About this Event
The Experience
Student Session (9am-12pm)-Middle School, High School, College
Adult Session (2pm-5pm)
This is a masterclass brought to life as a show — a high-energy, theatrical, deeply human experience where you will learn proven techniques for storytelling and powerful public speaking while watching one of the most dynamic performers and educators in the nation work in real time.
When Dr. Daniel E. Walker steps on stage, the room becomes a living classroom.
You don’t just witness great storytelling —
You learn how to do it yourself.
Every story carries a lesson.
Every lesson moves with story.
And every moment is designed to help you find your voice, sharpen your message, and speak with clarity, confidence, purpose, and humanity.
This is where performance becomes education,
and education becomes transformation.
Student Session (9am-12pm)
In this dynamic, high-energy session, Dr. Daniel E. Walker blends storytelling, public speaking, and leadership development into an experience designed to help students find their voice, build confidence, and learn how to speak with clarity, courage, and purpose.
This session is for every kind of young person:
• students leading clubs, teams, and campus movements
• students who want to step into leadership but don’t know how
• students who feel unheard or overlooked
• students carrying trauma or shyness that has quieted their voice
• students with speech challenges who want techniques and encouragement
• students ready to advocate for themselves, their schools, and their communities
Dr. Walker brings a lifetime of leadership to this space. He served as Middle School Vice President, Senior Class President, and Student Government President at San Diego State University—one of the largest universities in the nation. At 19, he co-founded Leadership Excellence, which grew into Blue Educational Foundation (Inland Empire) and Flourish Agenda (Bay Area), programs that have transformed tens of thousands of young lives. His work has been featured in books, classrooms, and conferences nationwide, and he is widely regarded as one of California’s most impactful educators.
Students will learn practical techniques for speaking, storytelling, and leadership—how to use their voice to organize, inspire, advocate, and shape their own future. Dr. Walker draws from his own experiences growing up in the Inland Empire, offering guidance, humor, and real tools students can use immediately.
Teachers, parents, and mentors: if there is a young person who needs confidence, connection, community, or a new sense of possibility, this is the room where they belong.
