Be a Coffee Bean: Hear the message that groups all over the country are implementing as their motto: Be A Coffee Bean! This presentation is designed for groups wanting to both motivate their attendees, as well as implement the vitally important message of the coffee bean, that the power to change any situation is within you, not in the outside forces around you. The culture of your group can be positively changed in one hour! Damon’s message not only addresses the physical and mental well-being of the attendees but provides real, lived experience on growth through adversity. The leadership aspects of the coffee bean message provide the audience with much needed skills and tips for living and leading a positive life.

Speakers
