Keynote

Speaker:

Reviving Work EthicEric Chester is widely considered as an expert on school-to-work transi-tion and the emerging workforce. As a former high school marketingteacher, DECA Advisor, and coach-turned motivational speaker for millionsof students, Eric soon became a highly sought after speaker for hundredsof leading companies that needed to know how to manage and motivate

post-Generation Xers.Eric is the Founder and CEO ofThe Bring Your A Game to WorkInitiative, a comprehensive work ethic training and certification programfor teens and young adults. With work ethic being a primary concern fortodays employers, Chester frequently appears on national media to pro-vide insight and perspective to business leaders and concerned adults.Bring Your A Game to Work is an entertaining, spirited, compellingcompilation of ideas Eric garnered through more than two decades of in-teractions and interviews with innumerable employers and teenagers invarious work environments. He has also authored the books EmployingGeneration Whyand Getting Them to Give a Damn before writing Reviving

REVIVING WORK ETHIC: How Educators Can End the En-titlement Mentality Among Students and Create an Envi-ronment of Achievement

Presented by Eric Chester, Bestselling Author of Employ-ing Generation Why, Hall-of-Fame Speaker, and theFounder and CEO of Reviving Work Ethic and the BringYour A Game to WorkInitiative.

Eric Chester is a former HS business teacher and football coach-turned motiva-tional speaker. He spent 10 years speaking exclusively to students and was aninvited presenter at more than 1000 schools in North America. However, for thepast 12 years, Eric has been speaking to, and working with employers who are

feeling the effects of an emerging workforce that is woefully prepared with thework ethic necessary to succeed. In a perfect world, business leaders would em-ploy a workforce thats engaged, enthused, and ethically unassailable. The real-

ity, of course, is that the incoming breed of worker is streetwise and techno-savvy, but theyve not been taught how to work and are having great difficulty in

making the transition from school to career.

The purpose of schools is to prepare students for success in the real world. De-veloping a healthy work ethic prepares young people to be better students whilethey are in school, but also prepares them to be better employees, better lead-

ers, and better citizens.

Developing work ethic in students is not optional; it is a responsibilityone that

should be shared by every individual employed by a training institution.

Eric Chester is the leading authority on developing work ethic in teens and young

adults. His presentation will illustrate why the work ethic in America has de-clined, and hell provide solid, actionable ideas and tools for instilling the pride of

a job well done.

Discover the 7 Indisputable Core Values that every employer demands fromevery worker, and every successful school develops within their students.

Find out how to promote a classroom culture rooted in reliability, professional-ism, initiative, integrity, and respect.

Learn how to be an 'up and over' leader, moving students from Idle,Lucky, and Cheating behaviors into the Valued

Quadrant.

Explore how to instill an attitude of grati-tude among your student population and makethem motivated learners.

Sam Hitchcock became State Director

of Vocational Education in 1941, a position he held until 1961. During this time, he developed the

National Defense and OSY programs to serve the needs of workers in World War II. After the War,

he was responsible for 130 veterans on-the-farm training programs. In 1946, he played a key role

in the organization of our present Wyoming Association for Career and Technical Education. Mr.Vocational Education is a title given him by his many friends in Wyoming and the nation, and fur-

ther sums up his leadership services to our profession.

The Wyoming Vocational Association honored Sam Hitchcock by establishing this scholar-

ship in 1959. WACTE is an organization of Wyoming career and technical educators, coordinators,

counselors and administrators organized to establish and maintain state leadership for the promo-

tion of vocational, career and technical education.
