DARRYL BELLAMY Jr.

https://www.bellamyinspires.com/
​
Darryl Bellamy graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2012, and three years later became a Corporate America dropout after quitting his job to travel the country inspiring students to conquer their fears and self-doubt.

After collecting, (still) reading, and cataloging over 15,000+ written student fears as of today, Darryl is now considered an expert on the topic of student fear. The first time he asked students to write their fears; He was taken aback by their rawness and transparency, inspiring him to find his true calling by solely focusing on ensuring they can overcome their fears to achieve and lead fearlessly. 

Darryl is committed to creating the most extensive database of student fears to give educators a better understanding of the current day student, and to use that data to transform the lives of millions through books, programs, and Fearless Conferences.  He believes that too often we teach the hard leadership skills, but forget that there’s a person underneath. His goal is to help educators better understand the internal, so the external hard skills we teach stick.

How would your life, organization, and campus be better if you were more fearless? Darryl Bellamy Jr. guides students & education professionals with the knowledge and techniques they need to identify and overcome some of their biggest fears.  During the year and a half with his coach, in addition to his full-time employment, Darryl worked part-time with a national training company, allowing his message to be shared beyond NC. He also created the first iteration of BellamyInspires.com, published Waking Up Chase, and eventually quit both jobs to dedicate all his time to Bellamy Inspires.  His first programs focused on different aspects student success, with one part of the program devoted to student fear. Everything changed one day when he asked students to write their fear; He was taken aback by the rawness and transparency they shared.  It was at that moment that he decided to solely focus on ensuring students can overcome their fears to lead and live as they desire.

Keith has always wanted to be an astronaut, often played with model rockets, and even learned to fly a plane so he could become one. Now he can at least pretend to be.

Keith is a serial entrepreneur who has founded two successful enterprise software companies and has been the founder or CEO of two natural food companies. In 1994, Lauver started and ran a technology services company that specialized in custom enterprise software development and serviced industry-leading clients. In 1999, Lauver founded Gearworks, a leader in mobile workforce management software for customers such as General Motors OnStar, Roto-Rooter, FTD, and Pepsi. Lauver raised $22 million to support the growth of Gearworks. In 2004, Lauver was looking for opportunities in his home state of Montana, and uncovered a niche natural beef company. In just over three years as CEO, he grew sales by over 1,000%, raised $5 million in private equity, and secured key national customers such as Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Williams-Sonoma. With his own life transformed by wellness, Lauver decided to launch a new business in 2008: Cooksimple.

EXAMPLE PRESENTATION
  • Reaching Students Through Effective Marketing & The Art and Science of Storytelling: Insights from Behavioral Science 
    • Each of us is exposed to over 10,000 messages per day from those wanting our attention. Most of us just tune these messages out. If you are someone who needs to deliver a message, you need new strategies to break through this noise. Using important clues from digital footprints about what works (and what doesn’t), savvy storytellers can learn to refine their messages for maximum impact. We’ll take an analytical look at storytelling, and explore how the latest research into behavioral science can help all of us tell better stories that move people to act.
