College Speaking, College Speakers, College Speaks, University Speaker Series

Ever since I began speaking back in 1991 (18 years ago) to underprivileged, impoverished, and imprisoned persons; my heart was immediately gripped by the attentiveness with which my audience responded to my messages.

 

Let me tell you, speaking to impoverished people and children is no easy task. They can see through insincerity and hogwash in a heartbeat. Conversely, they can also quickly connect with heartfelt sincerity and a man who has personally overcome adversity.

 

Within the Orlando prison at 33rd Street, I gained clearance and access through my local church; which gave me total liberty to round up inmates and speak to them about personal empowerment and a wide array of other topics. The response of the inmates was tremendous. Honestly, I was blown away and had no idea they would be so eager and attentive when I spoke.

 

A correctional officer told, “They aren’t usually like this for the other speakers that come through here. They really like you!”

 

This is how my speaking career. When I discovered that I wasn’t like “all the other speakers” and had a speaking gift of my own, I began to take speaking seriously. Who would have thought as a speaker that I would learn to blossom among the poor and within a prison? Yet as I reflect over the course of my speaking career, I cannot honestly think of a better place for a speaker to speak forth life into the lives of people. Speakers are to bring unconditional love and resurrecting life to people. That is what speaking is about in simplicity. As a speaker I awaken, impart hope, and impact people.

 

Beyond being excited about exciting and the amazing results it can bring in the lives of people, I am impregnated with purpose so that wherever I go and to whomever I speak sudden changes occur. My wife of three years can attest to that! Karla’s life has been revolutionized since we got married. Within three years Karla has written three books and is pioneering a new frontier in college speaking. I’ve seen and heard a lot of speakers throughout the world, but Karla has a unique speaking gift that is very special (and I’m not just complementing her because she is my wife). Karla’s speaking ability was one of the many things that attracted me to her. 

 

Long before I met Karla I was a fiery trailblazer going where no man had dared to go. I’ve been to over 50 countries, more than 50 islands, and 6 continents thus far speaking life into the people of the world.

 

Upon leaving Orlando and going overseas, I was met with the same cheerful exuberance by countless crowds of people throughout the nations of the world to which I traveled. Even more so the majority of the time as no speakers had ever dared to travel to many of these impoverished and war-torn nations. People within these lands were desperate for a word of encouragement from a motivational speaker.

 

Once I realized my words carried weight, were penetrating hearts, and changing lives; I began to put my spoken words in book form to further multiply the impact of my message. Again the response was phenomenal.

 

Quite frankly being a successful speaker is a humbling experience for three reasons. The first is as you speak to a crowd, you pull from your own life experiences, which you often purposefully revisit to help others. The second is you are continually amazed at how your own personal hardships and struggles were divinely designed to bring you to the place where you are today to help others. Thirdly as a speaker it is awe inspiring to see people hang on your every word and simultaneously a huge responsibility, because you may be breathing the last word of hope into somebody’s heart who is facing overwhelming odds and life threatening circumstances.

 

I therefore take speaking extremely seriously and equate speaking to my former job of a lifeguard when I was in college. As a college youth I served as a lifeguard at several water parks and at a city lake over the course of a few years. Speaking like lifeguarding is such that you have to always be alert, keep your eyes open, and be attentive to the crowd of people before you.

 

Upon returning to the college circuit, my speaking flourished because overseas college students celebrated me the most and were those who most deeply resonated with my messages. College speakers carry something special for college students during that pivotal and transitional time of their lives, while they are in preparation for something greater in the future.

 

College speaks volumes to me in retrospect, because those were transformative years for me. College speaks truth and reality to the hearts of students experientially merely by the fact kids are no longer living under mom and dad’s roof and now must be more accountable to care for themselves. College speaks fresh joys, experiences, and challenges of all sorts and sizes. College speaks a dynamic social life that must be wisely balanced with academic pursuits, which shall prove to be the professional foundation for one’s future.

 

As a highly requested speaker within the university speaker series of lecturers frequenting universities and colleges worldwide, college speaking can be very demanding as the time traveling can be exhausting for some less experienced speakers.

 

College speaking is not just something we do for fun and forget about thereafter. The true college speaker carries a heartfelt burden for students and is a warrior in heart, knowing his or her message will impact, transform, and potentially save the lives of impressionable college students.

