★★★★★ Rated 4.9/5.0

Tanner Clark brought an energy to the room that was truly infectious, leaving the students inspired. It was the perfect combination. A touch funny, a hint of seriousness, and some insightful information about technology use and social interactions, to keep the students engaged and wanting more. The parent presentation held the night before was equally excellent, offering valuable insights and sparking meaningful conversations among our families. It is rare to find a speaker who can connect so effectively with both our youth and our adult community.

Liesl McConchie really listened to what we wanted for each portion of the day and she absolutely customized the experience for our various constituents.

We had Fabian Ramirez come out and speak to our GEAR UP families and we were really pleased and happy to have him!

Tanner Clark recently visited Johnstown High School to speak about the appropriate use of social media, and the response was overwhelmingly positive! His message about making positive online choices truly resonated with our teenagers. It is rare to find a speaker who can completely capture the attention of high schoolers while also earning high praise from the teaching staff, but Tanner delivered. His presentation was engaging, highly relevant, and impactful.

Tanner Clark was absolutely amazing! He brings energy and authenticity to important topics that can often feel cliché or boring for teens. You can genuinely feel how much he cares about each person in the room. I would 100% recommend Tanner!

Tanner Clark’s presentation struck just the right chord with our school community. Right from the beginning, he connected with our students, walking around the auditorium as students were entering to be seated, and “chatting it up” with them. This goes a long way with middle school students and was a great start to his presentation which not only addressed ways for students to be “the best version of themselves”, but also reinforced many of the values we teach within our school.

What we appreciated most about Dr. Julia Garcia was not only her professionalism but the genuine care and intention she brought into the room. From the moment she began, there was a warmth and presence about her that immediately set the tone for something meaningful. You could feel that this wasn’t just a presentation. It was an experience she truly cared about creating for the students.

She has an incredible ability to meet students exactly where they are and gently, but powerfully, draw them into her message. It didn’t take long before the room shifted—students were not just listening, they were engaged, reflecting, and opening up in ways that felt real and unscripted. What stood out most was how quickly she created a space where students felt safe enough to be vulnerable. That kind of trust doesn’t happen by accident—it speaks to who she is and how she shows up.

Chase Mielke was inspirational and also provided concrete steps for teachers to employ the next day. He is inspirational without being unrealistic – he is very in tune with the daily challenges that teachers face.

Ashley Bendiksen is phenomenal. She delivered a home-run presentation to a nearly all-male youth-mentor audience. Our conference attendees are still talking about her message several days later. You need her story to bring the message home at your next conference.

Kristina Kuzmic was so fun to work with! She is so kind, personable, and hilarious! I loved that she was open, flexible, and willing to accommodate the speaking program to fit the conference theme – it was a huge hit.
