Chadwick Blackwell has created quite a name for himself in the field of psychology; having
earned a Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate he has also worked hard to establish himself as a college-level instructor. Having attended many lectures himself, Chadwick Blackwell has
realized his dreams of helping inspire others to further their academic careers and push their
minds to the limits and then going past them.

Chadwick Blackwell’s lecture at the University of Virginia in the Spring of 2000 was geared
toward graduate students and was structured around the relationship between learning, habits,
and scripts. “I wanted to have the graduate students really connect to what I was talking about,”says Chadwick Blackwell. “It was important that I used the lessons I’d learned up until that point to aid them in their careers.”

Chadwick Blackwell got it right with knowing how to relate to an audience. One of the hardest parts of lecturing is gaining the audience’s attention and keeping it. Chadwick Blackwell proves that with skill and charisma, he can command a room. Many people applaud him on his humor and outgoing personality which attracted the University of Virginia to ask him to speak to their students.

There have been other cases in which Chadwick Blackwell has given lectures, he declares it his way of giving back after being inspired by so many professionals he has seen speak in the past. In fact one of the first things he noticed about lecturers is their comfort level in front of a crowd. Chadwick Blackwell vowed that if he was going to successfully give lectures he wanted to be one of those presenters that felt at ease, as it helps your believability and helps the audience feel more comfortable trusting in you.

At his Alma Mater, James Madison University, Chadwick Blackwell gave a presentation
discussing Paulo Freire’s “Bank Concept of Education.” This system bases around the idea that students' minds are to be filled with the instructor’s knowledge, a basic concept that speaks volumes to university students’ minds. This lecture was well received and ignited even more drive in Chadwick Blackwell to give presentations and lectures.
