YOUTH PROGRAMS

Nothing to Something / Be Who and What I Want to Be: This program is geared to youth organizations and deals primarily with self esteem issues and personal growth for young people. We will, in an Age specific way give them (youth) the encouragement they need to do better, feel better and think better. We will give them tools to fight the negative forces  that affect their environment...    we will let them know that even if they come from nothing they can go to something .....This program can be catered to children in general or children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

 

FAITH BASED/INSPIRATIONAL/ASSOCIATIONS

 

Order My Steps: deals with the confusion we all experience in our life.  It deals with the times when we are not sure what we should be doing and if what we are doing is what God wants us to do. We are tested each and every day by friends, enemies, family, bill collectors the IRS, co- workers, spouses and landlords  just to name a few !!  In the midst of all of life's storms there is a light at the end of the tunnel called the Lord. Just  like the  Lord said in the famous poem when your struggles were at their peak and you thought you could not go on realize that I would never leave you  it was then I carried you...This is  the  thought process we take the audience through. When we realize that every day above ground is a good one then we can begin to break down the issues we are faced with on a daily basis. We need to realize that if we get out of our own way, sit quietly in meditation.  All will become clear, if we simply allow him to order our steps...

 

Understanding What a Real Blessing Is:

 

Sometimes we are blessed beyond measure but we cannot see it because we are complaining about our current state of affairs. We are not thankful and do not feel we are walking in favor with God. If we subscribe to these beliefs then we find ourselves acting out of character .The problem here is that we block our own blessings by not recognizing what a blessing is.  The Gorilla calmly explains these scenarios to the audience and walks them through methodologies designed to help them understand this and succeed in recognizing all the glory of their life and the blessings bestowed upon them on a daily basis.

 

The Snooze button: This talk deals with the comfortable lifestyle that most of us embrace (laziness, Spoiled or just complacent). The Gorilla speaks to the urgency of the moment. The here, now and why you should capitalize on the opportunities that are in your life today!!

 

Logic vs Emotion: asks the question...why do we do wrong when we know what is right? The lessons learned here are invaluable to your personal growth. There are key steps you can follow to not let (you) get in the way of you! Your business life, professional life and personal life are all affected by your ability or inability to separate logic from emotion...   The Gorilla will show you the way!!

 

Your Are in Business as Long as You Say You Are

This talk deals with motivating business people and addressing the toxic people that entrepreneurs have to deal with on a regular basis. The naysayers  and the non believers. We all have doubters. We cannot allow these people to dictate how we feel, think and act. You will be successful as long as you think you will be, and you are in business as long as you say you are!!    

 

Workforce to Dreams

This is where we go into municipalities and work with their workforce development agencies and Dept of Labor offices and offer their displaced workers a new entrepreneurial component. We do a motivational talk and a training session or sessions depending on the need level. We introduce the client /workers to the world of entrepreneurship and business. This new economy is dictating that this happen above and beyond normal job assistance programs.
