After presenting his wildly popular assembly programs for over 15 years in schools across the United States
and Canada, Motivational Assembly Presenter / Speaker Cris Johnson knows first hand just how many challenges and up hill
battles our young adults face today.
Here's
what a few recent school clients had to say about Cris' programs...
“…well-presented, dynamic and very entertaining.”
“Cris was able to keep an audience
of students along with their teachers captivated for 45 minutes. The program was well presented, dynamic and very entertaining.
His upbeat presentation along with his sense of humor and timing provide an excellent program for students. I would recommend
this program for schools without hesitation.”
NancyJean Osborn, Principal
Byron-Bergen Central School, Bergen, NY
"We have had him two years in a row..."
"Outstanding! Cris is really great with the kids...
He is both entertaining and informative. We have had him two years in a row and the kids REALLY enjoy Cris’ programs.”
Carm Proctor, Principal
Jefferson Middle School, Jamestown, NY
“Excellent!”
“Great
control of audience with an appropriate message. Excellent!”
Dan Bracey,
Principal
Washington Middle School, Jamestown, NY
For
our children, middle and high school can be a tough time in life: new friend ships to forge, increases in peer pressure
and school becoming even more challenging. The pressure to ‘fit in’
or ‘stand out’ is enormous, and it often leads some students to make unwise choices in how they conduct themselves
and treat others. There is a set of life skills that are needed by middle and
high school students more then ever before.
The Importance Of Making The Right Choices And
Believing In Oneself
You can tell a
student to not to pick on someone or join in with the wrong crowd but when it comes down to crunch time, when they are faced
with peer pressure, it’s their feelings about themselves that are going to determine whether they make the right decision,
wouldn’t you agree?
What You Can Do To Help Raise Our Students’ Self-Esteem, Feelings Of Self Worth, And Their
Belief In Themselves
Students need specific skills and strategies to cope and deal with these challenges,
but a primary concern has to be…
“What can I do to
help encourage the right choices by our young adults?”
First,
we need to figure out a few broad concepts that if followed, will benefit our
young adults and help keep their lives on the right path. Cris Johnson has spent a LOT of time examining the lives of other
successful people, figuring out what they all had in common, and breaking those concepts down into simple, easy-to-understand
and undeniable nuggets of truth.
Three Important Beliefs That Our Youth MUST Adopt If They
Are Going To Be Successful
1. Always accept personal responsibility for your life.
During one of Cris' programs, he relates his own true story
of uphill battles and poor decisions. For a period of his life, Cris was actually homeless, and after finally taking
responsibility for his own decisions, he quickly turned his life around, got married, started his own
successful speaking/entertainment, bought a house and a new car, all within a very short period of time.
Cris doesn't relate these stories to brag, but instead to illustrate to your students how they can achieve
anything they want in life, as long as they accept responsibility for their lives. Cris feels that if he can
turn his life around after being homeless, anybody can succeed!
2.
You can do anything in life that you want as long as you believe in yourself.
Napoleon Hill said, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive, he can achieve.” This
is SO true, isn’t it? Yet, the sad truth is, that many kids are told daily that they can’t or won’t succeed…and
that they “never do anything right.”
Cris' programs will plant the seeds of confidence in students and help them to believe in themselves. His
programs will challenge the students to find their personal gifts and abilities and focus on who they are and what they can
become with their abilities..
3. Do your personal best and never give up.
This is a critical message for ANY age group, from pre-school on into adult hood! Let’s face it, you can try
your hardest and not succeed. This is something that our youth need to realize. But they must also understand the importance
of not giving up after a setback. They must keep trying if they are going to succeed.
Here’s How Cris' Topical Assembly Programs
Are Going To Benefit You And Your Students…
Cris has two
programs that will positively impact your students.
Program 1: Accepting Responsibility For YOUR Choices
“It’s
Your Choice, It’s Your Life” is designed to help our young people raise self-awareness and belief in
themselves. The ability to make the right choices and do their personal best is, of course, necessary for success
now and later in life.
“It’s
Your Choice, It’s Your Life” is 45 or 60 minutes in length (your choice) and is excellent for middle
and high school students.
During the program, Cris relates his own
story, how he overcame large obstacles to become successful, happy and well-adjusted.
Cris also gives your students a six-step process to getting anything they
want in life...by asking for it!
Through the use of humor, magic, audience participation and
relating personal experiences, the students will learn important life-changing messages of accepting responsibility for one's
own actions, the importance of never giving up and most critically, why believing in yourself matters most.
PLEASE NOTE: Cris has designed this program for MAXIMUM
flexibility, meaning he can also easily incorporate messages of:
-
Respect - how the "gang" and "thug"
mentality (perversely encouraged by the media) has trampled the true meaning of this word
-
Self-Esteem - simply put, how a
young person feels about themselves will dictate how they respond to peer pressure
-
Bullying - what to do, what not to do,
and why turning to a trusted, responsible adult authority figure is the smartest, safest choice!
