SPEAKING
Our society is hungry for a real conversation about what stops us from intervening in critical moments of time to support, take care of, and protect someone in need. In other words: to show courageous leadership.
We want to be built up and not torn down — to have our dignity honored and to honor the value and worth of others.
We desire cultures of integrity that provide workability, performance, and trust.
Mike Dilbeck is the one to bring out these conversations and to raise them to a new level.
He's not a therapist. He's not a psychologist. He's not an academician. He's a filmmaker-turned-advocate who works with people to show courageous leadership, honor the dignity of every human, and operate with integrity. He is just a real human being leading a real conversation designed to inspire us, empower us, and move us to action.
There are several programs to create a conversation with your campus, community or company. While these are topics suitable for any age group and all roles in life, Mike will work with you to customize this message based on the demographics of your audience.
Three Related but Distinct Topics
COURAGE
We must have a new form of leadership — courageous leadership — where we empower others to stand up, step in, and speak out on behalf of others, letting them know that they matter...because they do.
DIGNITY
We must always honor the inherent value and worth of every human. We must empower ourselves to lift people up rather than tear them down. We must honor the dignity of others...and ourselves.
INTEGRITY
We must always operate with integrity as our access to greater efficiency, performance, and trust. Discover a whole new relationship to integrity and doing what you said you will do...no matter what!
