From dynamic opening keynotes that launch the conference in a powerful direction to powerful closing keynotes that leave participants inspired to take action on what they learned, we have presented at student leadership conferences across the country. An added bonus is our ability to present interactive and exciting breakout sessions on a variety of important and timely issues central to enhancing student engagement.
See descriptions of a few of our workshop we offer. They could be used as a stand alone program or as a break out session in a conference or as an element of a customized leadership retreat
Here are a few comments from an Orientation Leader training
at Springfield College that Troy Stende facilitated.
It was conducted for 80 Orientation Leaders over 3 hours.
The training was a customized version of the “Be the Change” program
(These comments were gathered by the lead Orientation
Leaders)
“Troy is wonderful at bringing
a group together.He is able to key in on what a group needs and then accommodate
his program to them.He uses the perfect balanceof fun games, team building activities and self-empowering moments.”
“He showed us a positive
way to interact with each other and our
incoming new students.”
“I’ve never seen a group get so close in such a short
period of time.”
“It was life
altering, moving, immensely effective and fun.”
“Troy’s program made me realize how much my life has impacted others in a positive way.Knowing that I make a difference has made me want to be a better person.”
And about being able to open up to others…
“Troy did a wonderful job at getting us to open up and become
comfortable in a very short amount of time.We had fun but learned a lot about
ourselves and each other.”
“This was my first
experience actually opening up to people.I usually hide all of my emotions and never share my feelings openly but
Troy actually got me to open up.I
believe it was a life changing experience.”
“Troy made me open up
more than I’ve ever done in my entire life.He not only allowed me to open up my heart to speak about
another person to make them feel good, he also made me feel good about
myself.He brought all of us
together to form an amazing bond”
“The family circles and close interpersonal relationship
building was so tremendous that even in a group of close to 100 people, it felt as if you knew each individual in the room exceptionally well with the way Troy
guides his workshops.”

I loved your presentations. It’s very refreshing to be around someone who truly gets what we do.

(The leadership retreat) truly was a great experience that that has been the topic of several conversations with our students this week. I saw how individuals came together as a group and how attentive they were throughout the program. Our student leaders were participants who came to a leadership program because someone encouraged them to do so and were transformed into a group that was willing to share openly about issues that were very personal and that they had obviously been struggling with for some time. Your efforts have inspired them to “break through” those habits that have held them back and become the leader they wish to be. Let’s hope the students continue the journey!
