If you have found yourself wondering what your students would like to hear about from their high school motivational speaker, we hope to help with some useful suggestions. Sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint a truly successful assembly topic, and even more stressful to find the right high school motivational speaker once your topic has been selected.
We want to guide you in the right direction, but we also want to remind you, no one knows your students better than you. In every school, there is a different culture, and you know yours best because you are a part of it. Here we will go over our favorite topics, and we hope to help you understand why we feel they are so important to present to your high school students.
Setting Goals and Making Good Choices with a High School Motivational Speaker
It may seem like a given that everyone needs to have goals to work towards, but not all of our youth is being motivated in this direction today. As a society, culture has evolved, and setting goals has been dropped by some along the way. Finding a high school motivational speaker who will challenge students to set a goal, and give them tools to work toward those goals is always a great topic to tackle. Another great topic is making “good choices” for yourself. Sometimes, a high school motivational speaker can encourage students to make good choices for themselves in a more impacting way, as they open their own book, and tell their own personal story. Students always appreciate honesty.
High School Motivational Speaker - Bullying and Good Character Education
Almost every youth can benefit from a high school motivational speaker who will tell them the effects bullying can have on a person. Sometimes it can be easy to ignore this issue, and dismiss the viral problem it is becoming. In some cases it can even be overplayed, causing a victim mentality. Finding a speaker who will find a good balance between addressing the problem and also challenging those being bullied to find self-worth will make a lasting impact in young hearts. You may also want to consider a high school motivational speaker who has a message encouraging good character and educating students in the traits that make up good character. It's so important to remember that not all students have had the opportunity to hear these basic moral and character lessons, but a great speaker will present it in a lasting way.
Suicide and Handling Adversity
These two topics may seem heavy for a high school motivational speaker to take on, but our youth are suffering in these areas more than ever. If they are not taught how to handle their daily struggles, they can be at risk for suicide, self-harm, or depression. It is vital to help high school students to understand they are not alone, and that they have support. Choosing to address these issues at an assembly might literally save a life. It's important to remember that most students hide their true feelings, and will rarely open up to someone they interact with on a daily basis, so bringing in a high school motivational speaker to encourage them in this area is a wonderful tool.
These are just a few of our favorite topics for a high school motivational speaker to present in high school assemblies. Be sure when choosing your topic that it is relevant to your students and that your key speaker loves what they do.
