Nationally Recognized youth speaker Jamahl Keyes Tip: Learn how to educate your at risk student the need for student leadership and character development by telling them the history of Thomas Edison.


Thomas Edison's short stay in the classroom was a disaster. His mother pulled him out and gave him a workshop that focused on character development and student leadership so he could develop his natural talent at his own pace, she was not concerned withacademics at that time. You know the rest of the story. What if he lived in today’s type of government subsidize housing unit? Being a frustrated young at risk student chances are he would turn to crime and drugs, then spend his life in prison, all because he did not have the needed character development and student leadership skills to find his true talent and/or an outlet in order to developit, if found.



• How many Thomas Edisons' are in jail because they were incompatible with classroom environments and lack opportunity not havingany character development skills to help develop their natural talent?

• People are in prison today because society says all teenagers especially the ones that don’t show many students leadership must be intellectuals before they can develop their natural talent. They were labeled failures in the classroom and self-fulfilling prophecy proves everyone right.



A high percent of today's professional blue-collar workers walked outside theeducation system, couldn'tqualify for apprentice programs or technical schools, started their career as a helper, advanced until many now make $70,000 per year. Blue-collar employers are not interested in applicants' education level, they want work ethic skills, the ability to get the job done, good character development skill and student leadership. With healthy self-esteem, employers can teach necessary skills, even at the helper level. A person with negative self-esteem has no value to anyone, even with education achievement certificates. Standardized test builds positive self-esteem in the winners and negative self-esteem in the losers and does nothing to build upself-discovery or natural talent.



Thomas Edison was lucky, his mother quickly recognized what the academics-first policy was doing to Thomas and removed him from that environment. Many of today's teenagers are not so lucky, they are stripped away fromthe education environment and sent to jail.

Nationally Recognized youth speaker Jamahl Keyes Tip: How to construct a Anti Bully and Character Education Culture Inside your School And Community.


That the nation is split with regards to educating a student of the 21st century established fact. But now some of the effects of that national division are getting to be clear: methods and strategiesof educating our students is becoming a subject best avoided when you first speak with what should be carried out to help educate our students with this day and time. Whether it’s Charter Schools, Private Schools, Public Schools and evenBoarding Schools, many parents, teachers, politicians and administrators are avoiding discussing how to deal with the Bullying culture of the students of today. Perhaps the most obvious sign of this reluctance to address the issue is the fact that Character education has almost been abolished from everyone’s curriculum as a whole.



“Character education is a mustif we areto provideour students the needed and necessary tools to achieve successin class and life,” explains Jamahl Keyes, professional speaker, author and producer of Americas number one Anti Bully Assembly Program.”Today’s student has nothought ofthe repercussions of not understanding what character is and the way good character uncovers doors and secures their success.”



“The connection betweenstudentsbeing aware of what Character is” says Jamahl Keyes, professional speaker, author and producer of Americas number 1 Anti Bully Assembly Program, ”Is a culture of scholarsknowing thattheir success isn't only what grades they may get, but what impact whether positive or negative they've got about the people around them.”



New subjects in schools are rapidly using theplace ofCharacter education and leadership.



“Give us astudent that includes a4.0 GPA and horrible character and presentus astudent which has a2.5 GPA and agreat character, each studentwith the2.5 GPA will out shine the oppositestudent for the reason that, they'll haveevery resource open to themto achieve success, mainly because they will be a pleasant student and later worker to get along with.” Jamahl Keyes, professional speaker, author and producer of Americas number 1 Anti Bully Assembly Program, laments.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Turn Trash into Treasure


In every business there are scraps and throwaways. It stands to reason that if you


own a metal etching company, like Indiana Metal Etching in Elkhart, IN, you’d have scrap metal.Yes, it gets recycled, but one day it struck us to create our 3” x 5” business cards out of metal. Add a couple of etched samples on the card and we had something really unique and interesting.


 


Can you say “homerun”?


 


We’ve now done metal business cards for all kinds of big-shots, from company presidents to mayors of Chinese provinces. We’ve also done a heck of a lot of them for individuals who want to stand out from the crowd and be


noticed.


 


One client who was in the financial business had us create a business card for him that looked like a thin gold bar.


 


The thing that makes these cards so powerful is that, unlike regular crappy paper business cards, people don’t throw these away. They keep them, they always know where they are (unlike a paper business card), and they show


them to friends. And sometimes they even order them! What business are you in?


 


What should you be using for a business card?

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: The Gold Is in the List


Your client list is your business’s numberone asset.


Know who your clients are. Where do they live, when is their birthday, how


many children do they have, what do they read, and what do they do when


they’re not working?


 


The gold is in the list. Sliced and diced, niched, and pitched – there is nothing


more valuable.


 


And you won’t believe how many business owners don’t even have their customer list in any digital form (preferably a database). They don’t stay in contact. They don’t send them notes.


