Mr. Karem gave an inspirational speech on how he works with youth and members of sports teams to help them as they search for their identity and how they fit in, while achieving an intimacy of independence and interdependence. To achieve the goal of purpose, growth, and legacy, he uses the tools of:
- No judgement
- An acknowledgement of each other's past
- An open mind for growth
- Support for accomplishing future goals
