Kristen Greaves

In this keynote/presentation, Kristen opens up about some of the struggles he faced during his younger years and how he has been able to use those setbacks as a means of building him stronger, so that he can have a positive impact in the world. For many youths today they think that when faced with adversity on the road to their dreams/aspirations, that it is a sign to stop and to give up. When this happens, person’s often try to keep things inside, without expressing how they truly feel to anyone. Due to this, many persons start journeying through life suffering in silence, and performing at a lesser level than their optimal potential. Colleges, universities and schools often bring Kristen in to speak on this topic because he has a way of empowering his audience to always rise above no matter the difficulties they face, as adversity is a part of the success journey.

In this keynote/workshop, Kristen first emphasises to young leaders that leadership must always start at a “me” level but must end at a “we” level. He believes that before seeking to lead others, one must first master the art of leading their own life. This is the “me” level of leadership. The “we” level is where leaders place greater emphasis on raising those who they are leading to a higher level. In many organizations, much emphasis is placed on achieving goals and objectives . But, this is usually done at the expense of good leadership and interrelationships between teams. Consequently, more persons start to experience burn out and frustration. Thus, this is where the REESE’S concept comes in. The acronym REESE’S is a concept that explains how young leaders can start having major impact both on their teams and in the marketplace.

Have you ever placed your time and energy into something (a relationship, a career, a goal), then to only realize later on that it was only draining you more than fulfilling you? If you have, then you know how stressful, stifling and discouraging that can be. You see, constantly holding on to things in our lives which are like energy drainers can ultimately hinder us from growing to our ultimate potential. It can also lead to burnout. However, life isn’t meant to be that way. You weren’t made just to barely survive. You were made to thrive. Constantly holding on to things in your life which no longer serves you, is a clear indication that you may need a reset. In this keynote/presentation, Kristen teaches the strategies required to take one’s life to the next level. This presentation will leave attendees with a renewed sense of purpose, mental stimulation and inspiration to operate at a higher and more efficient level.