 

That being said I take college speaking very seriously, exercise regularly to strengthen my body for the demands of global travel, and devour books on an ongoing basis (when I’m not also writing books – and I’m the author of 18 books to date) to prepare myself to deliver the highest energy and richest content possible to impact every college and university to whom I speak.

Better Grades & Higher GPA: Generate Power Academically (GPA)

Here are a few secrets to I share with college students throughout the world to improve their GPA, that is to Generate Power Academically:

1. Remember why you are studying.

School is a pathway and bridge to dream fulfillment. It is not the totality of your life, nor should it be allowed to fully define your life. Nevertheless the reality is good grades reveal an aspect about your life, how disciplined you are or are not. Therefore school is a place to build mental muscle and show off.

Approach academics with this mindset realizing that you are a student today, but tomorrow a prospective employee who shall be seeking a job with resume in hand. Your grades (or lack thereof) will be a signal to your future employer as to the quality of your character, extent of your skills, and depth of your mental acumen.

2. Say no to that which is good to wholeheartedly attend to that which is best.

Earnestly hold to your academic focus remembering that it will pay mighty dividends to you by way of future professional opportunities and even scholarships (if you do well) academically. Hence scoring high marks in school can save you financially, while simultaneously catapulting you forward professionally.

3. Show me your friends and I will show you your future.

The only way to elevate yourself and go to the next level economically in life is by way of the people you associate with and the books you read. Cultivating intelligence, wisdom and skill will empower you to live your dreams. To neglect to do so will abandon you with purposeless people on a dead end street leading to destruction.

Before dismissing the importance of education, take a check up from the neck up, reevaluate your ideas, and regain your focus.

Student Success, Academic Success & Your GPA

The greatest misnomer is to think students’ GPA is indicative of their intelligence. Nothing is farther from the truth.

Some of the smartest people I know scored poorly on tests, not because these students weren’t smart, but because they were lazy and refused to study. Hence their grades were also low in keeping with their laziness and lack of focus.

Your GPA points to your focus and ability to stay on target, on point with your academic curriculum. Many intelligent people enjoy the challenge of an SAT, ACT or college entrance exam. These same intelligent students however often find school terribly boring and monotonous. This explains their high standardized test scores and low GPA.

You don’t always have to study to score high on a standardized test if you somewhat listen daily and attend class. Yet to earn a high GPA you have to turn in daily classwork, do your homework, and study for exams. These demands are rigorous and require ongoing focus, something many intelligent people don’t have.

Therefore your GPA reveals your level of focus, consistency, and intensity academically.

Healthy relationships secrets to help you be healthy and whole. Never fear losing a relationship. Respect yourself and never hold on to a relationship too tight.

As a counselor and minister who hears countless relationships stories and helps people sort through their relationship challenges, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly people compromise their soul and lose a healthy level of self respect within a relationship.

Self respect is the most vital component within a healthy relationship, without which any relationship (be it personal or professional) will rapidly erode. Whenever you allow yourself to be cheapened and your personhood lessened so as to maintain a relationship with somebody you love, you simultaneously lessen your love for yourself. Without a healthy and proper amount of self love, you quickly can become a doormat and begin to tolerate unnecessary abuse within relationships.

Relational abuse and being taken for granted within a relationship subtly occurs when you lower your standards and stop standing up for yourself. When you quietly tolerate poor behavior and allow people to talk down to you, indirectly (often unbeknownst to yourself) you send a message loud and clear saying that such abuse is alright.

Early on in most relationships a healthy level of respect is the foundational cornerstone, without which there would be no progression, trust, and embracing of one another. In the business world, once trust and a likeness of vision is established, many begin to move in the same direction. When subordination and dehumanization begins to subtly occur however, that is the time to quickly and powerfully address such a character dwarfing tendency, lest it occur more frequently and begin to consistently devalue you as a person.

Unfortunately many find themselves in such unhealthy relationships, but acquiesce for a time because they are not secure in their own identity and fear losing what relationship they have (even though deep down they know it is not healthy and quite frankly bad).

It pains me to see such relationships wherein someone (usually the woman, but not always) is being violated and taken advantage of. The action step that immediately needs to occur to turn the tide is to begin again to respect and stand up for yourself.

