Positive Keynotes
The Down To Earth Dad’s upbeat, positive keynote addresses — at professional development and parent-engagement conferences and national and regional events — entertain and inform with cool audio-visuals (dancing is optional!) and solid information.
Patrick customizes keynotes to match conference themes, but his go-to topics are father engagement, story sharing for ECE, and stress reduction for educator teams.
If you choose the fatherhood thread, your attendees will learn from Patrick’s How Fatherhood Is Changing—Fatherhood Has Changed ™ talk sharing valuable perspective from his front-row seat to the evolution of father involvement over 27 years working directly with early childhood programs and child-and-family-serving organizations and agencies across America — and exactly how to meet dads where they are today and get them optimally engaged.
See the Professional Development page for additional topic ideas.
MIX & MATCH: Consider a hybrid address on The Positive Power of Storytelling that leads into a breakout session/workshop on Integrating Family Storytelling into Your Program. You could also stir in some father engagement and/or stress reduction as a second theme.
Patrick’s keynotes and trainings deliver actionable strategies that educators can instantly apply to boost parent engagement and drive school readiness in their programs.
Tell your attendees/team they’ll LAUGH and have a great time. (Because they will!)
