Speaking

This page used to be more professional, but the simple truth is that I love speaking. I’m passionate about speaking and passionate about sharing ideas. I’ve spoken at schools, conferences, and special events in both Ontario and Quebec. I always adapt my speeches or presentations to the engagement. I’ve shared the stage with other speakers including Craig Kielburger, Dr. Anne-Marie Zajdlik, and Mayor Brenda Halloran. More often than not, I require that my expenses for the engagement are covered and depending on the event, an honorarium or donation to I Have Hope may be requested. To contact me, click here. Below is a video from TEDxGuelphU. I was a little over energetic that day, but loved having the chance to speak in the TEDx style.

These are some general topics that I’ve written about:

Finding Hope In A Scary World

Reflecting on personal experiences from being an angered teenager to developing I Have Hope, I walk audiences through my experience of searching for hope.

Global Citizenship: A Legacy of Hope

Frustrated by the stereotype of students being apathetic, this presentation focuses on how today’s youthful generation is making a difference.

Growing Up

Although I will never claim to have perfected the ability to manage life, I’ve definitely found some ways not to. As an overcommitted student and young entrepreneur, I emphasize the importance of little victories, support systems, personal improvement, and passion.

Turning Hobbies Into Careers

I speak of how important it is in life to do what you love. By sharing my own experiences of chasing after his passion, I try to motivate others to identify what it is that they love and encourage them to pursue it.
