TITLE: (RE)DEFINING THE GOAL
Audience: Educators, community, mixed
Description: Dr. Fleming’s inspiring presentation discusses new paradigms and tangible action steps for education to help all students gain a competitive advantage. Technical skills are the new currency in the future of work, but how do we balance preparing students for both higher education and the workforce? Acclaimed TEDx speaker and bestselling author of ReDefining the Goal, he will make a clear case for intentional career exploration, holistic education, skill acquisition, and real-world application in tandem with a general education. Finally, his animated video will both invigorate and challenge the evolution of career readiness. Are you ready to pivot?
TITLE: BECOMING THEIR FIRST CHOICE
Audience: CTE Educators
Description: For years you have forged partnerships, created pathways, and developed programs…yet we still have empty seats in our classes. Many career & technical educational programs remain the “alternative” or “safety” option. Why doesn’t everyone get it already? While we balance preparing students for both higher education and the workforce, it is time to shift our messaging. We need to (re)define the goal and (re)examine why the tipping point still has not yet occurred towards pathways, industry credentials, career readiness, and the pursuit of gainful employment. It’s time to become their first choice.
TITLE: ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO FACILITATE STUDENT SUCCESS
Audience: Counselors, Educators
Description: We all know a 4-year degree may lead to economic prosperity and opens many doors for our students. However, we also know that the university pathway isn’t for everyone. Dr. Kevin Fleming will present data and an animated video in a way that both invigorates and challenges the role of school counseling, evolution of career readiness, and redefines educational planning. It is time to reexamine what questions we should be asking of our students, and of ourselves, to maximize student success.
TITLE: 4 SKILLS & 4 STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL CAREER
Audience: Parents, Students, Community
Description: Just graduating is no longer enough. There are 4 specific skills all students need; and there are 4 proven steps to ensure alignment between one’s purpose and their future careers. Dr. Kevin J Fleming is the bestselling author of (Re)Defining the Goal and producer of 90+ viral animated videos. His inspiring presentation explains the new economic realities and tangible action steps to help all learners gain a competitive advantage. Join Dr. Fleming as he challenges, invigorates, and equips every learner’s potential for a successful future.
TITLE: WORDS ARE YOUR SUPERPOWER
Audience: All, Mixed
Description: Words are everywhere. They are used in conversation, email, speeches, videos, songs, and books. They are fallen seeds that, properly placed, can grow into mighty forests of love, affirmation, purpose, and possibility. While the speed of their impact is variable (they can ignite passion and inspiration in a single breath, or like termites they can slowly hollow away someone's self-worth throughout an entire lifetime) their capability for influence is undeniable. Dr. Kevin Fleming reminds us of the dormant potential our words have to impact the world regardless of where we stand. He will empower and embolden our inner voice, which we too often suppress, inspiring each of us to confidently wield our language, and our silence, to create our future with intentionality.