 


They don’t send newsletters. They don’t send emails. Nothing.Nada.Zilch.


They just sit back and “pray” that they’ll come back and buy.


 


OK, if it’s a really big customer, they may call them once in a while and ask if they


have any other business.


 



But that’s no way to treat gold. Software services like aWeber,


InfusionSoft, 1Shopping Cart, ACT, Send Pepper, and others help protect that


golden list so you can mine it over and over and over.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Monitor Your Employees


There’s a saying: “inspect what you expect.” That means we inspect what our employees are doing, whether it’s a routine job or something a little more complicated, to make sure what they do meet our expectations.


 


Because if it meets the owner’s expectations, it will meet the customers’ expectations, too.


 


And on the other hand, if we don’t inspect…well, how will we even know what we’re getting? Chances are we won’t until a customer doesn’t get what he expects – and by then, it will be too late.


 


President Reagan used to say “trust but verify.” I believe that saying


will serve you well in life.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Master Your Mind


The person credited for coining the term mastermind is Napoleon Hill in his famous


ground breaking book Think and Grow Rich which he wrote in the early 1900’s.Mastermind groups, however, have actually been around as long as people have been around. You can even go back to the Bible and Jesus, constantly “masterminding” with


his 12 disciples.


 


If you’re not familiar with the concept, a mastermind group is where two or more people come together with a goal of helping each other. Each is able to access the others’ strengths, which


produces better results for all than any one of the people ever could possibly generate on their own.


 


You can create a mastermind group out of people in your own industry or, even better, from people outside your industry (all in non-competing businesses). I say “even better” because, when


you’re able to talk to business owners outside your industry, you’re able to learn cool and fresh creative strategies that no one else in your business sector is using.


 


Sounds pretty good, huh?


 


So join or start a mastermind group and blow your competition away!

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Remember Your Purpose


A lot of times, we get so busy working in our business that we forget why we’re


doing what we do in the first place! And, no, don’t say it’s to make money – nobody


goes to your business just because they want to give you money. You’re not that


special.


 


ZigZiglar(Christian motivational speaker and sales expert) used to have a good saying, and we all should try to live by it.


 


“Always give everybody else what they want, and you will have everything that you want.” Remember – the only radio station your customers are listening to is WIIFM (What’s in it for me?).

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Set the Mood


Whether you own a Country Inn and Suites in Northern Indiana or a


restaurant featuring home-style cooking in Lancaster, PA, you can “set the mood”.


 


Why not have a nice fire roaring in the fireplace (especially on cold winter


nights) or a carriage to take the guests through the property?


 


During Christmas season, have holiday music playing and serve homemade hot


cinnamon cider - on the house. Pull out all your grandmother’s cookie recipes


and start baking up a storm. You could even assemble your own cookbook and


give them away or sell them.


 


Little things, big return. Your clients are welcomed guests – not unwanted pests.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Crack a Smile


Chances are you smile when you greet a customer in person. But what about on the


phone? Believe it or not, whether it’s a friend, a family member, or even a potential customer, people can actually see you through that


phone.


 


Well, not exactly. But they form a picture in their mind, and if you’re not smiling, that’s a part of the picture.


 


I don’t know why, but I still know that the act of smiling makes you sound and even feel happier. So when that phone rings, no matter what’s going on, I stop for a minute, stand up (this gives you more energy on the phone and it’s healthy) and smile. I want whoever is on the other end to feel how happy I am to get their call. And people


are more likely to buy from a happy person.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Meet Their Expectations and Then Exceed Them


Who hasn’t been to Disney World and marveled at the smallest detail? If


you’ve ever taken a behind-the-scenes tour, you’ll know that EVERTHING to


Disney is marketing. And EVERYONE is responsible for that marketing.


 


Disney doesn’t have employees. Disney has cast members.


Upbeat music is played as you enter the park in the morning. Calming music is


played as you leave in the late afternoon and evening.


 


No detail is too small, too insignificant, or too unimportant to Disney. Even their


cleanliness is marketing.


 


Take a trip at least once a year to Disney and look through different marketing


glasses every time, and then implement what you see in your own business.

Youth Leadership Speaker Strategies Will Guarantee Any Students Success.


For most teachers and parents, teaching youth leadership is something that is sometimes looked over. But that might be changing. According to the latest violence in school statistics, growing number of educators are focusing on teaching students youth leadership skills. Many teachers may not think they have the time to add youth leadership to their already stressful school day.



“Studies show that schools that teach the importance of youth leadership have less violence on a school year basis.” says, Jamahl Keyes, top selling author, youth leadership speaker and character development expert. “Many students are not taught the basic leadership skills needed to be successful in school and after.”



One of the reasons that youth leadership education has become so popular, argues Jamahl, is the proof that it works. News reports all over the world have shown success stories from students that learned leadership and have contributed their success to leadership.



Many students too feel they handle the stresses of life better because of their knowledge of leadership.



