Careers Speakers & Pathways Presentations

What comes after high school? More than ever, students are under pressure to figure out what they're doing with their lives. 

Here's the problem:
Society has bought into a bunch of beliefs that are not true! 

​Have you ever heard these myths?
  • "You need to have life figured out by graduation."
  • "University is the best way to get a job."
  • "Choose your career wisely - you'll do it forever!"
​It's all false!

Inspiring & Hilarious for Students!

The Beanstalk Project is on a mission to help students find the right pathway for them after high school. 

​"Busting the Myths of Life After High School"

The 45-75 minute presentation is funny, relevant, and inspiring! Students will be clearer on their path, less stressed, and excited about their next steps for finding a career they love.

It's a great fit in schools for:
  • Career Days / Classes
  • Post-Secondary Exploration Events
  • Assemblies
  • Conferences
  • Special Events

​"I feel like a huge weight has been lifted!"

​- Amy, Grade 11 Student, Stratford

​"You just covered my whole careers class in an hour! Thank you!"
​- John, Teacher, Strathroy
​

Great PD for Educators Too!

We offer professional development sessions and keynote speaking for educators, typically 30-90 minutes in length, but custom half-day or full-day sessions are also available:

​"Post-Secondary Pathways: Dismantling the Hierarchy"

Description: Most students and parents (and even teachers) believe in a hierarchy of pathways: University, College, Apprenticeship, then Workplace.  It's bogus. We need smart students in EVERY pathway.  We need to recognize the "Entrepreneurship" pathway. We need students who are motivated by more than parental expectations. Let’s explore how we can get more people doing experiential education, co-ops, and the experiential pathways.  Lively discussion, guaranteed fun, and productive ideas to win over those annoying naysayers.

Other Speaking Topics

The Beanstalk Project also has speakers who can deliver powerful messages on:
  • Leadership Conferences
  • School Assemblies
  • Mental Health & Wellness

Student Leadership Events

Students have a profound opportunity to change the world and make a difference in the lives of others.

Here's the problem:
Society has a narrow definition of leadership: "The loudest people are the best leaders."

​Really?? No wonder so few see themselves as leaders.

​We can change that! We help students:
  • Develop their senses of agency and influence.
  • Reconnect with their goals, dreams, and talents.
  • Use their authentic skills to make a difference.

Entertaining & Educational!

The Beanstalk Project offers keynotes (30-60 min) and workshops (30 min - full day) designed to build practical leadership skills. Here are a few of our presentations:

​"The Next Frontier of Student Leadership"
An inspiring look at how change happens and where the next opportunities lurk, with a challenge to choose to act on what matters! 


"Finding Your Circle of Control"
Too many students feel like victims of their own circumstances. With a simple shift in mindset, we can empower ourselves, change our lives, and make a difference for others!

"Moving Ideas Forward"

A creativity-filled ideation and prototyping session. Everyone leaves with an idea for a real project in their school or community, and a process they can use to turn any idea in action.

Our speakers are a great fit for:
  • Student Leadership Conferences
  • Student Council Retreats
  • Special Events
  • Anything else! Contact us to talk about customized presentations.

School Assemblies & Special Events

There are a lot of speakers out there who don't connect with students, but with The Beanstalk Project, you don't need to worry.

Students are quick to tune out if speakers are preachy, self-centred, or dry. It's understandable; there's nothing worse than feeling stuck in a boring presentation that's irrelevant and uninspiring.

Motivational speakers are a phenomenal way to:
  • Promote positive messages
  • Expose students to positive role models
  • Add excitement and energy to any event​
But it only works if they're good!

We understand that when you organize an event, 
your reputation is on the line. Students love us because Beanstalk speakers are engaging, interactive, and relevant. 

You'll love us because we'll make you look good.

Easy To Work With!

Our speakers are:
  • Flexible
  • Experienced with youth
  • Affordable for education​

Beanstalk speakers can do great presentations on topics such as:
  • Making the most of high school
  • Getting involved
  • Getting out of your comfort zone
  • Promoting a culture of kindness

​"This was an amazing way to start the year!"
​- Juliette, Grade 9 student

Mental Health & Wellness

When it comes to student success, mental health really matters.

As more schools recognize it, there is a growing demand for speakers who can share inspiring stories and promote wellness and positive mental health habits.

​Our speakers can help:
  • Fight stigma around mental health
  • Encourage holistic ideas of success and wellness
  • Develop healthy habits in students and staff

We can create inclusive, caring schools that foster individual differences and promote wellness as essential to success!

Promoting Educator Wellness

We offer inspiring professional development sessions and keynote speaking, typically 60 minutes up to a half-day in length, for educators: 

​"Feeling Drained? How to Beat the Burnout and Make Work Fun Again"

Description: We pour our energy into our jobs, but too often, we’re left feeling drained and tapped out. This presentation will help you get back on track: Hilarious demonstrations, insightful exercises to figure out what’s causing your burnout, and inspiring stories of success. You’ll leave energized and empowered!
