Growing up on the south side of Chicago, Cornelius was exposed to violence and crime from a young age. Several of Corneliusʼ friends have been incarnated, and three have died. I wonder how their lives might have turned out differently if they had someone to show them the tools to manage emotions, focus on the positive, and become leaders and masters of their own lives. My goal is to give these tools to the youth of the world.  We are a growing movement and our mission is to turn billions of youth into super leaders!

Super Leadership:

Many youth today are being led astray. Making bad decisions can cost our youth their future. This presentation helps youth understand how to become a leader and help other youth become leaders- thatʼs super leadership! This presentation touches on the important components of super leadership such as integrity, respect, courage, creativity, kindness, and the ability to stay focus. Cornelius helps students realize they have all the special attributes to become super leaders within them already, they just have to challenge themselves to grow these qualities!

Purpose and Legacy

Our purpose in life is why we are here. Our legacy is what we do while we are here. There are many youth who fall into depression and troubled behavior because they lack purpose. Corneliusʼ message will help them realize that they are destined to do great things in life.

Unleashing Your Superpower: Courage

Many youth today feels that being courageous is only what they see in the super hero movies. The truth is, we need courage everyday. We need courage to make the right decisions, to go after our dreams, to let go of toxic relationships, to love, control our emotions and so much more. Cornelius helps students understand what it truly mean to be courageous so that they can apply it to their lives.

Bullying

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but  the suicide rate amongst youth is steadily increasing, especially since the last decade. Some of the major reasons (amongst many) for an increase of the suicide rate is children being bullied. Bullying damages a youth’s self concept–which is the image people have of themselves or their self worth. Damaged Self Concept has been an issue for victims of bullying, as well as the bully. Cornelius doesn’t just focus on solutions for the victim of bullying, we also focus on solutions for the bully (most of whom come from an abusive household, or who have been bullied themselves). Many bullies feel like the world has given up on them. But Cornelius delivers a powerful anti-bullying message that can help students understand how powerful spreading love, showing empathy and being kind to one another truly is.

PBIS

Positive behavioral interventions & supports is a framework of principles that can be used in schools to increase the desired level of important social and learning outcomes.
