★★★★★ Rated 4.9/5.0

Ketric Newell made the keynote relatable and fun, he even used current slang that the students know and love.

Nicki Joiner was not just extremely knowledgeable and helpful in the tangible content she provided, but her energy was a true highlight. It was such an engaging and high-energy program.

Mickey Rowe was an absolute delight at our gala, and we had so much fun. He shook every hand, gave every hug, and we loved his story. We’d love to have him back in the future.

Kyle Quilausing was relatable and his story was inspiring and uplifting. Our students couldn’t stop talking about him and how this is the first time they have enjoyed a presentation.

David Flood was tremendous last week. He was not only terrific during his presentation, but he also took a great deal of time before and after the assembly to speak to many members of our school community. He was genuinely interested in getting to know all of them. During the assembly, he had everyone listening intently from start to finish. His messages about inclusion, acceptance, and showing up for others really resonated with everyone!

I had high expectations for Mickey Rowe’s presentation and he far exceeded those expectations.

Brian Williams was very personable, energetic, and relatable with the students. He really knew how to captivate the two audiences: K-5th and 6-8th. Two weeks later, I see reminders of the kindness movement around the school, like posters and student council announcements. The K teacher reached out to thank us and mentioned that her students are still using some of the kindness teachings.

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.
