Man-Making Keynote

At it’s heart, this keynote is about Men Helping Boys on Their Journey to Manhood. Just a few of the ideas we can combine into a compelling and motivational program include:

• The man-hunger for mentors hardwired into adolescent males… and what happens to them when the men don’t show up.
• The ancient job description of Man-Maker that is hardwired into men . . . whether they realize it or not.
• The barriers that insulate men from the gifts waiting for them in man-making activities.
• How men can reclaim the missing pieces of their masculine esteem by stepping forward to help a boy or boys.
• The Continuum of Involvement and many different (and low risk) ways men can have a positive influence in boy’s lives.
• How women in the audience can encourage the men in their lives to become man-makers, and where to find good men to mentor their boys.

Most importantly, I can insure that by the end of the program, every person present, regardless of their level of commitment to this work, will have identified a number of personally comfortable actions they can take in service to boys.

If experience is any predictor, there is little question this keynote will be a an uplifting and transformational experience for your audience.
