WORKSHOP FOR STUDENT LEADERS
Level Up Your Leadership
“How did you become the top student leader on a campus of over 38,000 students?”
“How did you get to manage a budget of over $10 million?”
These are only two of the many questions youth audiences ask of Dr. Hicks. And his answer, to all of them, is straight-forward and true – it wasn’t easy! In this jam-packed workshop, Dr. Hicks enthusiastically clears the path of principles that led him to the road, on the road, and over the road to his leadership success. The candid and hard-learned leadership and life lessons he has encountered over the years have served him well and he shows students how these principles can do the same for them through educational content and enriching activities.
"I was not surprised when the audience jumped to their feet at the conclusion of your speech to show their excitement and appreciation for your motivating message. From start to finish, you had the students on the edge of their seats and intently listening to your words of wisdom."
