I am a Canadian motivational speaker, workshop facilitator, and leadership teacher.  I've brought my message to leadership conferences, school assemblies, professional development sessions, graduation ceremonies, a Gay-Straight Alliance conference, and even a TED Talk called Kids These Days.  My mission is to spread the good word about today's positive school culture and to share what I have learned about developing young leaders.  

Some of the topics I've spoken about about include:  

• The truth about kids these days
• The human curriculum
• Transforming school school spirit
• How to build a strong leadership program
• Fostering a positive staff morale (active workshop)
• The magic of coming out

"I just wanted to say your words really stuck with me.  I've always been a strong believer in the fact that kids and today's youth have such a large impact on the world around us and that even just a few small actions make a huge difference.  I don't cry very often but when you told some of the stories today, I definitely had some tears coming down.  I really appreciate you coming to this conference and leaving a huge mark on the way I think of things and people around me."  - Matt, student at Leo Hayes High School 

"Thank you for your great talk today!  My students agreed that it was a highlight in their day!  I for one left feeling inspired.  It is my first year being a SRC advisor (and my first year teaching!) so I really appreciated the positivity and ideas."  - M. Lynch, George Street Middle School
