STUDENTS & EDUCATORS
(Elementary, Secondary, Post-Secondary)
I’ve been teaching for 16 years, and Kwesi is the most down to earth, engaging speaker we’ve ever had!
“We had Kwesi come into our school to present to our intermediate division this past year. Through his presentation, students received a powerful message on mental health, and were inspired to continue nurturing their mental health in a positive way. Kwesi was engaging with the students and ultimately made students feel connected and heard. We feel blessed to have been able to provide this incredible learning opportunity to our students, and hope to have Kwesi come back for future presentations!”
To keep the attention of Grades 3-6 with total engagement for 45 minutes says a lot. To keep the attention of Grades 7-12 for an hour, with them and their teachers/principals wanting more time also says a lot. I would highly recommend you booking Kwesi without any hesitation or reservation!
Kwesi spoke to our students and we had him BACK and he absolutely nailed it when he spoke again to our board members. We loved his sincerity, honesty, and the power of his message.
We had Kwesi in to speak to two groups of our grade 3-5s. Our students were engaged and inspired by his message of resilience, confidence and positive outlook. Kwesi connected very effectively with this age group, involving them in call and response and other participation opportunities. Both staff and students have thanked us for bringing him in and expressed hope that we will have him again.
In these trying times, my students needed to be inspired and for many reasons we as a community needed to make a culture shift. It was difficult to believe that one speaker could help us do all these things, until today! Kwesi’s story was motivational, inspiring and he knew how to grab students attention. Students have even requested that he returns! Kwesi was very easy to work with. I asked him to “tweak” his presentation to meet some of the needs of our students and he was very flexible and delivered! Thank you Kwesi.
Kwesi empowers today’s youth through social emotional learning which is fundamental in navigating leadership, and life in general. He does this through facilitating self awareness, self confidence, resilience and compassion. Kwesi is a simply a natural and the reason he’s so effective at what he does is because you cannot compete with passion!
Your positivity and honesty are so refreshing! I am an English teacher who has seen what covid learning / teaching has done to our community and your sentiments are coming through at the perfect time! My students really respected your candour and bravery and I am certain what you have shared with them will stay with them. I truly believe your words will shape them to be more kind, more present humans moving forward. You are a fabulous example of bravery, strength, and optimism! Keep sharing your message – you are making the world a better place!
FIRST RESPONDERS & CORPORATE
Kwesi was a captivating and motivating speaker. It is truly inspirational about how he did not let unfair adversity and hardship ruin his life. Quite contrarially, it allowed him to rise up and find new meaning and purpose. Learn from this gifted speaker. Bravo!
Kwesi has spoken at several of my events and knocks it out of the proverbial park each and every time! There’s a reason we keep asking him back! He connects immediately with the audience, sharing his experiences with honesty, candor, and humour. But don’t just take my word for it, here are some attendee comments from a recent event: “Excellent speaker and presentation. Very inspirational. Enjoyed it very much and learned a lot of useful information that I will try to incorporate into my life. Thank you.” “SO far the best presentation. The content was on track to my own life circumstances.” “Would love to see Kwesi Millington at future conferences. Thank you!”
Kwesi is a dynamic Speaker! During his presentation at the Invisible Wounds Conference for First Responders, Kwesi increased awareness, shared depth of experience, described tools to develop resiliency, and provided hope to those struggling with occupational stress injuries, PTSD and other challenges that might impact mental health. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a Keynote speaker or mentor.
Kwesi is not just a speaker, he is a world changer by sharing stories, building connections and delivering a message that can move and inspire any audience. Kwesi is the perfect speaker for your next event. You will be in awe of this story of strength, resilience, and hope.
We had Kwesi into our law firm to speak to associate lawyers about resilience. He did a great job! Engaging speaker and our associates learned a lot from him.
Kwesi did an excellent job speaking at our Security • Police • Fire Career Expo. He was engaging, had the audience on their feet and touched on some very real issues our audience had questions about: the challenges of being a first responder, the importance of maintaining balance in personal and professional life, and how to find resiliency in the face of adversity.
