Six Keys to Success for Students and Educators

Karl Mecklenburg the Leadership Linebacker
Speeches that inspire long term positive change for your staff and students.


A keynote that convinces the uncommitted to buy in.

A keynote that instills the courage to try new things and the perseverence to see them through.

A keynote that entertains while driving home the points you have asked him to stress.

A keynote that refocuses your leaders' efforts back to the mission of the team.

Karl says,

"I don’t use a power point, I’m a story teller.  I understand that I must entertain in order to effectively teach.  I entertain in a way that touches my audience where they live: at school, in their relationships, and through their emotions.  My audience laughs and leaves the presentation reaffirmed that they determine their own futures, and that they will be successful as a team."

Karl is a respected professional speaker as well as a celebrity whose name recognition helps drive attendance.  He is a member of the National Speakers Association and approaches speaking in the same way he approached football; with effort, intelligence, and passion.  To book Karl for your next meeting please contact Mecklenburg Motivation at 720-379-5317


            Karl's "Six Keys to Success" include; Teamwork: leadership is the ultimate form of teamwork, "think we, not me"; Courage: the courage to try new things and to be decisive; Dedication, which is hard work, constant learning, and refusing to quit.  Mecklenburg will also talk about: Desire: your dreams, your passion and mission, Goal Setting: these are the specific, short term, reasonable steps that aim you toward and take you to your desire; and Honesty and Forgiveness: "you must be honest and forgiving with yourself in order to move forward toward your desire".  

     Mecklenburg says that success is overcoming obstacles on the way to your dreams.  Karl overcame dyslexia to become a published author.  He overcame a lisp that had him in elementary school speech therapy to become a professional speaker.   When Mecklenburg was a high school junior he played junior varsity football.  As a college walk-on, and the 310th pick of the NFL draft, his all-pro NFL career is a testament to his 6 Keys approach.  Both students and educators have been tremendously impacted by Karl's story of perseverance and message of self determination.

     "I am happy to sign autographs and pose for pictures.  It helps me to talk to the meeting planner ahead of time so I can be aware of the specific challenges your students face, as well as your school goals and mission statement.  This allows me to game-plan and tailor my speech to your group's needs."
