Signature Keynote:

Show Up To Level UP

Package, Present, Persevere.

 

Every student wants success, but today’s students are distracted. Significant time and energy is spent on social media and fitting in with one’s peers. Self-worth is increasingly defined by “likes.” Influencers have changed how students view their futures, and whether school matters. Academic stress and expectations are at all-time highs. Students feel overwhelmed, while others simply want to know how to discover their path.

 

This dynamic and entertaining presentation helps students get fired up about their success. Coupling her love for education with fun real-life examples, Toni teaches students how to package themselves, present themselves, and persevere towards their goals. She reignites academic interest in students and reminds them of the importance of school - demonstrating how reading, writing, and knowledge is central to every career endeavor... even celebrities and influencers.  As a result, students gain valuable skills to dream big and get set up for success.
