CURE inspires ambition through new speaking engagement project

May 25, 2009 – What does it take to become an everyday superhero… today? This was the subject of CURE Canada’s presentation to the delegates of this year’s Creating Leadership Amongst Youth (CLAY) Conference at McMaster University, and the first in what CURE hopes to be a series of invitations to speak with youth from all walks of life.

“We’ve never actually done a ‘motivational speech’ before, so we had no idea what to expect,” says co-presenter and CURE Director of Project Development Michael Pett. “However, the presentation turned out to be much more than just a motivational speech, it was really a frank discussion about accomplishing the impossible regardless of one’s age.”

“What we hope to do is talk about people’s dreams, and then break down all the barriers people put in front of themselves when they think about achieving those dreams,” says Pett. “When you think about it, oftentimes the only thing in our way is our own reservations.”

“The essence of the presentation is essentially the essence of CURE,” noted co-presenter and CURE Executive Director Leo Johnson. “To inspire a sense of potential in the attendees; to convince them that there is nothing stopping them from giving back to their communities. Time and money aren’t an object if you’re a person with guts and vision.”

Future presentations will be able to be personalized and customized for a wide variety of audiences. “For the CLAY audience, what we did was take our core message, and adapt it to the theme of the conference: superheroes,” continued Pett. “It worked well, but the great thing about CURE’s message is that it’s universal, and can be adapted to just about anyone’s life situation. It’s part of the reason we’re so intent on communicating it to a broader audience.”

CURE Canada is currently accepting invitations to speaking events of all varieties, and is willing to work with organizers to ensure that attendees get the most out of a given presentation. For more information, please contact:
