Educational, motivational, inspirational - Zoro’s motivational speaking programs are unlike any other. Mixing stories from his own life’s challenges and triumphs, 25 years at the top in the highly competitive world of rock and roll with his infectious enthusiasm for people, Zoro captures his audiences from the downbeat and leaves them wanting an encore.

Zoro lives his message. Attendees get a taste of what positive, hard work and dedication to your calling can lead to as Zoro ends each seminar with a blistering example of the craft that has lead to his global recognition as the best R&B drummer in the world.

Zoro’s appeal crosses lines of culture, race, age and industry.

Here are just a few of the topics Zoro speaks on:

Against all odds – Zoro knows what it means to start from the bottom and reach the top of his profession. In this deeply moving interactive seminar, he shares his life story, filled with humor, and inspiration. From the lessons of his life, Zoro leaves an audience prepared to overcome the barriers that circumstances sometimes put in the way.

Opportunity knocks – Opportunities are everywhere. The question is; Will we be ready when it knocks? Zoro explores strategies for recognizing and creating opportunity and the true meaning of luck – the ability to take advantage of opportunity when it presents itself.

Positive choices – the differences between those who succeed and those who fail are minute. The difference lies in the choices we make. Zoro provides lessons and examples from his life in the music industry to illustrate how positive, considered choices can lead to success even when the odds are against you.

If I can dream – Zoro’s life is an example of putting your dreams into action. In this seminar he shares the techniques, strategies and tools required for building a foundation for success, no matter what your endeavor.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes – Zoro has had his share of change. From the streets of Compton, his path has ranged from chicken farmer, to DJ, to performer, to educator, to clinician, to motivational speaker. In each area of endeavor, he has started with only a prayer and determination, and found his way to the top. In this informative and powerful seminar, Zoro shares the secrets of reinvention, preparing attendees for the challenges of their own life’s journeys.

Making it in the Performing Arts – Steve Lipman, Dean of Students at Berklee College of Music, says: “Zoro is not only an accomplished and respected musician. He really knows the business. Zoro delivers a high powered motivational lecture with an educational program. He takes performers through a methodical and pragmatic approach of addressing the realities of what it takes to make it. He elaborates on the strategies and principles needed for success and illustrates them with his own personal experience, complete with a detailed 10-page handout, “The Master Plan: Roadmap of How to Plan a Successful Career”. His eminently practical advice affirms, guides, directs and influences aspiring and experienced performers into going after the success they desire. His personal stories and anecdotes give him the ability to connect with his audience and his sincerity and enthusiasm have made him one of the most inspiring and motivating speakers around.”
