YOUR Story: Authoring a life story through FFA

If you were reading a story about your life in twenty years, what would the pages include? Would it be a comedy, drama, mystery or science fiction?  Is your story written through your actions or your attitude? As a former state FFA officer and American FFA degree recipient,  Michele understands the opportunity to be an author every time you zip up your jacket - and in every day life as a teenager. She'll help you discover these truths in your life story.

You are enough. Hold yourself accountable to being 100% you.

Opportunity is created through the people you surround yourself with and the choices you make. Choose wisely.

Ugly moments create life’s rainbows. Learn from adversity - we all face it.

Reward is not in titles or trophies, but in impact and inspiration. Touch hearts through your story.

You can't control the past or predict the future - trying to do so only removes you from the one thing you can control - the present. What are you doing today to craft a story you want to read? Trophies and accolades don't write the "right" story; holding yourself to unrealistic standards can diminish your story. Fight back against the inner critic and challenge unrealistic standard.  Sitting in the back of the room and ignoring opportunities also does not write the "right" story, but does make you bitter. Face your fears and get involved where it matters. 

Michele is a professional speaker who started her speaking dream on a stage of the Michigan FFA Convention in a Greenhand speaking contest. Since those days, she has raised million of dollars to support the National FFA Foundation and has authored two books helping people understand agriculture, so she can offer a unique perspective on what takes to write a meaningful story.  Michele will move FFA members to not only write their story, but also tell agriculture's best story through their life.

She's ready to inspire FFA members to craft a story of impact, inspiration and innovation.  This motivational keynote will help FFA members learn:

• Why ambition and talent mean nothing without execution; put in the work with consistent effort. Every day.

• How time is your most valuable asset; invest it accordingly as you write your story.

• Ways actions speak louder than words; hold yourself accountable to inspiring others even in the face of adversity.

• Why leadership skills have everything to do with your relationships and little to do with titles or trophies
• Techniques to telling your own story; your voice is so important to agriculture

Michele has motivated thousands of people through touching hearts to move minds. Contact her today this new keynote to your FFA members!
