*James’ Most Popular Keynote Presentation
(Ideal for Any Conference Opening or Closing Session)
In this dynamic
keynote, James motivates teen’s with his three principles for
creating a successful future:
- Focus on
your dreams, not the obstacles;
- Commit to
pursue your dreams;
- Be willing
to help others.
James
says, “Get a dream, commit to your dream, focus on your dream
and never quit when faced with obstacles. Obstacles are just a part
of life. It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down.
It matters how many times you get up! ... Life is not about money,
cars, fame or awards. I think it’s about people. While we pursue
our dreams, we need to help others and tell those who are important
to us that we love and care about them. You never know whose life
you can positively change with a little love and kindness.”

High on Life, Not Drugs™

(Keynote, Ideal for Drug/Alcohol Awareness)

kill, period.
They
kill your body, your mind and will eventually kill you. There is
nothing positive that can be gained from using or dealing drugs.
No one can make the decision for you. It’s your choice and
you need to be strong enough to say NO!
You
need to think before you do drugs! Think about what it would do
to your family, friends and everyone who cares about you if you
were to die because of one wrong decision to use drugs!”
