When Howard Behar speaks to my Executive Leadership class he touches students' hearts, provokes their curiosity, and calms their fears. By sharing his story, by being vulnerable, Howard inspires the next generation. "I found myself fighting back the urge to throw my hands in the air and yell, Yes, preach! Preach! as if I was in church," exclaimed one student. "I wanted to snap my fingers in agreement as they do during spoken word poetry slams."

Howard Behar's presentations are acts of service to everyone in the room.
