Keynote & Workshop Speaker

We all desire that end product: The confident and successful future self navigating life with clarity and confidence. If you are not moving the needle forward, growing, creating, evolving, and stepping into that future self, it’s time to ask the question, “Why not?” The dynamics of the human experience leaves us bread crumbs at every turn. However, worry, fear, and doubt anchor us to the past and suspend us in a fictitious future leaving us treading water in the unactionable open seas of the present.

In this compelling, yet informative, truth telling presentation, I take your audience through the process of bridging the gap between the past and the future through an unshakable present, so they can stand in the power of their brilliance, own the inexcusable now, and step into their future self.

Learning Objectives or Take-aways:

Learn the three core anchoring emotions: worry, fear, & doubt

Discover a simple 3 step process to reset your inner-compass to clarity, confidence, and creativity

Tap into your unlimited self stretching beyond your limitations toward your future self.

Axel Desarden is a keynote & workshop speaker. Delivering talks that empower College students to transition from worry, fear, & doubt to clarity, confidence, & creativity. Author of "Questions are the Answers."

Axel struggled with anxiety. Some of his trials & tribulations include surviving the traumatic experience of seven gunshots which came with confusion & contradiction. Struggles with identity formation and so much more. Axel came to realize (and you will too!): "We don't drive out the shadow of anxiety, we simply introduce it to the light."

In 2016 Axel's oldest daughter graduated LaGuardia College, and youngest was just stepping into freshman year at Purchase College. Fresh into divorce proceedings Axel began to evaluate and repurpose into new beginnings. One that would start by writing his first book "Distorted Perception of Innocence," a coming of age story. Followed up, shortly thereafter with a workbook titled "Questions are The Answers." This would lead him to his talk creation titled "Dynamics of the human experience." A compelling, yet informative, truth telling presentation, taking the audience through the process of bridging the gap between the past and the future through an unshakable present, so that individuals can stand in the power of their brilliance, own the inexcusable now, and step into their future self.
