A speaker who challenges today’s students to seek an authentic life.
An Assistant Professor of Business Ethics and Legal Studies in the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver, Corey Ciocchetti speaks to thousands of students each year on the topic of “authentic success” and living an ethical life.
His name rhymes with “spaghetti,” by the way.
In his keynotes, Corey encourages people of all ages to chase the truly important things in life such as a solid character, strong personal relationships and a sense of contentment. These “real rabbits” are compared and contrasted to worldly types of success such as excessive wealth, popularity and prestige. Audiences leave with a better sense of what it takes to develop character, set priorities and gain a big-picture perspective.
Corey is an excellent choice for professionally oriented student groups, fraternity and sorority leaders, honors student programs, emerging leaders symposiums, graduate schools and more.
The students loved your presentation! It is not often that our students agree on anything, but this time it has happened. Thank you so much for your time and effort to motivate and encourage. Your presentation is one that the students will remember and recall when they need uplifting.

Chasing Authentic Success
What are you shooting for? A big, impressive career? A big paycheck? A dose of fame and notoriety? Like a greyhound, endlessly running, you can spend your life chasing artificial rabbits and going around in circles. Or, you can make some decisions that will set you on a path to true happiness in your career and in your life.
In this very personal leadership keynote, Corey challenges students to identify the “real rabbits” that potentially lie in their future. You can achieve amazing things in your life, but true happiness is best found by keeping things like relationships, character and contentment in mind along the way.
This keynote is perfect for any leadership event.
Under the Influence…of STRESS!
Many student leaders are living a very stressful life. How student leaders deal with the stress—and the physical and mental problems a stressful life brings—can dramatically influence their health, their academic performance, their personal lives and their future.
In this interactive keynote, Corey gives students the “stress test” and 20 meaningful and fun ways to de-stress their lives. This is the perfect keynote for officer training workshops and for residence life staff who are facing the incredible demands of their unique campus role.
Any two of these keynotes may be combined in a single day’s visit for the same price as a single keynote. Call CAMPUSPEAK for more information.
Getting Real about Online Privacy
On one hand, students know about the threat of identity theft. Yet, many students put way too much information on their MySpace and Facebook profiles, giving online predators an open door.
In this keynote, Corey talks about the dangers, but also the tremendous benefits, of the online collection and dissemination of our personal information. From identity theft to piracy, this keynote gets the message across that great care must be taken to protect our online identities.
Corey is an expert in the field of online privacy and has written numerous articles on the topic. This keynote is an outstanding choice for first year experience and new student orientation programs.
