Workshops and Speaking Engagements

 

Bring real talk, real tools, and real transformation to your brotherhood.


Whether virtual or in-person, my workshops meet fraternity members where they are to deliver practical tools, space for authentic dialogue, and guided practices that create lasting impact. These aren’t lectures. They’re active, engaging experiences that spark insight, build trust, and move chapters toward stronger connection, purpose, and well-being.

Workshops are great for chapter meetings, leadership summits, and retreats. I customize every session to your needs.

 

Popular Workshops Include:

🧭 Living with Purpose
Discover your core values, bust the myths about meaningful living, and craft a personal mantra to guide action in the moments that count.

🔥 Stress Responsibly
Understand your stress response, take the driver’s seat of your nervous system through breathwork, and build a stress-resilient mindset.

Man Enough
Explore stereotypes of masculinity, unpack how you learned about manhood, and create a version of masculinity that empowers you and your brothers.

🤝 Building Brotherhood
Bring your chapter to life through engaging activities and discussion designed to ground brothers in integrity and build a foundation of empathy.

💬 Custom Topics Available
Looking for something specific? Let’s talk. I can tailor sessions for leadership, vulnerability, conflict, values, resilience, or connection.

Workshop Formats:

  • Virtual Workshops (1 hour)
    Perfect for chapter meetings. A mix of bite-sized frameworks, guided practice, and rich small-group discussion.

  • In-Person Engagements (1 - 3 hours)
    Available for leadership conferences or immersive chapter work. Best for deeper transformation and skill-building.

These Workshops Are Ideal If:

  • Brothers feel disconnected, aren’t showing up, or are going through the motions

  • You’re looking to improve culture without just talking “rules”

  • You want to reduce burnout, isolation, or reactive behavior

  • You value active, peer-led learning, not passive presentations

  • Your chapter or conference needs a high-impact experience that men will actually remember

 

What Participants Are Saying…

Building Brotherhood is an excellent workshop for college men. Colin helped us develop an understanding of integrity, vitality, and humility, and equipped us with tools to put into practice when tested. My brothers and I left the workshop feeling very empowered and confident in our ability to carry ourselves, regulate ourselves in difficult situations, and listen to our brothers with intention. Can’t recommend enough!

Colin is a game changer in the areas of mindfulness and wellness. Phi Delta Theta Fraternity partnered with Colin and Manscending to provide a keynote and education breakout session targeted specifically to our collegiate chapter leaders about building and sustaining authentic brotherhood and investing in healthy experiences. Filled with nuggets of wisdom, practical applications and thought-provoking content, Colin captured the audience’s attention and sparked laughter, meditation, and a few tears. All of these emotions accomplished in a well-structured and accessible program format!
