Youth Motivational Speaker / High School Assemblies

Youth Conference Keynote and High School Assemblies

Cary Trivanovich's one-of-a-kind keynote is a staple on the high school assembly circuit across America. It is extremely funny, poignant, and changes lives.

What Cary does before his message will be some of the funniest moments you'll ever see in a live show. As one state's student leadership president wrote, "I never laughed so hard in my life." Yet, it is Cary's finale, portraying the sentiment of one man's life, that draws youth audiences everywhere to their feet. However it is not just his performance that has made him one of America's popular youth speakers—It is the impact of his message.

Message Topics

Peer Leadership [or] Leadership for Life-Change (For student leadership conferences or assemblies) - Cary's life was changed by the student leaders of his school. Likewise, Cary relates how your students can impact the lives of others. This message focuses on the significance that a student can exemplify to others, simply by being a peer who has such a positive influence on them.

Character/Bullying - Cary's most popular message over the years emphasizes "Choosing Character Over Bullying." This message exposes the bullies' mindset and need to be somebody, encourages the bullied students' self-esteem, and inspires all to be the kind of student who is a magnet for friends - unselfish and giving.

Excellence/Potential - A positive message encouraging students about their potential for great achievement by pursuing their dreams with excellence (also tailored for Renaissance reward assemblies).

Drug Awareness - Cary's story of his sister's high school drug use is moving and effective. This message includes what the consequences of drugs can be, reasons teens take drugs, tactics of drug dealers, and motivation to help friends who are dabbling with drugs. Culminates with positive motivation for students to seize their potential for high achievement with a drug-free life and with Mr. Trivanovich's dramatic closer on The Preciousness of Life.
