Before he knew what a motivational speaker was, Dennard Mitchell knew that it was his calling. Despite childhood challenges that may cause some to veer off course, Mitchell harnessed the disappointment and used it to create a flourishing motivational speaking enterprise aimed primarily at youth and young adults.
The husband and father of two said that two post-college career paths solidified his desire to motivate youth for a living. His involvement with a network marketing company not only helped him to hone his public speaking skills, but awakened in him a passion for the craft. And his employment at a funeral home provided a surreal reminder of just how precious life is.
“The mere fact that a lot of people were dying, especially young people, caused me to think, it would be great if I could speak to them while they’re alive to help them to prevent some of the poor choices they’re making and empower them to live, says Dennard.”
Supreme Teens is a book that all teenagers can identify with. In this small yet powerful e-book, teens will get great advice about life, overcoming obstacles, and living a life of happiness as a teenager with a click of a button. Whether it’s realizing your purpose, believing in yourself, or becoming a leader, this book gives teens all of that and more.
Mitchell’s most recent addition to his programming repertoire is Mediocre to Magnificent, a 45 minute interactive presentation that provides youth with the tools to deal with several different areas, from understanding the power of taking action to embracing their uniqueness.
“I’ve always enjoyed talking to people and encouraging people. I didn’t know it was a passion and something that I could work at and make a living with until I got older.” Mitchell’s message is getting attention.
In addition to speaking to youth at a variety of schools and community programs throughout the South Florida area, he is a much sought after speaker and has shared his message across the country.
Although his youth motivational enterprise is in demand across the nation, Mitchell feels a special obligation to the youth of South Florida.