Refuse to tolerate being talked down to and disrespected.

As you do, you will reframe the perimeters and expectations within your relationship. By doing so, transformation and a relational restructuring may very well occur as hearts and minds are properly brought back in check and self respect is restored.

If such confrontation does not produce a relational correction, know assuredly it may be time to move on. Guard your heart and life before you find yourself being further dominated and brought under endless strife (both internal and relational).

Love and respect yourself even if nobody else does. Remember you will attract what you are.

Therefore teach people how to respect you and let everyone know what you expect. Truly you can have more in relationships if you refuse to settle for anything less.

College Student Leadership Success Secrets: Choosing, Serving & Leading Student Campus Associations

My alma mater UCF has a huge amount of student clubs, organizations, associations, fraternities, and sororities. Honestly such an overwhelming amount of social, organizational, and leadership opportunities can be down right mind boggling.

Invite worldwide speaker and life-changing author Paul F. Davis to speak to your college students about success secrets, breakthrough leadership & academic success!
RevivingNations@yahoo.com

If you’re anything like me, you may need some simple steps to help you consider when to begin on your college campus when considering joining a club, organization, or student association.

Here are some secrets for college student success that will serve you when choosing a club, organization, or association.

1. Choose a group based on your personal interests and inner affinity.

Don’t be enamored by the biggest and the loudest group on campus. The most vocal club, organization, or association may not particularly be the ideal fit for you. If big parties and all night craziness is your thing, than perhaps so. However most of us will probably want a little more than just the social element to a college student club, organization, or association.

I suggest reading each club, organization, and association’s vision and mission statement. UCF has an easy to use, college student friendly website at the student union where much of this information can be accessed and easily browsed through.

If your campus isn’t as internet savvy and friendly, visit your student union and get any printouts with such student club, organization, and association information. Every college and university is different, so inquire as to what is available on your campus.

Then based upon your major, interests, hobbies, and desirable career choose a club, organization, or association that works for you.

2. Be friendly, helpful, and listen attentively.

Avoid walking into any club, organization, or association and projecting yourself as the know-it-all. Such a person is rarely welcomed and often immediately ostracized, if not down right alienated from any meaningful interaction.

Enter as the new kid on the block with a heart to help, serve in any capacity, and listen attentively. This attitude and heart will serve you well and always compel people to be friendly to you, while also propelling you to the top because you are likable.

Pleasantries go a long way when pursuing purposeful living with people. Arrogance and pride conversely will kill any momentary progress you may have made and quickly jade and persuade people to turn against you.

Therefore choose to be the likable guy or girl, who is friendly, helpful, and willing to serve however you can.

3. Learn from others older and more polished than yourself.

As I’ve always said, show me your friends and I will show you your future. Association leads to assimilation, both academically and professionally. This is why doctors have to do internships before they begin their professional practice. Being around a skilled and established professional undoubtedly will rub off on you and cause you to learn and pick up things you otherwise would never learn.

Observation and association lead to skillful and professional assimilation, which books alone can never accomplish. Knowledge does not equal know-how. Therefore who you know, esteem, associate, and interact with is extremely important to ensure you continued personal growth and success.

Therefore serve quality people when they surface in your midst. Honor, respect, and nurture relationships with winners who have the ability to impart truths and skill sets to further your own success. Walk with winners and be enlarged to live your dreams and fulfill your destiny.

Remember when the tide of the sea goes up, all ships in the harbor together rise. Therefore do not be intimidated by others success. Honor, celebrate, and learn from those who have preceded you and proven themselves to be successful.

Success can be taught, caught, and generatively passed along like a baton in the decathlon.

Happily put these 3 powerful college student success secrets to immediate use and your life will soon be moving magnificently to the next level.

I look forward to hearing from you concerning your recent success stories and vision for the future.

Academic Success: College Student Success Secrets, Make Better College Grades & Graduate W/ Honor

When I came home from my 6th grade science class with a D on my progress report, my father decided to take out the belt and apply some pressure to my backside to increase understanding up above.