-
The Importance Of Reading - Cris can
tie his program into the importance of reading. He uses two incredible true stories - one about an illiterate co-worker and
another about a famous athelete/TV personality to really drive home the impact of his message. He also has an incredibly effective
segment that deals with dyslexia...highlighted by magic!
-
7-Step "Success Formula"- used by famous
successful people such as Harland "Colonel" Sanders, this formula WILL bring ANYONE success...if they use it!
-
And much more!
Let Cris know what you want his program to focus on...and he'll deliver
it!
Program 2: Learn
How To Double What You Remember...In Half The Time
Cris' second
program is called “Develop Your Power Memory” and is 45 or 60 minutes in length (again, your choice). This
program is designed to teach your students new and easy ways to increase their memory and remember twice as much information
in half the amount of time.
How
in the world is this possible, you may ask? Well, once you fully comprehend something, the bulk of the work is remembering
concepts, facts, lists and so on. Over 90% of schoolwork is memory work!
Using
acronyms, mnemonics, visualization, rhyme and other techniques, your students will participate in an amazing, informative
program that will teach them powerful, useful skills that they can use for the rest of their lives!
Students
will actually be able to demonstrate during the program that they understand and remember the concepts. Cris also provides,
at no additional charge, handouts so the students remember what was covered during the talk.
Another hidden benefit is the
fact that your teachers’ jobs will be easier if your students can remember the information faster! Add to that the fact
that your teachers and staff will find these techniques incredibly helpful in their own lives, and you have the makings of
one of the most popular assembly programs to ever come to your school!
By
Combining Entertainment With Education, Students Are Very Receptive To These Ideas And Take Them To Heart
Why?
Just about every person on the planet remembers things better and longer if he or she is entertained while learning
it. After we see a popular movie or TV show, we might say to our friends, “You know, my favorite part of that was…”
That’s Cris' goal – he wants his audiences to be saying to themselves, “Wow!
The best part of that guy’s presentation was…” Cris guarantees that his ideas and concepts
will stick with your students long after he's gone because of the different presentational tools that he uses. Here
are a few:
Humor
& Laughter - People love to laugh! Cris' audiences are never bored during his presentations because he appeals to
their sense of humor. Nobody wants to be lectured and told what to do. It IS easier, however, to impart critical ideas to
people as you’re making them laugh. Important note: There is NO off-color language or anything offensive in his
programs! Everything Cris does is in good taste…guaranteed!
Magic – That’s right, magic! Not many speakers
use magic, but as stated earlier, Cris wants to grab students’ attention and hold it. With eye-popping and
amazing displays of magic, your students will be riveted. The best part? Anything Cris does with magic relates DIRECTLY
to his subject matter…in other words, it all has a point to it.
Audience Interaction – It’s nearly impossible not to have an interest in something
if you’re directly involved! During the program, Cris gets your group involved in fun ways
and even involves some students on stage for specific portions of the presentation!
Actual "Tools" To Use In Daily Life - The problem with
many speakers is this: they get your students fired up and feeling GREAT about themselves, but after the euphoria fades,
what then? In each of his programs, Cris gives your students step-by-step guides to success that, if followed and used
faithfully, guarantee success in life, in any area!
Personal
Experiences – In the speaking world, it’s a well-known fact that
stories of personal experience, perseverance and inspiration can serve as an effective way to illustrate a concept, rivet
an audience, and drive home an important point. Why? Most people are drawn to an “against the odds” story. It
works much better than statistics—they’re just numbers…but a true story has a real flesh and blood person
in it! They want to see how it will turn out! Therefore…Bingo! They’re hooked.
BOTH
of Cris' programs teach life skills our young adults will use to have a fulfilling experience in school and
life.
Cris' personal
guarantee is this:
"Long after the lights are off and the auditorium is empty, the students will remember my
words and the lessons I taught. I also guarantee I will be the easiest speaker
you will ever work with."
Since Cris is not a “famous” speaker, he also wants to remove ANY feelings of
risk you may have. Cris believes in his programs and more importantly, so do his past clients, so he's
more than happy to put his money where his mouth is and guarantee his programs.
"Better Than Money Back Guarantee"
Cris' guarantee is simple and straightforward.
If you’re not completely satisfied that his programs entertained your students while teaching them important life
concepts, you get 100% of your money back PLUS CRIS WILL DONATE $100.00 TO YOUR PTO/PTA
just for wasting your time.
Of course, we need to point out that in over
15 years, not ONE client has ever wanted to take Cris up on his guarantee.
With this guarantee, you have ZERO RISK. That's
a guarantee that's impossible to beat!
