Are you looking for a powerful high school assembly, a youth conference, a successful high school speaker, a powerful staff program, a middle school assemblies, a speaker for kids and teens? If yes read this:
Dear
Educator, Every high school deals with different issues… one is facing
school violence, another substance abuse, then some schools have a high rate
of teen pregnancy, and others school dropout – some feel they are dealing
with all of these problems! Then there are some schools who insist they are
facing none of these problems, however their students have an unhealthy
pressure to succeed, the overachieving kids who have threatened or even
attempted suicide! Are we teachers or are we therapists? Everything has changed in schools! While some politicians are “trying to help” by mandating test scores, and performance evaluations – the kids are falling through the cracks with huge personal issues! What should we do to effectively educate the children and still deal with all the issues they bring on the campus?
There are some amazing curriculums and programs that have
proven effective. Old standard
youth programs like Scouts, Boy’s and Girl’s clubs, and 4-H continue to
develop the best in kids! Leadership programs like DECA,
FCCLA, VICA, FBLA,
TSA, FFA, and HOSA have guided many teens into a successful professional life out of
high school! Very progressive student programs like S.A.D.D.,
Teen Institutes,
Youth to Youth, PRIDE, even the elementary program
DARE have made profound
impact on students making healthy choices. We have known forever that “it takes a village…”
unfortunately not everyone in town wants to be part of raising our kids.
Nevertheless parents and other adults have found programs that have allowed
their involvement in the school whether it is the PTO / PTA (Parent Teacher
Organization), Big Brothers Big Sisters or even groups like M.A.D.D. (Mother
Against Drunk Drivers).
Everyone seems to be looking for the “magic pill,” the
single answer to all of our problems… there is no such thing.
It takes all of these solutions and a lot of other efforts to even begin
to address these problems. There is one thing that all of these solutions have in
common… at one time or another every one of these programs have brought in a
professional speaker. Motivational
or otherwise – speakers have the unique ability to get parents, teachers and
students excited about making positive change. I have spent the past ten years introducing people like you
to Michael Scott Karpovich, Certified Speaking Professional, urging them to
consider using him for staff inservices, student assemblies, parent and
community programs. The response has been outstanding and we have been steadily
booking programs for schools, associations, human service agencies and community
groups well into 2006. Although our calendar fills up quickly, there are still
dates available for this upcoming program year. Because of the overwhelming
response we have received, however, we felt an urgent need to tell you to call
us NOW! You can’t afford to make this crucial decision without real
evidence that Michael really delivers what we promise. So just listen to
what some of his clients had to say of his work:
You would never forgive me if I didn’t offer you this opportunity. . .
Although our calendar is filling up quickly, there are still dates available for
this program year. Because of the overwhelming response we have received, we
felt an urgent need to let you know so that you would not miss this
opportunity...
You can host a program for your high school students, your middle school
students (Becoming the Best Generation™), your elementary school
students
During that same day, you can offer a program for your staff on preventing
burnout (The Art of Taking Care of Yourself™), or on the role of
a great teacher (Teaching the Best Generation™). After school,
you can sponsor another program for community leaders, local service clubs, your
hospital or perhaps the local police (Leave a Legacy™). Then, if
that isn’t enough, during the evening you can host a program for parents (Raising
the Best Generation™) that will feature how to communicate with
your children, the three "C’s" of effective discipline,
and how to teach self-esteem to your child!
Storytelling, humor and high energy are all tools that Michael uses to not
simply educate your students but engage them. This is a program they will not
soon forget! Some will laugh, some will cry … but all will learn.
Whether he is speaking about substance abuse prevention, student leadership,
self-esteem or his most popular topic -- resiliency skills… Michael’s
message will make a difference. His programs will change the entire student body
and its school environment. Wouldn’t it be great if kids were nicer to each
other?!
Michael’s ability to connect with audiences of any age, to deliver a powerful
message that doesn’t just inspire but changes people’s lives, and to offer
programs with value at a cost-effective rate, is unparalleled by other speakers.
His message will produce lasting results in your school system, association or
community group, and he will work with you in a manner that is professional and
flexible.
Don’t believe me... ask those who have hired Michael. I know that you can’t
afford to make this crucial decision without real evidence that he will deliver
what we promise. So just listen to what several recent clients had to say of his
work: 1.
"What can I say, ‘You were marvelous’. Thank you so
very much for your excellent presentation at both Whippany Park and Hanover Park
High Schools. Very few people have the ability to make pupils and adults not
only listen but really hear them. You are one of those people!" - Paula
Gallagher, M.A., Student Assistance Counselor, Whippany, NJ 2. "Michael is not simply good - he is one of the best. He
received a shouting, clapping standing ovation as our keynote speaker and packed
two large breakout rooms in his small group sessions later that day." -
Mary Alice Galloway, President, Michigan School Food Service Association 3.
"Not only were Michael’s words refreshing but teachers
were able to take home practical teaching tools to ‘revive’ and motivate

energetic, and effective.’ As a result of such positive responses, I intend on
inviting Michael back to our school district and encourage many other school
districts to utilize his services." - Mary Beno, Livingston Educational
Service Agency 4.
"What can I say! There aren’t

"I just want you to know how great the reaction has been
from the inservice training that you gave us. People haven’t stopped talking

responses were the most positive available!" - Julie Hickman, Marion

participants find warm, funny, emotionally provoking and both personally and
professionally enlightening." - Diane Vella, Performance Resource

real!’" Tobin Smith, Advisor, The University of Michigan 13.

many people. Your message hit home and touched many people, even to those who
didn’t want to admit it." Charles Schallhorn, Teacher, Munster High
School, Munster, IN 15.