Invite worldwide speaker and life-changing author Paul F. Davis to speak to your college students about academic success secrets and breakthrough leadership!
RevivingNations@yahoo.com
407-967-7553

My father rarely had to spank me, because I quickly and respectfully responded. I didn’t particular enjoy being beaten. Nevertheless somehow it did the trick and compelled me to learn and master academic success.

How farther ahead I would have been had a parent or teacher actually taken the time to sit down with me and teach me proper study habits. Unfortunately, I can honestly say that throughout my entire academic years in elementary school, middle school, high school, college, Bible school, and graduate school nobody… that is right… absolutely nobody ever bothered to teach students how to make better grades, excel academically, and achieve academic success.

Yet schools, colleges, and parents are quick to discipline students who fail below average and don’t make the desirable grades in school. Ironically, educators who think themselves to be so wise rarely think past their nose to teach students how to learn, process information, memorize vital info for tests, and strategically take tests with success in mind.

Therefore it should be no surprise so many fail and become disenchanted with the educational system as a whole. Those who master it tend to come out as cookie-cutter conformists who on occasion rough up and look down upon anybody who does not fit the educational mold.

As for me however, I was the class clown, a non-conformist, who was equally intelligent and yes, very sarcastic. I liked to ask my teachers, instructors, and professors the hard and challenging questions, the ones most students wanted to ask, but didn’t have the guts to do so.

Hence evolved my academic success secrets unbeknownst to me.

1. Cultivate intellectual curiosity and don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions.

When you are genuinely and creatively thinking, unique and hard questions will arise to challenge the status quo. This is how every major breakthrough historically has occurred for humanity from Thomas Edison to Albert Einstein; Benjamin Franklin to Henry Ford; the Wright brothers to Bill Gates.

When most said not so, these men said why not? When others laughed and scorned them for their creative ideas, they masterminded their brilliance and successfully acted upon their ideas to transform life as we know it (and make millions and billions of dollars in the process).

2. Respect and uphold your teachers / educators / professors, even when you disagree with them and have to swallow your pride.

No matter what anybody tells you, educators have egos just like anybody else. In fact, perhaps moreso. They like to be right and have the power via the grades they give you, to tell you you’re wrong.

Keep in mind most educators are specialists, which means they often think only in terms of their subject and not much more. This can make them rigid and frigid by nature if they are not careful. Nevertheless if you want to curry favor with them and make the grades you desire, you need them on your side and want to be careful not to rub them the wrong way. That being said, beware also of over doing it and coming across as if you are trying to patronize them.

3. Be steady, respectful, consistent, and diligent in doing your work daily.

Educators like disciplined students who obey instructions, follow rules, and complete assigned tasks. Despite the motivation (and some speculate they like to feel powerful and tell you what to do), as a college student you must trust the academic process.

Remember the karate kid (movie) did not understand why he was painting fence and waxing cars, when he had asked his dojo master to teach him martial arts.

4. Trust the process and be patient.

When he finally exploded and couldn’t endure the hard work (what he seemed to be cruel labor) any longer, the “karate kid’s” mentor revealed to him how each movement in the painting and car waxing applied to the martial arts he was teaching him. These moves were just hidden beneath the laborious work he was performing.

Suddenly the light bulb came on for the karate kid and he embraced the teaching methodology of his master. College students often easily anger at their professors and advisors, often wondering and questioning what the point is of many classes and required curriculum. Nevertheless when you put it all together collectively, once these disciplines are fully learned, you have a mighty foundation upon which to stand upon as you enter your academic discipline and career of choice.

5. Discover what type learner you are.

We all process information differently: some visually, others audibly, than some kinesthetically.

Knowing your learning style will enable you to study adequately accordingly as you adjust your approach to processing information and knowledge.

Whenever I study, I like to read the material out loud (as did President Abraham Lincoln) to introduce the material to me audibly as well as visually. I discovered the more senses I can get fully engrossed in the material, the more likely it is I will learn and remember it.

This proved to be true as I went in 6th grade from being a D student to scoring a 100% on my next two science exams in which I had to locate all of the bones of the body and spell each correctly.

As I buried myself in the anatomy book, being but 10 years old in the sixth grade, I visually processed the location of the bones of the body. Thereafter I covered the names of these bones with a piece of paper and started quiz myself.

