Signature Keynote
Be The Star That You Are!
Empowering You to Make a Difference in Your World
Keynote: 45-60 minutes
In a world turned upside down, sometimes it seems that all around us is darkness. When surrounded by clowns and frowns, it is tough to see things clearly.
To counter this darkness, we need light, more light. And like the galaxies over our heads, the darkness dissipates when all the stars shine together.
Each and every one of us is a star. Our unique extraordinariness means that we have our own light to shine that no one else can offer. Often, though, we don’t recognize that we are a star, and our light is dim, or does not shine at all.
Trevor brings his signature keynote “Be The Star That You Are!” as a campaign to have all of our stars shine – together – to vanquish the darkness in our world.
Using his Seeing Stars framework, Trevor offers fresh perspectives to be comfortable with our own personal presence, uncover personal power, find balance from engaging and indulging in play, and discover our purpose and mission.
Together, we can shine our light, overcome darkness, and collectively make a difference in this world.
