• Bring Alexis Lawson to Your Stage

    Moving Youth and the Professionals Who Serve Them from Survival Mode to Vision Mode.
  • Thank you for your interest in bringing Alexis Lawson to your upcoming conference, professional development day, school assembly, or organizational event!

     

    Alexis is a purpose-driven speaker, facilitator, and advocate who brings unmatched authority to the stage through her lived experience—what she proudly calls her "PhD in Survival." Having spent half of her youth and a great deal of her adulthood navigating severe addiction, mental health challenges and incarceration, Alexis has spent the last decade working at the intersection of recovery, reentry, and youth development.


    Today, she contracts with the same juvenile justice system (the Douglas County Youth Center) that once held her as a youth. Alexis translates her raw, lived experience into practical, evidence-based, and highly actionable communication frameworks, the very same frameworks she used to build her own life from the ground up.

    She now equips educators, social workers, case managers, and frontline advocates with the tools they need to cut through disruptive behaviors and establish genuine human connection with hard-to-reach youth.

    • Format: (000) 000-0000.
    • Session Topics: 


      1. KEYNOTE: "Redefining Success: An Inside Job"


      Primary Audience: Leadership Teams, Supervisors, Managers, and Frontline Advocates (Mental Health, Social Work, Education, and Juvenile Justice).


      The Core Message: Frontline work is incredibly heavy. When dealing with secondary trauma and systemic burnout, you cannot pour from an empty cup—your "internal roots" must come before your "external results."


      2. WORKSHOP: "Beyond Behavior Management: Moving Students from Survival Mode to Vision Mode"


      Primary Audience: Frontline Educators, Teachers, Advocates, Caseworkers, and Youth Facility Staff.


      The Core Message: Behavior is never the core issue it is a symptom of survival mode. When a young person is stuck in survival mode, they literally cannot see past today. Standard discipline fails unless we humanize our connection first.


      3. CUSTOM PRESENTATION: "Tailored to Your Organization's Theme"


      Primary Audience: Flexible (Can be customized for Corporations, Communities, Boards, Parents, or Specific Staff).


      The Core Message: Alexis can design a customized keynote or workshop that aligns seamlessly with your event's specific goals, themes, or objectives.


      During our 20-minute alignment call, we will collaborate to weave Alexis's lived-experience insights and practical frameworks into a custom talk tailored specifically to your audience's unique needs.


      4. YOUTH PROGRAMMING: "L.I.T.T. Program Assemblies & Workshops"


      Primary Audience: Youth, Students, Justice-Impacted Teens, and Young Adults (Ages 12-25).


      The Core Message: Inspiring youth to see their value, identify their vision, and understand that their current circumstances do not define their future.


      What We Dive Into: High-energy, non-judgmental workshops or school assemblies where Alexis works directly with youth to build future-oriented goals, find positive accountability, and identify healthy and unhealthy peers.
