can't afford to do anything less than be concerned.
Newsweek just came out with a gripping story about Colorado Springs students
and the suicide emergency their facing.

The sad truth is most of the principals I talk to want to do the right thing...but few of
them remember what it was like being a kid.
them remember what it was like being a kid.
And even if you do remember...it wouldn't matter anyway.
Because what students deal with today...probably far out weighs anything
you've ever seen as a kid.
I know because I've spent a great deal of my life working with educators,
superintendents, principals, directors, teachers and students just like yours...
Guiding them on to their next
best move after working with them only an hour a week.
Guiding them on to their next
best move after working with them only an hour a week.
And they all pretty much say the same thing...
"Students are having trouble paying attention and keeping their Focus."
Well just think about it...when you were a kid they only had a few choices
for television and now they've got hundreds.
There were only a few radio stations...and now they've got
thousands...plus podcasting out the wa-zoo and BlogTalk Radio too.
thousands...plus podcasting out the wa-zoo and BlogTalk Radio too.
Remember we had no cell phones...no cell phone notifications from Facebook...or
Twitter...Youtube or Snapchat. No emails...and definitely
no Instagram or World Star.
So are you starting to see the picture?
or would you like me to post up some pictures from my cellphone or upload
you a video to youtube?
I betcha don't remember doing any of that as a kid.
When I left corporate America to work closer with children...it was the
first time I heard of ADD & ADHD and now they say we all
are affected by attention deficit.
Can you hear me now...
and when would you like to talk about what I've learned these past
Fourteen years on how to get and keep your kids attention?
Plus the first thing you must do...in order to stop cluster suicides and the
suicide epidemic.

Wouldn't you like to know the discovery's I found?
...hanging out with kids before
they went to school (you'll never hear these kinds of conversations).
...teaching them during school hours
...eating lunch with students at lunch time
...tutoring students in every subject...during study time after school
...eating dinner with them every night
And then spending valuable time with them in the evening...during
recreation time...I became the proverbial "Fly On The Wall".
Many Educators think the following would be Impossible for anyone to do but...
I'll be happy to share with you how I consolidated 16 years
of research...down into 8 years...and the valuable lessons you can learn right now from that
Including the lesson plans and
time sheets...if you wanna see them...to prove that it did happen.
And this all happened...back when I worked up close and personal with students in
their classrooms...and then after school...helping students with their homework some 80 hours a week.

There were many details that needed to take place in order to tweak
these ideas I'm gonna share with you when we talk.
I'll even break them down into systems and processes for you...
if you'd like...the kind that will really matter to your students today.
And then out of no where...unexpectedly
An International Award for Lifetime Achievement just landed in my lap from
Nightingale Conant...the pioneers of professional and personal self development
training...started by two master teachers...Earl Nightingale and Lloyd Conant.
They've been changing peoples lives for well over half a Century and
I can't tell you how many wrinkles they put on my brain from studying their work.
And their executives told me they were watching what I was doing and how amazed
they were by the impact I was having with children and students.

Then to my surprise behind that...came the "Educator" award...
it's the highest honor any citizen of the United States can receive from the historic
American Red Cross...for the successful work I did as an Educator of children.

And while they've given away many Hometown HERO awards...it was the first time they
ever gave this award in their 124 year history.
Now don't get confused here...
I'm in no way bragging...because bragging isn't where your
students lives are going to be changed...
That's right...I said "changed" because that's what's
going to happen...as soon as we start working together.
I mention these things because when you're choosing an effective school speaker...
you want to know that you've picked
someone who can properly work with your students.
someone more than qualified...who can instantly see the problems your
students are having and make the right adjustments...right on stage or in the classroom.
You want to be sure that your school speaker is not going to be speaking over
your students head...or talking at a level they can't understand.
You want to be clear that your school speaker has actually spent time in the classroom...
working in the trenches with students versus sitting in a library somewhere...reading
books about kids.
I can assure you that if you're a principal that really cares...I'm just like you. I've had tens of thousands of teaching interactions with K-12 students over the decades.
And some of them have even shown up in three full page newspaper articles in Will County and
the front pages of newspapers in Kane County.
Furthermore it makes a powerful difference to your students...
because if you had to choose a
school speaker...you'd want to choose someone other school principals have already
had a great experience with...confided in and received help from repeatedly...over and
over again...sometimes for guidance and other times for advice.
Finally, I'll be happy to share with you the secrets learned along the way and even
the insights gained...that I guarantee...you'll hear no where else.
