Keynote topics

AMERICA NEEDS MORE “C STUDENTS”

At the turn of the 21st century, educational reformers and writers began anticipating the needs of our future learners. After several meetings of the most powerful minds in education, they ended up with a phrase called, “The 4 C’s of the 21st Century Learner," which included:

Collaboration
Communication
Creativity
Critical Thinking

Unfortunately, there is not a magic wand that provides these skills to students and they’re not necessarily teachable in isolation. Tal takes attendees on a ride through the essential "C's" that were left out: Confidence, Connections, Catalysts, Communities, and Compassion, just to name a few. Without teaching and developing these C's, we will never get the results we strive for in education. Our students will not be best equipped unless we develop more "C Students!"

Cultivating EARNED CONFIDENCE in our Classrooms

What is the biggest enemy to confidence? FALSE confidence! It destroys our students’ potential, crippling their production levels, collaboration effectiveness, and creative expressions. Unfortunately, many of our students today haven’t been taught perseverance and are not equipped to learn from failure. Students who fear risk and refuse to leave their comfort zones will never reach their full potential, which unfortunately means that our classrooms also fail to innovate and grow at the highest levels. In this keynote session, Tal leads attendees through:

A journey comparing young adults who are equipped with EARNED confidence vs. FALSE confidence and the outcomes of both.
The ten-step process to cultivate EARNED confidence in any setting or organization, ranging from schools to corporations.

Hall of Fame Leadership

When we think of the Hall of Fame, we think of the best of the best. Every administrator wants to be the best they can be and serve their staff at the highest levels. In this keynote session, Tal takes school leaders on an entertaining and informative journey to:

Identify the impactful traits that lead to Hall of Fame-level leadership.
Be intentional with adding these traits to their leadership skills repertoire, take that first step, and understand the path forward.
Learn practical strategies and methods that can be implemented immediately at their school or workplace.
