YOUTH MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

CONNECTING WITH STUDENTS ON AN EMOTIONAL LEVEL

Youth motivational speaker David Flood has been speaking with and helping teens and young adults for over 20 years. He teaches teens through the telling of his own very personal stories about his family in the past and present.

At David’s student assembly programs he uses simple examples that students can relate to in order to show them how to improve their lives and how to have a profound impact on those around them. David will reinforce any social and emotional learning (SEL) that your school is already providing. He believes in proactive emotional literacy to encourage dignity and respect throughout the building. It is for this reason that he has spoken in over 600 middle schools and high schools as well as leadership conferences, parent workshops, and professional development days for teachers.

He’s been a featured speaker at middle school assemblies, high school assemblies, colleges, and teacher/counselor conferences throughout the United States and Canada and established himself as a national youth motivational speaker that students connect with on an emotional level. David is one of the best youth motivational speakers in the country today.

DAILY THOUGHT

April is Autism Awareness Month. It is good to bring awareness to people on the spectrum and with disabilities. But awareness is not enough. There is another step to take when it comes to human connection and that is acceptance. I have had the privilege of speaking to thousands of students across the country as a youth speaker.

A simple example for kids is what I teach them. Awareness is knowing someone with a disability, difference, or challenge. Acceptance is inviting them to eat lunch with you. There is a huge difference. Awareness can be compared to sympathy which is still good. Acceptance is closer to empathy. I feel sorry for you, versus, I know how you feel. But there is another step to take. You must act on your feelings to include the other person. Simple stuff but we tend to overthink things. Just a thought😁
