Creating the Best Generation

In his presentation "Creating the Best Generation," Michael Karpovich discusses leadership, self-esteem, peer pressure, physical and emotional health, how to empower our selves and others, and finding strength from adversity. Michael believes that by cultivating self-esteem in others, then, in a contagious way, we can promote positive esteem and develop strong leadership that can permeate into our work, community, state, and country. In this informative and entertaining presentation, Michael will:

• Introduce the idea of excellence for children, families, communities and individuals.
• Propose the necessity of "capable individuals" for our hurting culture.
• Introduce methods to use to strive for excellence, passion and health and specific tools to help you feel personally and professionally capable.
• Empower you to take charge of your health and your family's health.

These events are free and open to the public. This presentation is suitable for everyone, including leaders, teachers, community members, and especially families with school-aged children. All are encouraged to attend. For more information, call 231-672-3968.
