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.
Dennard is available for interviews and appearances. For booking presentations, media appearances, and interviews contact Kadira Long at kadira@dennardmitchell.com

Building Self-Esteem in Teens
Encourage your teens to:
1. Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about themselves.
If they are accustomed to focusing on their shortcomings, encourage them to start thinking about positive aspects of themselves that outweigh them. When they catch themselves being too critical, encourage them to counter it by saying something positive about themselves. Each day, have them to write down three things about themselves that make them happy. (A great tool is to have your students write in a personal journal daily and encourage them to review it on a regular basis.)
2. View mistakes as learning opportunities.
Encourage your teens to accept that they will make mistakes because everyone does. Mistakes are part of learning. Remind them that a person's talents are constantly developing, and everyone excels at different things - it's what makes people interesting.
3. Exercise and Laugh!
Encourage your teens to exercise and laugh as much as they can. Exercise and laughter will relieve stress, build self-esteem, and help your students be healthier and happier. (Tips: watching comedy movies, playing sports, hanging out with positive friends, play great board games.)
