Triumph Over Tragedy (Youth/Adults)
Bobby’s life changing story is one of personal triumph . . . instilling hope and courage in all of us. One night he went to bed in suburban America, a happy man with a loving wife. When he woke up dazed in his dining room, his wife was dead and his life forever changed! The pickup truck that crashed through his bedroom wall was driven by a man who was nearly twice legally drunk. His Triumph Over Tragedy will change your life!

10 Seconds: The Power of One Decision (Youth/Adults)
Discover the power of one decision. Learn how each choice either strengthens or weakens your foundation. Things don’t just happen. The habits, patterns, and decisions of everyone impact our entire world. Learn how to build a strong foundation one brick, one decision at a time!

“Virtue Reality” (Youth/Adults)
Have we lost our edge? What happened to the essentials of good character? For us to be successful, we must return to Virtue Reality consisting of Responsibility, Courage, Compassion, Loyalty, Honesty, Hard Work, Self-discipline, Persistence, Faith, and Friendship. An exciting character building program as it inspires the virtues in all of us.

Davey will elaborate on a lot of the lessons he shared in his episode of The Harbor – what he’s learned from being adopted, seeing his family go through divorce, living in a single-family home, drug abuse, depression, etc. Although his assemblies will discuss some serious topics, Davey will also focus more on how we can find the shovel to dig ourselves out of our rut; how we can find that thing we’re so passionate about that it will see us through all of our hardships. Whether it be music (as in David’s case), art, sports, or just stepping outside of our comfort zone and working hard at something we want – Davey feels we can all find a way to help ourselves and then lend a helping hand to others.

Davey was a tremendous speaker and an inspiration to the students.  We used him as our kick-off to our anti-bullying theme for the year, which is “Overcoming Adversity”.  The students and staff could not be more complimentary to Davey and his presentation.  The kids were totally taken by his words and appreciated his candor.  You know a presentation is good, when a large amount of students stay behind to meet the speaker and take pictures even  though they would be late for lunch.  Davey is a wonderful and a true inspiration to us all. – Rick Delmnonaco – Arthur L. Johnson High School (Clark Public Schools)

Davey really connected with our students, especially our most at risk. We have brought in speakers each year and most of our seniors said that they liked Davey the best (or second best next to Mike Smith). We are a diverse school and Davey’s message was on point. Highly recommend him to any school that is super diverse or that has a high at risk population. Kristin Murphy – Mountain View High School

I wanted to share with you the impact he had on my daughter. She is a freshman at Blue Valley High School. She is a really great kid and gets a lot of grief for the fact that she is a “goody-goody”. It’s not often that she attends an assembly that stops her in her tracks. She has not stopped talking about Mr. Muise. His story truly impacted her. I just thought you should know. Marie King – Parent Blue Valley High School

Davey did a phenomenal job speaking to the students in the large group and the small groups. He held their attention and really hit home with a lot of the students. We received nothing but positive feedback from faculty and students at both high schools. It was wonderful to have him speak to the small classes and really interact with the students.

TEEN AND YOUNG ADULT PROGRAMS

Deal With It!
This dynamic leadership program combines humor with a thought-provoking message that shows everyone that we CAN achieve dreams. However, Harriet doesn’t give participants unrealistic hope. Just because “We dream it,” does NOT automatically mean “We achieve it!” By reinforcing the concept that we all possess personal power, participants learn that they are in charge of their choices, but they don’t always get to choose the consequences. Learning how to cope with failure, and trying again are integral components of this program. Harriet leads participants in a “Get real and go for it” journey. Believing in themselves, developing character and living a balanced life are important concepts. This “take charge” program gives inspiration and energy to everyone attending.

Peacemakers In A Violent World
In recent years, homes, schools and communities have become increasingly more violent. Gone are the days of fighting with fists; now more powerful weapons are used. If you want to transform yourself, break the bonds of violence and build the future for others, you need to hear this program. Harriet will give you skills and attitudes that can positively change a non-caring community into a productive one. Conflict resolution, anger management, bullying and creative problem solving are included in this hard-hitting, no-holds barred program.

Are You Dying For A Drink?
In America, drinking and driving is a leading cause of death for youth ages 15 to 19. Speed, reckless driving and non-use of safety belts are all contributing factors. Using her experience, Harriet combines knowledge, humor and real life stories to encourage students to buckle up, not ride with a drinking driver and, most importantly, to “party with style”. (Partying and style do NOT equal consuming ANY alcohol or other substances.) This program is excellent for Prom week.

Why Do I Feel So Fat?
Looking “perfect” is something many young women strive for. In today’s society, the media project body images young women try to buy into. Commonly, young women feel “fat” even when they are below recommended body weights. This program shows young women how body types are made to be different, why it is important to live a healthy lifestyle, and most importantly how to love you. This program is beneficial to women of all ages.

Get Up and Move!
If your group is bored with the same old energizers and games, this workshop is for you! You will learn games and activities to use at meetings, conferences, or any time your members need a break! Highlights getting to know you, breaking barriers, getting out of your comfort zone, teamwork, trust-building, etc. If needed, fund raising and activity ideas may also be included.

Topics Include:

• Replacing Indifference With Energy
• Dealing With Adversity
• Goal-Setting
• Action Planning
• Teambuilding/Team Management

Peer Counselors/Peer Mediation

• Listening Skills
• Communication Techniques and Body Language
• Teen Issues (Suicide, Grief, Stress, Alcohol/Drugs, Eating Disorders)

ADULT PROGRAMS

What’s Got You Going?
How do you recapture your passion and invigorate your desire to be a more positive influence? If you feel you have lost sight of why you do or even how you do what you do, you should hear this message and rediscover your commitment to yourself and your lifestyle. This program is excellent for educators!

Performance Building
In this content-rich program, Harriet leads you through the steps to create a more effective work team. How to use your vision, knowledge and leadership skills to strengthen your employee’s talents and willingness to achieve high performance are integral parts of this program. To reach performance goals, you must master simple techniques to create loyal, hard working employees. This program is essential for managers who need to build cooperation and minimize conflict among employees.

Trendsetters
Working with younger employees or reaching teenagers can be difficult for any adult. Trends and dynamics change so quickly, adults just can’t keep up. Harriet will give insights into the clash of the cultures, current trends, and how to cope with change. What at first seems daunting, Harriet will break into pieces and leave you with information you may immediately apply in the workplace, community council or at home.

WOMEN’S PROGRAMS

We Fix Stupid

Does it feel like everyone wants a piece of you? Everyone expects you to fix all their problems? Do you feel like you give to everyone, but no one gives to you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Harriet has developed a program just for you. Women are natural nurturers, and this gets us in trouble! Learning boundaries, taking care of ourselves, and teaching others how to treat us are concepts women have the hardest time learning. Harriet has audiences howling with laughter one minute, and wiping away tears the next. Every women’s group, regardless of age or marital status, can benefit by hearing the message, “We Fix Stupid”.
