Empowering Students to Learn, Lead & Live with Purpose

Creating an Environment For Your Students To Learn And Thrive In School AND In Life Has Never Been Easy.

Between distractions, pressure, and personal challenges, many students struggle to stay focused, motivated, and on track.

Administrators tell me the same thing over and over:

➡️ Students are often distracted, disengaged, and falling behind.

➡️ Teachers are burned out and wondering if they can really make a difference.

But what if things could be different?

What if there was a simpler, more effective way to reconnect with your students, help them see the value in their education, and create a learning environment where teachers can actually enjoy teaching??

Here’s what I've learned:

Every student needs a YES in their life—something so meaningful, they won’t let anything stop them from pursuing it.

Without that YES, they’re more likely to say yes to anything… and that often leads to poor participation, lower test scores, higher dropout rates, and fewer positive life outcomes.

I help students discover their YES—their purpose, their “why”—so they stay engaged, show up ready to learn, and are equipped to lead with confidence.

And that gives your educators exactly what they need: students who are teachable, motivated, and focused on their future.

“You made me realize the impact my actions can have on my future and that my future is more important than things I want now. Thank you for teaching me the value of decisions.”

~High school student

My experience delivering presentations to classrooms of thirty each week, and before assemblies of thousands each year, has afforded me the opportunity to engage with students on a more personal level.

The “real talk” classroom discussions we have in class, along with the 17,000+ letters I have received from high school students, give me a unique perspective into their hearts and minds.

As a graduate of Furman University and the founder of MotivationN3D, it has been a privilege to have spent the past 23 years speaking and impacting nearly 200,000 teens.

"I don't think you realize how much of a blessing it was to hear you speak.

You really inspired me and gave me the courage to live up to my full potential!."

~ High School Student

“This was the most powerful message that my students have heard while I’ve been at this school...

It was refreshing for a new face, a new perspective, an outsider to bring such a powerful message that touched each and every student in some form or fashion! When I spoke with other teachers at my school, we were all in awe of the engagement and interest shown by the students who attended the assembly."
