Intentional, engaging talks and small-group workshops that help young people connect, deepen awareness and understanding, and learn sustainable tools that truly support them.
We offer interactive talks and workshop series for youth and young adults in schools, churches, and community organizations. These experiences are designed to meet young people where they are — creating a safe space for social and emotional growth, self-empowerment, and focus.
Young people today are navigating increased pressure, complexity, and internal stress.
Many don’t need more information—
they need:
This work supports a sense of groundedness, capability, and connection—both in the moment and as you move forward.
Through a combination of real-life perspective, practical tools, and engaging delivery, we help individuals feel more grounded in who they are, more connected in their relationships, and more clear in the path they want to take from here.
Each month, we focus on a specific theme and bring that message into different schools, churches, and organizations.
Group members leave with language, perspective, and ideas they can carry into their everyday lives.
Our workshops take the same monthly theme and expand it into a more in-depth, hands-on experience. Each group meets once per week for four weeks.
These sessions are interactive, structured, and flexible—designed to meet the specific group while maintaining a clear direction and purpose.
If you have a space where young people are gathering, we can bring this work into that environment.
Middle and high schools, young adult groups, and campus-based youth programming.
Youth groups, faith-based gatherings, and spaces centered on encouragement and connection.
Boys & Girls Clubs, athletic teams, and organizations that support youth and young adults in meaningful ways.
Most importantly, they experience being met in a way that feels real, relatable, and grounded.
This work is built on connection first. We don’t talk at the group—we engage with them.
Every talk and workshop is designed to be both meaningful and accessible—something young people can connect to in the moment and carry with them afterward.
This work is led by Hiller Burton, LPC, NCC, CAS, and Mark Taylor, Certified Life Coach.
While our professional backgrounds are strong, what matters most in these settings is how we show up—present, engaged, and able to meet individuals in a real and human way.
We believe in them, and that belief is something they can feel and carry with them, while shaping the space we create together.
Hiller and Mark connect with you in a real, relatable way—helping you feel more like yourself, experience a greater sense of ease and connection, and take meaningful steps toward what matters most to you.
Mark is a Certified Life Coach and has served as a mental health therapist in various settings in both Mississippi and Alabama, currently based in Birmingham, Alabama. He brings a steady, down-to-earth presence to his work that helps you feel at ease, stronger in who you are, and move forward in a way that feels right to you.
Through sharing his own experiences, humor, and facilitating meaningful engagement and reflection, Mark creates an environment where you can let your guard down and feel understood. His presence is grounded, encouraging, and easy to connect with—making it natural for you to open up, engage, and relate.
Mark brings a lightness into the room that helps you reconnect with your creativity, imagination, and sense of possibility, even when life feels heavy. He is someone people genuinely look forward to being around—because they feel seen, valued, and believed in.
Over time, Mark walks alongside you in a personal and authentic way, as you build confidence in who you are. You begin to see what you are capable of, feel inspired to try new things, and show up in your life in a way that feels true to you—while working toward meaningful goals, both big and small.
Further, Mark brings a strong background in athletics, with a particular connection to tennis. He understands the mental and emotional side of sports—the pressure, expectations, and internal dialogue that shape both performance and enjoyment. In his work with athletes and teams, Mark helps you identify your strengths, build confidence, and approach both competition and growth with clarity, steadiness, and a powerful perspective.
Mark is relatable, real and steady, holding deep value in helping others feel connected, accepted, and inspired. In addition to his collaboration with Hiller for Talks & Workshops, he is available for one-on-one sessions for adolescents and adults looking for support in taking the next meaningful step in their lives.
