David Pride Motivational Speaker from Boston, MA

I speak with students about successes and failures and what to do when everything in life seems to be going wrong. I am passionate about helping young people navigate the emotions of depression, sadness, and frustration by teaching them how to turn that negative energy into fuel to chase their dreams. I recognize that life isn't easy for young adults today. Teens live in a world of constant comparison where their own life just doesn't compare to that of the celebrities or the internet famous. I teach young people how to navigate those feelings and how to keep pushing forward when everything is pushing back. I first spoke as a professional youth speaker when I was in college and battling cancer. During the time I had Stage 3 Hodgkin's Disease and was asked to share about my journey. During the talk, I realized that the season of pain and fear that I was currently experiencing was also helping to develop a message of hope and promise. Hope for tomorrow that life still can get better, and a promise that if I seek improvement each day, I won't be let down. I also own Social Impressions, a social media marketing agency that has helped companies around the globe produce exciting and engaging content.
