PFEW provides students with access to a variety of speakers and messages. These lectures range from motivational, to inspirational, to entrepreneurial. Interspersed throughout a busy and interactive PFEW week are dozens of speakers presenting world-class seminars and discussions covering topics such as leadership, business ethics, technology in the workplace, business and government, effective communication, teamwork, job and professional skills, and more — all geared toward the students' personal and professional development.
These speaker engagements are about an hour long. They typically revolve around the aforementioned topics. General assemblies are attended by the entire PFEW student body.
These are smaller group presentations to one half the PFEW audience at one session and then the students rotate and the same presentation is given to the other half of the group. Each rotation is about 45 minutes in length.
This type of speaking engagement involves a featured speaker designed to be the kickoff for the students' week.

The speakers all provided important life lessons and views which have changed how I see things around me. Thank you for sending me on such a life changing journey through PFEW.
While I was here I met a lot of amazing speakers that I will never truly forget. Every speech was awakening and left me with a different piece of information every time. Whether it be that I need to start thinking about college or I need to step back and think about others around me, it changed my life forever.
Not only did I hear incredible and unique stories from each and every one [speaker], I also felt more motivated than I ever have and it is thanks to them. I have learned not only about finance, but I have also learned how to turn rudimentary name games into friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime. I can't wait to tell everybody back home about the chance they can take.
