Lance S. Carl Bio
Lance began his motivational speaking career in April of 2006 when he became Director of Student Motivation & Outreach for CollegeInColorado.org.
His presentation, The Umbrella of Success, was personally created to emphasize the impact that an education can have on the lives of our youth, regardless of their upbringing. Lance touches on 7 traits that successful people incorporate into their lives, traits that allow them to overcome obstacles, to recognize their talents/gifts and to recognize and maximize on the opportunity that education provides. Lance infuses his presentation with self-depracating humor combined with a dose of reality for students, gaining instant credibility with his audience. As a child of adoption, Lance shares his background with students and audiences, providing them with an overview of his personal battle with anger management, his trust issues with men and ultimately his decision to overcome adversity with a change in attitude and a change in choices.
This positive change allowed Lance to earn a Division 1 football scholarship as a student-athlete @ the University of Colorado @ Boulder.
Lance has presented to over 120,000 students, parents and administrators in Colorado since 2006 and is now broadening his message to other states.
Lance serves on the board of directors for two organizations, the Buffs4Life Foundation and the Bold Youth Foundation.

Lance worked as a sports agent and marketing representative for NFL players and Olympic athletes for a 4 year period in the mid 1990s.
He has worked extensively as a counselor with at-risk youth and emotionally/physically abused children as well as coordinating the counseling agenda and outreach for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Boulder County.