"Thanks, Michael, for all your help and guidance...I am going to
spend more ‘quantity’ rather than just ‘quality’ time with my
kids." Janet Wendt, Parent, Nashville, TN 26.
"(the)...response to his message was so overwhelming. Mike has the
unique ability to pick out those students who are in need of a boost, give them

beings. He can easily peg the class ‘bully’ and the ‘nerd’ and make them

attention you did." Gordon C. Krieger 29.
"There are many speakers who are trying to sell their messages.
What is special about you and what you have to offer is that your ideas come
from the heart. You appear to be in tune with the population, mood of the
environment and apply your important messages accordingly. I have seen you speak
to a variety of populations and again, you were sensitive to Native American
issues here. ...Your message is causing positive action toward understanding
family dynamics, effective listening and communication skills, and doing our
best for the little ‘nerd’ inside all of us!" Lisa Johnson,
Coordinator, Chadron State College, Chadron, NE 30.
"High school students are a challenging audience to address and

entertained and educated our students and staff for ninety minutes. Our students

experience, to relax and let the ‘Karp’ weave his magic." Bob
Smith, Principal, Wickliffe High School, Wickliffe, OH 31.

********************* "Thank
you for a wonderful beginning to the school year. Michael Karpovich was one of
the most inspiring speakers I have ever heard. He will not only affect me as a
teacher but also as a wife, mother, friend and individual." -Teacher, Helendale School District,
Helendale, CA Dear
Colleague,
You can provide your school and community with programming that will increase
productivity, decrease apathy, and maintain perspective -if you act fast!
April and May are the months that most school programs are scheduled and
confirmed; however, some schools have become wise to the fact that many of the
good speakers are already booked by then, so they start programming efforts
earlier. When you consider your programming needs, you must have powerful,
effective and results-oriented programs. YOU MUST CONSIDER: 1.
A
staff in-service that motivates, educates and entertains.
2.
A
speaker who can positively touch the most cynical staff, while warming the
hearts of the most empathic. 3.
Community
programs that encourage the participation of parents and the whole community in
the education of our children. 4.
A
speaker who has the experience and ability to speak not only to teachers, but
also to school food service professionals, janitorial staff, bus drivers,
secretarial staff, administration, board members, parents, and the community as
a whole.
First, to make sure I am recommending the
right speaker for you, let me ask you these questions:
If you answered "NO" to even one of these questions, the speaker I am
about to introduce to you is not for you. Please read no further, do not
bookmark this site and surf on to another site with my apologies.
However, if you answered "yes" to all of these
questions, I have a speaker that is tailor-made for your school programs… THE SPEAKER YOUR STAFF HAS BEEN WAITING
TO HEAR! …His
name is Michael Scott Karpovich, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)!
When you invite Michael to present his programs to your staff or at your
professional conferences, your participants will learn how to effectively and
productively work in school systems or any workplace without sacrificing their
own lives! They will learn about the six stages of burnout and
discover practical ways to prevent them. Your colleagues will learn how they can
find their greatest strengths from their greatest adversities and
use that insight as a springboard to achieve greater success in their own lives
as well as teach that insight to others. Throughout all of Michael’s
presentations, you will see his unique ability to touch an audience and move
listeners to make effective changes in their lives. SUCCESS STORIES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!
Yes, Michael has presented to hundreds of thousands of professional educators
around the United States and Canada. His programs have run as intimate staff
inservices with as little as 6 participants to huge convention general sessions
with over 4,000 in attendance. Since he first presented it in 1991, his program
"The Art of Taking Care of Yourself ™" has been his
most popular staff program – bar none! Here
are a few stories of Michael's adventures: STANDING ROOM ONLY
In 1995, Michael was asked to present three sessions "The Art of
Taking Care of Yourself ™," "Becoming the Best
Generation™," and "MTV Mentality™"
for the Greater Edmonton Teachers Convention Association (GETCA) in Alberta,
Canada. None of the three were general sessions… all were breakout sessions.
Michael was distressed when he discovered the room had been set up for over 400
people! … Click here to see what
happened next… A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW WARNING: Do not read this if you have a
weak stomach…
This story is about a program that Michael presented to a group of Emergency
Nurses… the details are graphic. Basically, Michael had to follow a sad and
gory story about what these medical professionals unfortunately encounter in
their jobs. This account demonstrates Michael’s ability to follow even the
most difficult of programs.
They say the worst thing for a speaker is to follow children or animal shows.
Well, Michael may have that beat … Click
here only if you want the whole story… IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THERE…
Have you ever found a perfect match? A perfect friend? A perfect job? A perfect
place? Well, if you ask Michael, he will tell you about New York. He loves New
York. In the past decade, Michael has progressively been doing more and more
