Keynote Speaker
When Rey Grandoit speaks, people listen. Rey has a unique gift of captivating young people's attention. He is a storyteller who helps his audiences see themselves in the story.
​
In each story there is always a lesson. Students are inspired to reflect on their own lives and seek opportunities to become the best version of themselves despite their circumstances.
Re-engage and Inspire Your Students
Without carrying the burden alone
Rey Grandoit’s story, life lessons and workshops will inspire your students to become their best selves​
​
While also easing the burden of you being the sole motivator in the classroom.
Students wrestling with anxiety and depression.
Struggling to find the inner strength to deal with even the slightest of setbacks.
And others crumbling under a mountain of social pressures
At college and career institutions, it’s more of the same–mental health issues, financial distress and even homelessness.
The outcome is certain
Students either act out, check out or drop out!
And as for you, educators? Well, it’s hard to teach, discipline AND motivate when you’re struggling to stay motivated, yourself
Motivating students is a big burden when educators alone are left to carry it. Rey’s not asking you to lay down that burden. He’s simply here to lighten your load
Rey’s Speeches and Workshops will:
Captivate student’s attention and draw them in
Make them feel more understood, connected and inspired
Help them see pain and adversity in a whole new light
Encourage them to open up and share their own stories
Build their self-confidence, sense of gratitude and appreciation
Empower them to change their narrative and take positive action in their own lives
Despite being paralyzed since age 14, Rey’s never-quit attitude inspires young students and adult learners alike to keep going and keep growing despite life’s adversities
​
When should you invite Rey to your school?
When you’re having a special event, running a campaign or are entering a high-stress period in the school term and you need to motivate your students
When students have checked-out and you need to re-engage them and encourage them to stop taking opportunities for granted
When student morale is low or the risk of drop-outs are great and you need to raise their confidence and inspire them to keep going
When you want to raise awareness around disability and inclusion and you’re in search of a powerful speaker to share his success story

My everyday thinking in life was flawed...
