The one thing that impressed me the most was the way in which you put the emphasis on being a "Black Belt" anywhere. The kids really bought into the King/Queen of Focus and Enthusiasm and we've been doing it ever since. I also liked the fact that you referred back to the brain while explaining each concept. I'm doing a lot of brain based research right now, so I love that.

I would tell other teachers (and already have) that the speech is about being the best you can be at home, at school and in life. It is a motivational tool to get kids to realize that they can do some simple techniques to improve their brains, self esteem and over success.

I enjoyed it a lot and would LOVE to have you back at least once a quarter if possible! My major "take away" from the speech was the fact that nobody has bad days, only bad events. That has changed my whole outlook on life and I thank you for that. I refer to that with the kids everyday. Thanks again!
