Not A Motivational Speaker
People see my posts… you travel and speak? Is that your headshot? Are you a motivational speaker? WHOA NOW. No. NO. JUST NO. Well I guess, maybe, kinda… NO NO. I hate the term motivational speaker. For many reasons, but one is that I think I actually made a name for myself telling people what […]
Conference Tips for MGC Members
As we enter the conference season… AFLV Central and West, the NGLA Conference, and several other regional conferences I thought I would write some advice for the culturally based Greek members out there attending conferences. I remember my first MGCA (called AFLV Central now) in 2001. Out of over 1,200 participants there was less than […]
Brothers Let’s Talk
Today on Facebook a post from the The Guardian was shared and interestingly is exactly like my new program called “Brothers Lets Talk”. This program, designed to present to an all male audience asks participants where they are on a spectrum… On one end is racist, on the other is not racist. The question to the […]
April Speaking Whirlwind
I have had a busy last 30 days. I spoke at Illinois Wesleyan with my new “Brothers Let’s Talk” presentation, I did my Legacy presentation at Bradley University for Greek Week, I did my MGC Recruitment program for GVSU, I did recruitment sessions for both the FIU IFC and MGC Councils, I did my “Abuelitas Hands” […]
2015 Six Month Review
It was a very busy six months, and it ended with a bang doing a program for my very own Fraternity. All I can say is thank you to all my clients, contacts, friends and especially Brothers for making it all possible for me. This was the semester of driving… and more driving… I don’t […]
April Showers and Travel
As they say, April Showers Bring May Flowers, well April was one of my busiest travel and consulting months yet. I had three programs, one at Illinois State, University of Illinois and then UCONN. It rained on my trips, but it was nice to travel through IL so much in one month, and what a […]
It’s Not About The Chant
So I feel obligated to chime in… even though I swear I was going to stay out of it. People the issue isn’t the chant… stop being distracted. If the issue is the chant, then SAE did the right thing by canning the chapter. The real problem is racial issues in this country continue to […]
AFLV 2015
Well I just got back from another whirlwind AFLV. Two years in a row that I have only been able to go for one day, which means I drive in and out, and do as many workshops as possible! This year I did three programs and had a great time catching up with friends at […]
FAU Legacy
I was asked by Florida Atlantic University to speak at their MLK Legacy Banquet. They wanted me to present “Abuelitas Hand” and have a focus on leaving a legacy. I was excited to be able to do that program because it meant I would get to weave the story of my Abuelita and in with […]
No AFA Reflection
This is my first year, since 2002, that I won’t be at AFA… The Association of Fraternity Advisors (AFA) Annual Meeting was something I always looked forward to… professionally the first time I went I was totally in awe of the workshops and speakers. All those people talking about making a difference in Greek Life, […]
