Lucas Daniel Boyce
As a motivational speaker Lucas has spoken on over forty occasions in the last three years to students of all ages, professional and civic associations, non-profits, group homes, government officials, and even prisoners in transitional housing. He speaks at corporate retreats, graduations, schools, universities, group homes, adoption and family centered organizations, church groups and community events.
When he graduated high-school, Lucas had three dreams: to work at the White House, fly aboard Air Force One and to work for an NBA team. And at the age of 29, Lucas, an executive with the NBA's Orlando Magic, didn't just fulfill the near-unattainable troika of dreams; he obliterated a myriad of obstacles to do so. His path to the NBA was an improbable journey filled with daunting life challenges.
Born premature to a 19-year-old call girl who abused drugs and alcohol Lucas had early struggles with schooling and ended up struggling through pre-school and even flunking kindergarten. But his adoptive mother instilled two very important principles. Those principles led Lucas to get up off the mat, step it up and eventually stand out.
Regardless of whether you are looking for inspiration or not, Lucas Daniel Boyce's story will touch your heart. The life lessons he shares can help anyone, in any stage of life. With a number of entertaining and insightful stories he has gathered from his time at the White House and flying aboard Air Force One Lucas presents a deeper level of insight on what it takes to be a leader, be successful and live authentic lives of character.
"Whether the speech is brief or long and the group is small or large, Lucas always finds a way to make the impact strong, emotional and moving. His presentations leave people wanting more. It is a real gift." -Allan Chernoff, Executive Director of the City of Life Foundation
