The Birth of Transforming Stigma™ – 2014 C-E-O Conference Keynote

http://www.TransformingStigma.Com In this video, Mike Veny details the birth of Transforming Stigma™. This short speech was recorded as part of a panel on overcoming challenges at the 2014 National Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (C-E-O) Conference at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida.
First, Mike shares about filing bankruptcy in 2005 and building a career as a drummer after that. Then in 2011, Mike had a mental health breakdown. After reaching out to a friend from the New York State Department of Mental Health for help, she responded with an invitation for him to speak at her conference.
After that first speech, Mike was traveling around the country within a few months, opening up mental health conferences as a keynote speaker. Transforming Stigma™ was born. In the spirit of overcoming challenges, Mike reminds us that sometimes our biggest challenges are our greatest opportunities. Sometimes that thing that you are struggling with can inspire the perfect business idea. The key is being aware and open to it.
Entrepreneurship was always in Mike’s blood, but he never would have thought he’d be marketing the toughest thing of all – his own issues. Although, he never dreamed of being a mental health speaker (who does?), Mike is honored to do this work to help others who are like him. Mike knows what it’s like to feel a lost sense of hope. Mike knows what it’s like to feel pain. Mike knows what it’s like to be scared. This is why he does this work in mental health.
Your greatest challenges can be your greatest opportunities.

BOCES Arts in Education School Assembly Ideas – 2020 – (Actionable)

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how a drumming school assembly program can engage and teach students.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you firsthand how I conduct my program, “Drumming Up Your Feelings.”
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Holding people’s attention during presentations and talks can be difficult. And this is all the more true when working with children. That leaves school administrators fighting an uphill battle when contemplating school assembly ideas.
As a mental health speaker and professional drummer, I have created school assembly programs that will engage the students to the point that they are having so much fun, they don’t even realize they are also being taught important lessons.
I work with art education programs in schools of various sizes, including working with BOCES programs to make it easier for schools to provide these programs for their students. “Drumming Up Your Feelings” is a hands-on, fun way for students to experience arts in education while learning the important skills for teamwork. Teachers and administrators won’t need to constantly remind students to sit quietly and listen throughout the presentation because each child has a role to play.
As you’ll see in the video, these programs are not your average school assembly. They are effective with students of all ages (and adults too!). These programs are also great confidence builders as students are able to try something new and succeed at it.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways that a drumming assembly program can benefit your school in 2019.
