LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT SPEAKERS

BEYOND NETWORKING

Beyond Networking is a workshop to teach students how to communicate effectively and make meaningful connections in a virtual world.

College life is going to be different for a while. As the saying goes, whether you think it’s good or bad, you’re right.

Why not make the most of it?

Human connection specialist Brian Miller is a former magician turned author, international speaker, and podcast host. His book Three New People was praised by Publishers Weekly for “brilliantly outlining a system for deepening relationships.” His podcast Beyond Networking recently cracked the Top 200 under ‘Careers’ on Apple. And his TEDx talk “How to Magically Connect with Anyone” has been viewed over 3 million times worldwide.

Leveraging masterful storytelling, interactive magic, and innovative virtual breakout rooms, Brian will lead your students through a series of engaging and practical exercises in human connection, designed specifically for the virtual world.

THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY SERIES

This is a program celebrating diversity, encouraging empathy and humanity, all while honoring the greatest cultural icons of our times.

In this powerful presentation, Shaun uses biographical rap songs from his Unauthorized Biography Series to celebrate and examine the lives of some of our most influential human rights and social justice activists. 

VIRTUAL CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT

 Are you having trouble getting people to attend and engage in your virtual events?  Are you constantly losing people to the Netflix and Hulu binge nights?  Are you working hard to put on a virtual event only to see a handful of people show up? If so, Virtual Campus Engagement (VCE) would be a great fit for your campus.

VCE provides your student leaders with the online marketing techniques it takes to instantly increase virtual event attendance and then leverage those events to build the number of student leaders you have on campus.  Student engagement is not only about event attendance, we must give students the option to take the next step once they attend. But how do we do that?

Every time you have a virtual event it is a chance to add people to your clubs and organizations on campus.  But most students and advisors are so excited that people showed up that they forget to take attendee to its desired next step – engagement!  I have spoken at countless events in which there was great attendance but no next step was offered.  On the flip side, I’ve been to even MORE events where there were very few people in attendance at all; leaving the team feeling like failures.

The VCE program gives you the tools and techniques you need to change that.  To put virtual marketing in place so that you aren’t constantly losing out to Netlflix and Hulu; and to have seamless offerings and transitions so that students can take the next and become the engaged leaders we know they can be.

CAMPUS CONNECTIONS

Campus Connections is an 8-week ongoing program to support students in a smooth transition to college life in the virtual world.

There’s no doubt about it, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. Entering college has always been an unsettling time for students, and it just got even scarier.

Students are asking lots of important questions right now:

Can I still have the college social life I’ve always dreamed of?

How do I find a support group to help me when I feel overwhelmed?

Will there even be job prospects waiting for me on the other side of this?

Enter human connection specialist Brian Miller. A former professional magician turned, author, international speaker, and podcast host, Brian is offering your students the opportunity of a lifetime.

Join dozens of students from not just your school, but up to 10 schools for a weekly 1-hour group video conference. 

MAXIMIZE YOUR BUZZ

“Alcohol Is Not About Drinking; It’s About Who You Are!”

Since 1993, Harvard School Of Public Health has consistently found that 44% of college students are binge drinkers. Why is it that college students think going on a beer run is exercise? Why is their BAC (blood alcohol content) higher than their GPA? Why do they encourage others who have just thrown up to continue drinking?

Let’s face it: traditional alcohol education doesn’t work. That’s why this seminar is not performed by recovering alcoholics – because you don’t visit a sick person to get health advice. This seminar is the first step to changing behaviors by shifting perceptions: “Alcohol Is Not About Drinking; It’s About Who You Are.” If you HATE lectures, you’ll LOVE this!

This is a seminar about personal values. “Don’t Drink” is not a part of our strategy. Rather, we encourage the students to understand who they are and what’s most important to them. Reduce the negative impact of binge drinking on your campus with this positive approach to find your deeper burning yes and Maximize Your Buzz!

THE RESILIENCE PACKAGE

Presented by Collegiate Empowerment

The Resilience Package consists of three programs to help your students build resilience and recognize their own potential during these unprecedented times. GRIT, Bouncing back from Covid-19 and Being Broke Sucks gives students a new outlook on recovering from challenges in order to move toward a bigger future. 

