Guy Doud was terrific! Exactly, what our folks needed in these trying times. He was dynamic and motivating. Only good comments on the evaluations. Thank you so much for all your help and support in setting this up.

Dear Mr. Doud: On behalf of the teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrators of the Indian River School District, I would like to express our deepest appreciation for your visit on September 2. Many proclaimed the "Return to School Celebration" the best opening session in the history of the district! Your message motivated each member of the staff to embark on a new, challenging 1998-99 teaching journey, one which will provide passage for all students to a richer, more rewarding learning future. Thank you for sharing so much of your past and your passion. Indian River's spirits and determination to make a difference in student's lives have never been stronger.

Susan Bunting, Director of Instruction, Indian River School District

Dear Guy: What an outstanding presentation you made to our Association's Annual Convention in Pinehurst, North Carolina on September 29, 1998. You are the first speaker we have had to receive a standing ovation! Thank you for sharing your stories of teaching in such a wonderful way. Your ability to intertwine tragedy and humor was fantastic. Before the tears could trickle down the faces of our members, you had them laughing. What a technique you have developed to get the thrust of your message across to your audience. Again, Guy, thank you for being such an outstanding part of our program and please continue to "Mold Dreams."

William Redman, North Carolina Telecommunications Industry Assoc.

Guy Doud, he was absolutely amazing! He was the most touching and inspiring of our speakers and someone who effectively brought to light the reason educators choose this field. He had the audience laughing and crying. So many participants lined up to talk to him; to let him know just how personally he had touched them.

Thank you to the BEST keynote speaker I have ever heard... He was the best part of my three days attending the conference.

It would be a tremendous understatement to say Guy’s presentation was a huge success. The feedback I received was unanimously positive. His remarks were “spot on” for the occasion and very well received. He is a true delight!!! Thank you so much for steering me in his direction.

Melinda Robinett, Ed.D., Executive Director of Educational Services, Wythe County Public Schools

I heard you speak a few weeks ago at my District Day (Red Clay in Wilmington DE), and as a first year teacher, you truly touched me. What an amazing person you are! I was so moved by your story and love for teaching. I was nerves in starting this second career, but after hearing you talk, I realized that being a teacher is what I am meant to do. I just wanted to thank you for motivating me to have faith, not only in myself, but in the idea that I am making a difference in my students lives.

June Ashby - Behavior Interventionist, Baltz Elementary School

Our Spotlight event was a huge success! We had over 230 people in attendance and they loved Mr. Doud.
