple - "There is always more than one right answer!" Never before has the opportunity and creative challenge been more clearly set before a generation! College students have always rallied behind the battle cry for "Change!" But when push comes to shove, too many student leaders often have little or no clue about how to generate new ideas - what questions to ask - nor do they have a basic understanding of from where new ideas emerge. For over 25 years, Lenny has been helping student leaders and campus organizations learn how to see new possibilities, how to generate new ideas (lots of them) and ultimately how to come closer together as a productive, effective team so they can truly lead their campus! Lenny's FUN, motivational keynotes and interactive workshops inform and entertain campus audiences across North America - and students come away knowing how to respond when someone offers up the tired excuse, "But, we’ve always done it this way!" Got a few minutes? Listen to Lenny's extended internet-radio interview on
BigMediaUSA.com discussing creativity, humor and laughter!
Opportunity - in a word, that’s what the campus experience is all about. Some students seize it and build upon it. Others waste it and are the first to complain that none exist. Lenny challenges students to learn critical thinking skills and the kind of relevant 'real world' information to which they're not exposed in the classroom - information that can positively impact their college experience and beyond... in a career search, in the workplace, in the community, and personally.
USAToday (Sept. 11, 2007) says, "Colleges and universities are learning to work with a new breed of parent." According to one study, campuses hosting Parent Orientation programs have increased from 7% in 2003 to over 75% today. "For the 3rd year in a row, Lenny kept our parents and students engaged, laughing and interacting! This is a great, energetic and fun experience." Just as the college experience has a profound impact upon the lives of students (and usually a very positive one), it has an equally significant impact upon the lives of parents. "The Art of College Parenting" helps to prepare new college Moms and Dads for the journey that lies ahead. In this educational, informative, yet still-light-enough-to-be-fun program, parents' fears are alleviated and their most basic and pressing questions are addressed.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR HIGH SCHOOLS: Lenny also presents this popular program for parents of college-bound high school seniors. Options also include a version for parents and students. With a focus on the transition from high school to college, this shared, 'live' experience opens up the lines of communication so important academic and campus lifestyle issues can be addressed and discussed by the student, his or her parents, and the school counselor. Effective? Listen to the parents...
"My daughter and I really enjoyed your presentation last night. Thank you for sharing your learning with us. Being a first-time parent of a college bound child, we both found it to be really helpful." "Tremendous! You have a gift, Lenny, and my wife and I arrived at that conclusion independently." "Your talk helped my son realize his self-confidence. As a parent, I can’t tell you how powerful that is! Thank you again for such a wonderful evening." "Lenny, you’ve identified a target audience that has been under-served for too long!" Bias, stereotype, prejudice and discrimination are no joke. But, what happens when these fine lines are intentionally crossed? A powerful video 'mock-umentary' opens the door for spirited discussion. Recognizing, understanding and appreciating 'differences' means so much more than merely addressing issues of race. Differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability/disability, and age make us all unique. But, what makes us all the same? In a non-threatening environment, audience members share personal experiences to shed additional light on the subject. This popular and timely program has twice been honored with the "Best Ed. Session" award at the NACA West Regional Conference. Find out why! Bring this valuable learning experience to your campus - and not just in February!
LENNY'S PRESENTATION STYLE Today's students want to learn, but they also want to be entertained - so, why not give them both? Sure, Lenny's message is serious, but he also believes that learning can be and should be FUN! Lenny combines a powerful message that students need with a dynamic approach that students love.
Forget the podium! Lenny's interactive learning environment dynamically utilizes cartoons, video, music, light-hearted lecture plus the wit and wisdom of people throughout history to emphasize fundamental concepts. Think-shops include more extensive group and individual creative exercises.
