Skills That Pay the Bills

• The path to success is a 4-year degree … or is it? By 2020, 10 million jobs will go unfilled because there are not enough people with the skills needed to fill them. For decades, we’ve told a story that places more value on a degree hanging on the wall than the skills needed to build that wall. As a result, we’ve created a “skills gap” that will impact all of us, from the cars we drive to the places we live and work. Peyton helps audience members understand how we fell into the gap and how we can move forward. From guiding companies to refresh their strategies for engaging the next generation of their workforce, to challenging individual members of society to change the conversations we have about education, Peyton helps the audience see how skill is not only a critical economic driver, but it is something that impacts each of our daily lives. Audience members will walk away with a new perspective on education and what skill truly means.

This keynote is ideal for any audience, but is particular helpful for corporate, educational, and community groups seeking to help their audience understand ALL avenues of education, the value of skilled labor, and practical steps we can take to ensure we have the skilled workforce we all depend on.

Mentorship

Peyton often combines this keynote with his 4 C’s of Life and Leadership (below) to help illustrate the power of these 4 principles to elevate a mentor relationship.

This keynote is ideal for corporate, non-profit, community, and educator organizing groups.

The 4 C’s of Life and Leadership

• Clarity. Courage. Commitment. Character. In a time when students and professionals alike are struggling to find their place in work and life or may be losing the “spark” they once had, implementing these four C’s can have a profound impact on an individual’s ability to own who they are and lead with integrity. Participants will experience the power of developing clarity in their dreams and passions, develop strategies to find the courage to pursue those passions, and learn the strength of commitment while acting with the utmost character. Peyton anchors this keynote with an incredibly powerful and moving story of a kid that was too fat for football and, what seemed, almost everything else in his life. The audience will experience an emotional and impactful journey through this kid and a life-changing experience that enabled him to find passion and purpose in his life through these very principles.

This keynote is ideal for any group. It can be tailored to students, corporate audiences, individuals seeking to overcome challenges in their lives, and more.

4 Pillars

• Gallop surveyed 10,000 people across America to help answer the question of what people looked for in a leader. Four words rose to the top: Trust, Compassion, Stability, and Hope. Peyton helps ground participants in the importance of these four pillars of leadership and allows them to understand what they look like as they are implemented in the classroom or workplace. With a major transition occurring in the workforce, from boomers to millennials, much of the tension that arises in the workplace stems from concerns around ethics, responsibility, and accountability. At the end of the day, the root of those conversations lies in people’s ability to establish the four pillars amongst their team. This presentation will walk your team through that uncovering process and leave them with a stronger sense of teamwork, improved tools for communication, and a greater sense of unity.

Ideal for corporate and student audiences.
