★★★★★ Rated 4.9/5.0

Josh Shipp’s presentation was the perfect balance of personal story and strategies for our participants. He was so genuine and practical that everyone was able to relate and take away excellent nuggets of advice. He did his homework on our area and was able to connect his message to real life examples of what we are doing in our county. He was able to show, with the example of his life, the true importance of connection. We felt so connected to Josh even though we just met him.

Brian Williams was FANTASTIC! He was so engaging and tailored the content exactly to the right ages of the audience. The teachers, staff and students all really enjoyed the assemblies.

John Beede was engaging, inspirational, and personable. We had some local college students with us to present during the time John was not speaking. He stayed during their presentation and was engaged and interacting during their presentation. As the keynote speaker, he never made them seem secondary and made time to answer the students’ questions, although the event was for our managers. He accommodated photograph requests with our staff (even making sure we got a large group photo) and interacted with our group before and during the course of the day. Our staff provided wonderful feedback regarding John following the event.

We appreciate that Nicki Joiner worked to curate her content to fit the needs of the students and the purpose of the event. It helped the event to flow incredibly well and the students got so much out of it!

Josh Shipp’s talk moved many people and, as intended, increased and expanded our support base, raised up our mission, and clearly communicated the impact that one consistent, supportive adult can make in the life of a child. Josh’s moving speech helped us to exceed last year’s fundraising efforts!

Josh Shipp was personable, easy to work with, organized, and entertaining. He kept our audience engaged throughout his entire presentation. It’s rare to find a speaker like Josh who can address a serious topic such as childhood abuse, bring humor to it, and still convey the importance of having a CASA volunteer. He even handled the financial ask for us, which was huge. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive—something that has never happened before.

Nicki Joiner is excellent. We had a room full of students — they were engaged, they were excited, they were listening.

Cousin Danny motivates our kids, spreads happiness all over campus, and gets even the shyest students up and moving.

We had a great time with Eddie Cortes and would recommend him to other schools. He had great energy and a deep care for our students. We also liked that he created a simple way for students to take his message further, using creative baseball cards that they can discuss at home.

The energy was incredible and set the tone for our entire PD day. Cousin Danny was fun and received great reviews from our staff. Plus, we have seen some of the things he taught already used in our schools.
