How to Get a Great Job Using the Internet

The Internet is a two-way street! You can and should look at appropriate job sites, as well as expect prospective employers to look at you online. Most companies Google job applicants and many look on social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. What will prospective employers find? What should they find? What is acceptable and what isn’t? Should you worry? How can you increase the chances that a great job finds you, instead of you finding it? This speech answers all these questions and more!

Secrets of Great Student Leaders

There is a lot more to “leading” than simply being in charge! Anyone with the desire and willpower can learn to
become a great leader with a little help. However, even the greatest leader cannot lead effectively without understanding
basic leadership principles. This speech focuses on what it takes to become a great student leader, and how great leaders always strive to improve.

"Ted has a gift and uses it very effectively and amusingly to energize students and others!"
- Gabrielle Brunner, Dean, Milton Academy

Entrepreneurial Skills for College Students

College is the perfect time to develop and hone entrepreneurial skills that will be valuable for the rest of your life, whether you plan to work for a Fortune 500 company, a small company, yourself, or even devote your life to a charitable cause. The business skills you develop will last a lifetime and look great on your resumŽ. Instead of looking for a job when you graduate, you may have already made one for yourself!

"Ted’s combination of deep knowledge and unique humor really inspires."
- Professor Jeffrey Stanton, Director, SISE Project, University of Syracuse
