Kearney High School (Brian Neben, Central Nebraska Today)
KEARNEY — Kearney High School to host motivational speaker Mike Donahue for presentations to students, staff and parents.
Mike Donahue is the founder and director of Value Up, a Nebraska-based motivational company focusing on positive school culture. He has spoken to over a million students throughout the last three decades in live settings.
Mr. Donahue will be speaking to Kearney High School juniors, seniors, and KHS parents on Tuesday, January 14. The student presentation will take place during the school day, and the parent presentation will take place in the KHS Concert Hall and Theater at 7:00 pm.
Donahue has worked with young people worldwide including the United States, Asia, South America, and Europe. Mike has authored four books: Reinventing My Normal, Hidden Scars, Talking to Brick Walls, and his latest book, Value Up. He spoke to KHS freshmen and sophomores last week and received raved reviews.
Mike has come to understand that so many teen issues are directly related to how students view themselves. If a student believes they have high intrinsic value and identify with that high value, they make life choices that match their perceived value identity.
Students who value and respect themselves make positive life choices and show greater value and respect to others. Value Up was created to amplify value in every student, resulting in strengthening a positive school culture.