Then I verbally sounded out each bone by name as I progressively memorized each. It took some time, but one by one, I eventually learned each bone by name. Next I would repeat the same process when it came to spelling these bones correctly.

By merging auditory and visual learning together simultaneously, I mastered and aced that science test and earned the most improved student award that year for my science teacher.

When my father years later would try the belt on my younger brother to compel him to improve his grades, it didn’t work. Hence what made the difference was my heartfelt commitment to education, personal improvement, and pain avoidance.

Most importantly however, what drove my academic success and sudden transformation was the discovery of how to process, communicate, and retain information. Somehow serendipitously (or by way of the fear of survival and avoidance of the belt) I figured out how to drive home meaningful information into my brain until I remembered it.

6. Celebrate your success.

When you succeed academically, be sure to reward yourself. My father took great pride in my success and began taking me to breakfast every morning before school. It became a tradition of ours and a time for us to have father & son heartfelt talks.

Find some way therefore to celebrate yourself after you have worked hard and succeeded academically. Studying is hard work and afterward you need some form of relief and personal enjoyment.

When I took the four hour law school admissions test, I was ready to go to the beach afterward. I didn’t want to see or look at a book. Therefore after you work and study hard, reward yourself, and celebrate your success.

7. Make friends with intelligent people.

Show me your friends and I will show you your future.

Birds of a feather flock together. Therefore if you want to be bright, associate with others who are more bright than you. They will teach you things. You will hear their conversation and discover their intellectual pursuits, while learning how they process information to achieve academic success.

Improving your friends, choosing those who don’t curse and use more intellectual language, will force you to become more well versed and skillful at communication. Undoubtedly this will advance you greatly academically and in the future professionally. Communication is a vital component and key to success in any field.

Know that some things are not taught, but rather caught through conversation and observation as you participate in meaningful interactions with high caliber people.

Put these 7 success secrets to work for you and you will be a college student on your way to great success and extraordinary achievement.

College Students First Year Experience and Students in Transition: College Student Success Secrets

Entering college as a first year student can be both intimidating and a bit challenging. When I entered Valencia Community and UCF, I made the mistake of not attending the orientation for new students. Little did I know there would be some extremely helpful information to help me get acquainted with the college and University.

Looking back in retrospect, I would have definitely attended welcome week and orientation. Thankfully when I attended the FAMU College of Law orientation day, I became acquainted with the professors, deans, and the spirit of the college. It made the transition much more easier and far less intimidating.

Let’s face it making a transition, no matter what life transition it may be, is never easy. Transitioning into college as a new incoming student (whether you are fresh out of high-school, a transfer student from a community college, a graduate student, or seeking further professional career development) can be a bit daunting and overwhelming.

The social element too can be a bit alienating, as not knowing anybody on a college campus can leave you feeling alone. That is precisely why colleges and universities encourage new college students to attend orientation week.

I guess because I lived about an hour drive away from the college and university I attended, I never allowed myself to wholeheartedly integrate, participate, nor embrace the college experience. Truly I regret missing this great opportunity. Yet I did graduate from community college with a 3.8 GPA and UCF Cum Laude. So I certainly succeeded academically, but the social element was never fully developed, nor the professional relational component on campus maximized.

That is why I am writing this for new incoming college students. I want you to not make the same mistake I made early on by blowing off and not going to the orientation. Although some of the information you receive at orientation may not be exceedingly life-changing, the relationships you will make can be very reassuring and sustaining throughout your time at college (thereby life-changing on the long-term).

It has been said it is not always what you know, but who you know. This is quite true. Therefore be open to attending orientation when you begin college. If you are academically focused like me and trying to avoid social distractions, consider attending orientation at least to meet the college President, deans, student advisors, and some professors.

The transition from high-school into college was the best thing I ever did, as it pertains to my professional development and personal growth. I went from boyhood to manhood, where I embraced responsibility, cultivating success, and being proactive pertaining to my purpose and future career.

Amazingly, I went from a 2.8 GPA to becoming an A and B+ student. My only regret is I became so academically focused (blazing through college and University in 3 years, thanks to summer school where I took 15 hours, a full load two summers in a row) that I forgot the social element and cultivating meaningful relationships.

Therefore listen to me and when transitioning into college and university, take time to attend orientation and meet the college faculty, staff, and students on your campus.
