Keynote: Sam Demma
Friday morning, and Saturday morning
At 22 years old, entrepreneur, youth coach, and keynote speaker Sam Demma doesn’t let his age define his drive or credibility. His goal is to provide people of all ages with the tools and strategies they need to become the change-makers in their schools, businesses, communities, and in the lives of those around them. And it all started with...garbage. At the age of 17 he co-founded PickWaste, a grassroots initiative that brings people together to pick up trash in their communities. That experience confirmed to him how small actions can have a big impact, and he lives that message in all he does. In a few short years his inspiring and entertaining presentations have reached thousands of students across Canada and his High Performing Student program has made a difference for young people in 6 countries around the world. He’s delivered two TEDx talks, he is the youngest Board Director of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and there’s no limit to where small actions will take this big thinker.
Keynote Description:
Your actions matter. You’re making a huge impact. Your role in education is similar to a gardener. You plant seeds, water them and sometimes don’t see them grow. Sometimes it takes 15 years before a student reaches out to tell you how much of an impact you had on them.
Sam’s teacher, Michael Loudfoot, changed his life. He believed in Sam when Sam stopped believing in himself. You have the opportunity with the students in your classroom. Through this keynote, Sam shares what Mr. Loudfoot did that made him buy into his lessons and leadership. You and your colleagues will leave this session remembering why you started teaching years ago.