“Of course, students are not likely to learn all they need to know about leadership overnight, this is something that needs to be taught and reinforced,” says Jamahl, “but once the students get it the skies the limit on what you can teach them and the climate in your school classroom and community will change for the better, students that learn youth leadership are students that will do well in school, college and in corporate America.”

Here i will discuss three tips when deciding ona good Anti Bully and Character Development program for your upcoming school assembly:



1. Do

Also, google Anti Bully and Character Development Assembly on the internet. Don’t generally go lookingat the sponsored searches because speakers pay to be listed. Also glance at theorganic searches right under the sponsored links.

Don’t assume. That is why you're making contact with the speaker.



3. Ask
to acquire more information. You have discussed the budgetand the speaker’s fee. Now it's about time toask for more information as you are considering hiring this speaker. Ask for themedia kit or the speakers packet of information. The speaker should gladly send you more information.

Some speakers say, “All the information is available on
the site.” Some speakers have more information that they can send you such as:

a. Letters of
referrals

b. Video clipof a recent talk

c. Flyers



This info should help you in hiring a wonderful Anti Bully and Character Development speaker for the next event. Finding the perfect Anti Bully and Character Development assembly program isn’t easy. It is rather stressful when you are trying to select a speaker that can impact young impressionable minds. Your job is to find a speaker that can relate to your students.



Today’s students
require a speaker that is real, entertaining and direct. They want one that treats them like young adults and doesn’t disrespect them by speaking right down tothem. Find a speaker that will leave a lasting impression and that will touch hearts and change lives!

The best way to educate your at risk student the need for student leadership and character development by telling them the history of Thomas Edison.


Thomas Edison's short stay in the classroom was a disaster. His mother pulled him out and gave him a workshop that focused on character development and student leadership so he could develop his natural talent at his own pace, she was not concerned aboutacademics at the moment. You know the rest of the story. What if he lived in today’s type of government subsidize housing unit? Being a frustrated young at risk student chances are he would turn to crime and drugs, then spend his life in prison, all because he did not have the needed character development and student leadership skills to find his true talent and/or an outlet to formulateit, if found.



• How many Thomas Edisons' are in jail because theywere in conflict with classroom environments and lack opportunity without havingany character development skills to help develop their natural talent?

• People are in prison today because society says all teenagers specially theones that don’t show many studentsleadership must be intellectuals before they can develop their natural talent. They were labeled failures in the classroom and self-fulfilling prophecy proves everyone right.



A highpercent of today's professional blue-collar workers walked from the education system, was not able to qualify for apprentice programs or technical schools, started their career as a helper, advanced until many now make $70,000 per year. Blue-collar employers are not interested in applicants' education level, they want work ethic skills, the ability to get the job done, good character development skill and student leadership. With healthy self-esteem, employers can teach necessary skills, even at the helper level. A person with negative self-esteem has no value to anyone, even with education achievement certificates. Standardized test builds positive self-esteem in the winners and negative self-esteem in the losers and does nothing to add mass toself-discovery or natural talent.



Thomas Edison was lucky, his mother quickly recognized what the academics-first policy was doing to Thomas and removed him from that environment. Many of today's teenagers are not so lucky, they are taken out ofthe education environment and sent to jail.

A School Assembly Indianapolis-The Key To Educating Your Students About Character Development and Youth Leadership


We’ve all heard the old maxim that a good school assembly Indianapolis will help set the right tone for the school year, but according to studies, schools that have assemblies have better results than schools that don’t have assemblies.



“A school assembly is the best way to introduce your students to tough subjects like bullying, character development and leadership,” explains Jamahl Keyes, top selling author, Character Development trainer and youth leadership speaker. “Using a School Assembly Indianapolis to introduce students to what they need to learn and know helps teachers and staff reinforce what needs to be expected from the students throughout the year.”



And it’s not just a good school assembly that’s important, says Jamahl. If the speaker can also leave some materials that students can take home and or use in the classroom this can be a great addition to any school’s curriculum.



Although students love to go to any type of school assembly, it is very important to find one that uses visual arts, good interaction, comedy and maybe music if you are to reach the student of the 21st century. Studies show that the average students attention span is not as long as their predecessors. So to educate the student of today speakers need  to have a certain element of entertainment to the message they are trying to convey.”In all of my programs I make it a point to get the attention of the students with a mind reading effect, because if I can get their attention in the beginning I can slip some key points they need to know throughout the program.” explains, Jamahl.

Communicate: It is vitalfor parents to talk with their child at the beginning ofthe school year. Ask them how was their day? If they say it was a good day ask why, if they say it was a bad day ask why. Communicating withyour child daily will help them communicate with you when the going gets tough, it will also help you as a parent to get to know your child better.



Evaluate: Evaluate what your child may be trying to say to you. Are they trying to answer the questions you havequickly because they don’t know what to say or even know how to express themselves.
