Tackling Tough Subjects.
Inspiring Healthy Conversations.

“He changed the way I look at my life and made me see how everything I do can impact so many people”

High School Student

Trusted by schools of all sizes, local and national organizations, and more

The speaker students ask to come back again and again.

This isn’t going to be just another assembly or conference presentation. Your students are going to be engaged, dance, laugh, and open up to the message that Cory shares.

It is not enough to talk at students and tell them how to live their lives. To make meaningful, long-lasting change, Cory connects with students on their level and creates an atmosphere where it is okay to be vulnerable and decide what they want in life.

"As leaders, we need to continually evaluate our lives to see what's holding us back from leading and serving at a higher level."
