Man-Making

Men Helping Boys on Their Journey to Manhood

For this keynote I will customize the content from the Man-Making book to fit the needs, interests, and audience at your meeting. Just some of the themes we can combine into a high impact and motivational program include:

• The ancient job description of Man-Maker that is hardwired into men... whether they realize it or not.


• The man-hunger for mentors hardwired into adolescent males... and what happens to them when the men don't show up.


• The barriers that insulate men from the gifts waiting for them in man-making activities, and how they can reclaim the missing pieces of their masculine esteem by stepping forward to help a boy or boys.


• The many different ways men can easily have a positive and supportive influence in boy's lives.


• The women in the audience will learn how to encourage the men in their lives to become man-makers, and where to find good men to mentor their boys.


• Most importantly, I can insure that by the end of the program, every man present, regardless of his level of commitment to this work, will have identified a number of personally comfortable actions he can take in the service to boys.

If experience is any predictor, there is little question this keynote will be a transformational experience for the people in your audience that care about boys.
