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.

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

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!”
