“Stephen presented at our Fall Advisors Conference for two solid days. He is a dynamic and passionate presentor who engaged the audience of advisors and gave them incredible ideas for their own councils. Every advisor walked away from the conference with new tools, projects and activities, but more importantly a feeling that their work is valuable!” -Terri Johnson, Executive Director, Missouri Association of Student Council
“Doing activities for over 20 years I have never met a person that is so passionate about student activities. I sit in awe of the amazing programs that he does at his school. Stephen is truly an amazing leader of youth and to have him speak to my students was such a privilege. My ASB students were inspired to go out and be better servants to the students at our school.” – Todd Arrowsmith, ASB Director West Ranch High School
“As an activities director for the last 10 years, each year brings a new set of students with fresh ideas and goals for the year. Stephen’s philosophies and concepts are refreshing. His personality and passion becomes contagious to all around him. For anyone that is new or veteran like me, his workshops not only enhance my vision and build new ideas, but bring a whole new awareness of how crucial and powerful the position of an activities director can be. I feel privileged to not only know him but to be in the amazing circle of people in this life changing career.’ –Julie Zimmerman Larrivee, Director of Activities, Madera Unified
“Stephen is not only a passionate speaker, but also an incredible group energizer and motivator. As a fellow conference facilitator, I have seen first-hand how powerfully Stephen can engage a room filled with over 500 attendees. It is obvious he is as dedicated to inspiration as he is to connection through play. With a consistent mix of team-building, laughter and leadership Stephen possesses skills that allow for the breaking down of perceived barriers within groups, allowing true connection to be fostered.” –Erin Haugh, San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, Healthy SBCSS
“Stephen, almost instantly, created a genuine bond with my students. They felt at ease, and instantly connected with not only his story, but his message. His message motivated my students, and was an immediate call to action.” –Scott Mendleson ASB Director Rancho Santa Margarita Intermediate School
“Stephen nails it! 4 Seasons provides a practical tool to organize and manage your year while providing a challenging focus in developing today’s student leaders. You will look forward to each season, every year with each new group of leaders!” –Leilani Baustista, Activities Director Grand Terrace High School
“Stephen is an amazing and seasoned presenter! His love for what he does and his desire to promote leadership principles in young people is a true calling. His story is one of service and his message of SERVE is a call to action, not only to students, but to their leaders as well. He not only “walks the talk”, he lives it!” –Petra Davis, ASB Advisor Las Flores Middle School, Las Flores, CA
“Stephen’s idea of using the four seasons to plan out your year completely changed my way of running student council and it has given my stuco officers a direction on how to lead our school throughout the year”. –Dave Kratofil, Smithville Middle School, Missouri, 8th Grade Stuco Sponsor
“Stephen is energetic and dynamic. He immediately draws in the crowd with his upbeat demeanor, and desire to connect one-on-one with the audience.