A COVID-20 PLAN OF ACTION

CAPABILITIES TO TRANSFORM YOU
OBSTACLES = OPPORTUNITIES
VISION FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS
INSIGHTS FOR ACTION
DECISIONS (YES/MAYBE/NO) 

Collegiate Empowerment is an Educational Production Company that helps college students get what they want and need by facilitating high-energy, interactive, engaging, and fun shows, seminars, conferences, and retreats from orientation to graduation.  

ZERO SHADES OF GRAY

The “perfect blend” of education and entertainment for Title IX Compliance.

Imagine a sexual assault conversation that isn’t a scare tactic or boring podium lecture packed full of statistics. Imagine an experience that isn’t focused on the victim, but rather preventing assault in the first place. Imagine a session where counselors don’t need to be standing outside the door because participants don’t feel uncomfortable with the topic.

Now imagine no more. Zero Shades of Gray applies the Collegiate Empowerment best practices of delivering a high-energy, interactive, engaging, and fun experience that is totally relevant and hits the biggest points of how to approach sexual assault on campus. Yes, students will appreciate—and even enjoy—a sexual assault seminar. Imagine that.

The Campus SAVE Act of 2013 mandates that higher education institutions must educate students on the prevention of rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. This kind of programming especially needs to be empowering and enjoyable or the information won’t stick…and that’s what we’ve got for you!

Zero Shades Of Gray sets the tone that sexual assault is black and white. There are no disclaimers, no clauses, and no fine print when it comes to how people feel about being sexually assaulted or raped. It’s serious to the victim, and this seminar helps students understand that this isn’t a victim problem, it’s a problem on all levels.

Widely considered as the “perfect blend” of education and empowerment for Title IX compliance and sexual assault prevention, your students will leave having had a great time, as well as equipped with safe practices for better decision-making. Let’s change behaviors by shifting perceptions: Assault is not a women’s issue, or a men’s issue, it’s a human issue.

BUILD A BETTER VIRTUAL TEAM 

Building a successful team is one of the most powerful things you can do to accomplish your teams mission on your campus.  But how do you do that virtually?  How to keep your team engaged in the mission, excited about the mission and personally committed to the mission when you aren’t able to meet in person?

This program is exactly what you need if you are seeking to build your team virtually.

Let’s get this program to your campus soon!

THE REASON YOU’RE HERE

“The Reason You’re Here!” (aka “The Reason You’re Home Watching What You Should Be Seeing Live Here!”) This virtual orientation event will deliver a core message: College is an opportunity to develop your skills and interests into a dream career. The more value you add to others, the more your skills will be in demand. The most successful profession is the one that adds purpose to your life and value to the lives of others.

The event will be a multimedia presentation built around Michael’s proven tongue-in-cheek campus comedy, timely advice for newly minted college students, and the nationally recognized leadership training of John Maxwell. Michael is a certified leadership teacher and speaker with the John Maxwell Team. The goal of this event is to help young people transition from high school graduation, the official finish line of childhood, to new student orientation, the starting line for adult life and a lifelong career journey. #DoYourThing!

HYPNOTIC INTOXICATION

Hypnotic Intoxication Virtual Edition is a two-session program presented/hosted by Hypnotist Keith Karkut. The first session will be held virtually and the second session will be held at a time when your school returns to live events on campus.

In the first session, Keith Karkut will lead an open discussion about responsible drinking, including sharing both his personal experiences with alcohol and the way it has affected his life as well as by presenting powerful survey questions developed over many years for his live Hypnotic Intoxication program.

Utilizing streaming technology, he will interact with your students and will also utilize videos and his personal story to reinforce his message. He will discuss the true powers of utilizing the mind to its utmost potential that will be used in session two encouraging your students to attend. The students that participate in session one will be sent a personal invitation to participate in the second session.

The second session will be held live. At the beginning of the live event, Keith Karkut will present the data from the first session to reinforce his message. He will then invite people up in stage to participate in his live hypnosis show. At the conclusion of the show, he will serve bottled water and convince the participants that it’s their favorite alcohol. This will result in one student “passing out”, thus creating a powerful display that will reinforce Karkut’s alcohol message. After the participants are taken out of hypnosis, Karkut ties everything together with a powerful message that will encourage the students to rethink some of their decisions and realize what their future holds.
