“You only cheat yourself
when you do less than your best.”

Keynotes For Teens
Teens live in a world of high tech, leading to a very different place than the world their parents grew up in. In addition, teens face an influx of hormones with a very strong desire to be independent while their parents feel they have not developed a reliable thought process. This leads to constant battles between teens, their parents and others. But what many parents fail to see is how amazing their children are and how well they function outside their parents’ sight.

Bea Joyner has conducted Leadership Training through Toastmasters International at various high schools in Philadelphia, PA and has mentored students. Ms. Joyner helps teens understand their parents better and their place in this world of constantly changing rules and regulations. Award winning author of "Don't Need No Soaps, My Life Is Soap Enough!" and "A Taste of Things To Come", Ms. Joyner speaks on issues in a language that teens can immediately relate to:

“Dead, Dying or Bleeding” (frustrations a child can cause a parent)

“The Magical, Mystical Pouch” (teen logic)

“One Mice and the Fish Committed Suicide” (the value of chores and learning responsibility)

“Rise and Shine, Mom is Packing a Water Bottle” (learning self-responsibility)

“Going Shopping” (communication and self-esteem)
