YOUTH | HANDS OFF - BRAINS ON

Every day it seems you turn on the news to hear yet another horrifying, and often tragic case of BULLYING. It’s sad, frightening, and something we all play a role in helping to STOP. As a rolling example of what using intimidation to accomplish significance really costs, Anti-Bullying Speaker Jake French earns instant credibility and attention. With impactful examples, incredible real-life stories, and insights that can open young eyes, Jake CONNECTS with students on this topic in an extraordinary way. They will never look at themselves, classmates, or even relationships through the same lens again. It’s THAT powerful.

In this timely and critically important message, Jake will teach students how to:

• Build each other UP instead of breaking others down
• Understand how even our subtle actions AFFECT those around us
• Use their INFLUENCE to set a positive precedence
• Look inside themselves and choose to RISE ABOVE social pressures

To genuinely change the way someone thinks, you’ve got to make them feel what you feel. Jake was not only a victim of senseless harassment, this pain came from the hands of his childhood best friend. This is a speaker who has the courage to really go there with students, getting to the very core of their pain, then building them back up through a common VISION about creating a better way to become happy, confident, and even cool. Jake has developed a style to talk with youth that reaches their raw emotions, using real examples to shake them up to the point where they are knocked back a bit, and have to do some serious self reflection.

For the first time, some of the teens will understand what it’s like to be on the receiving end of bullying, while others in the audience will finally get their feelings validated. Both sides will walk away with actionable steps that lead to a noticeably more tolerant and compassionate culture in your school. The more we can do to keep students SAFE, turn preconceptions around, and develop an emotional motive to connect in POSITIVE, mutually respectful ways, the stronger impact we can have on their lives, now and in the future. Count on Jake to be the difference between a lecture and staging a revelation in the way your students treat each other.
