"Hal, I just wanted to personally THANK you for your presentation today. It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear! You were inspiring, motivating, captivating, and so on! What a blessing! I told my principal today upon returning to school how awesome you were and how much the teachers from our school (Auburndale High School Bloodhounds) enjoyed the day! Thank you again, you made a profound impact on my teaching career, and I give YOU a loud, exuberant standing ovation!! :)”

"What an awesome, inspirational day! The two other teachers that I was there with and I haven’t stopped talking about the day since lunch on Monday! Amazing! Everyone keeps asking us about the workshop, but we have a hard time saying anything. We can’t do you justice! Awesome job, sir! Thank you for the awesome experience!”

"I just returned to northern Indiana from your Nashville conference! Wow, I am so excited to go to work tomorrow. Two of our teachers came to your Indy conference this year and 8 of us (front row today) had to come see what we missed. You have had such an impact on our school, as a result of the first two teachers coming to see you! We adjusted some of our discipline practices and are focusing on social connections with our students. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for student success.”

"It was an AWESOME day! Tyler teachers and mentors are still rockin’! I have heard nothing but accolades for your presentation on Monday. My concern was if you made it to your flight on time and that Matthew didn’t get pulled over for speeding! Looking forward to seeing you again next year!”

“LIFE ALTERING! The teachers raved about Be The One and were forever impacted. Our student mentor group has taken on a life of its own and it has inspired them to be so much better than they were and to work as a more cohesive group.”

“The entire Be The One program was AWESOME! My teachers and students are so excited! Hal was amazing! He worked with a group of our kids for a few hours and made such an impact on them. If he can do that in a few hours we should be able to make a connection seeing them every day!”
