The Work of Making an Impact

Walk away with the knowledge needed to focus on what matters most, do good work, and control your narrative. All the tools you need to make Leadership a Verb!

The Code:
10 Things EVERY College Student Needs to Know
Because success in college can largely depend on how students handle changes and transitions, The Code provides the key to mastering those challenges. Whether it’s a freshman new to campus, a transfer from a Community College or 2 yr. institution, or a senior on the way out, The Code prepares students to navigate periods of transition and quickly adapt to change. Developed from a blend of Chris’ own student leadership successes and failures combined with research from student leaders, Student Affairs professionals, and professors, The Code has students ready to tackle whatever challenges the campus throws at them.
Students walk away from The Code with:
- A workable plan to network with students, faculty, and the community in a way that helps them, their organization, and the campus navigate change as it arises.
- The clear knowledge of how setting W.O.W. Goals will help them manage change and transition and a step by step plan on how to implement their W.O.W. goals.
- The tools to examine their organization’s goals to create a vision that everyone in the organization wants to see become a reality as they each move through their college years
Advisors of students that follow The Code will see:
- More marketable students able to demonstrate the soft skills to set them apart in a competitive job market – including critical thinking skills, ethics, integrity, leadership skills, the ability to work with others and effective communications.
- Students that know how to manage their college experience to produce personal and academic success.
- Students with keen sense of self-identity, self-esteem, and confidence that are motivated to manage their personal affairs, maximize their academic performance and get involved on campus.
PROGRAM FORMAT
45 – 60 min keynote or workshop (The Code and H.A.R.M. can be combined for an executive leadership track for conferences and retreats)
The Soundtrack is a perfect program for:
Retention-oriented Programs; Admissions and Transfer Programs; Leadership Conferences and Retreats; Emerging Leaders Training; Orientation and First Year Experience Programs
Every student that steps foot on the campus is a leader, The Code gives each student the tools they need to make a successful transition into college life.
The Soundtrack:
Life after the Letters
This award-winning, interactive diversity program has students examining the role and influence of music in their lives. Hip Hop music and culture are the most commonly used tools in multimedia outlets. The Soundtrack will have your students singing, dancing, all while discovering the power of diversity.The Soundtrack emphasizes the use of critical thinking skills and engages students in a conversation that examines the cultural and social effects of multimedia on diversity. Through a Hip Hop lens, we cover things such as race, gender issues, relationships (both platonic and romantic) and leadership. Students will leave this experience understanding the power and beauty of diversity.
The Soundtrack helps students develop their own filter and is an experience that leaves students with the following learning outcomes:
- How to identify and recognize the influence of media in the development of their social and cultural ideals.
- How to interpret the socio-economic impact of stereotypes in race, sexuality, relationships, and leadership.
- How to recognize and critique the images and messages they see in multimedia.
- How to analyze their world view in an effort to move from tolerance to acceptance of both “visible” and “invisible” diversity factors.
Advisors of students that know “The Soundtrack” will see:
- Students that are able to define, explore and value diversity.
- A strengthened campus culture that prevents discrimination and promotes inclusiveness.
- Students that recognize, assess, examine, and minimize their own unintentional biases.
PROGRAM FORMAT
60-90 min workshop, 45-60 min keynote; half day diversity workshop
The Soundtrack is a perfect program for:
Leadership Conferences, Multicultural Conferences and Diversity Programs; Resident Assistant Training and All – Hall Residence Life Programs; Orientation and First Year Experience Programs; Campus Activity Board Programming
Using today’s music as a springboard students will gain an understanding and appreciation of human differences and grow in their cultural competency and social responsibility. These are life skills no student should be without.
