"Alex-Zan's staff development session on self-esteem was superb!" - Teacher Specialist

 

"On behalf of New Kent Schools, thank you for playing an important role in the motivational program. Thanks to you, our students are off to a great start! Your enthusiasm and optimism are contagious. The very positive message you send young people is most appropriate and needed."
School Superintendent

"Alex-Zan is a superb motivational speaker. Over the past seven years, he has presented a motivational workshop for our students. The impact he has on the group is phenomenal. His message of determination and responsibility hits home every time because he approaches the students from a position of respect. He understands their questions, their doubts, their hopes and dreams. While he constantly returns to a theme of self-reliance and perseverance, he listens and responds with spontaneous wisdom to the real-life concerns of each individual. The goodness and sincerity that he radiates seem to empower others with those same precious qualities.
College Professor, Piedmont Community College

 "Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in your dynamic presentation of "Take A Moment." Your ability to seamlessly weave motivation with education using material that is relevant and entertaining is remarkable. In fact, just yesterday, I was in contact with one of the students, and provided him with information on how to utilize his hidden treasures. I had spoken with him previously, and was unable to motivate him to participate, so I credit your program with his very positive change in attitude, and newfound confidence in his abilities. As I shared at the conclusion of your session, much of the material you presented rang true in terms of my life and personal success. Had I had the benefit of hearing from someone like you at the age of the students in the Promise Program, I have no doubt that I would have saved years of struggle!"

"His program is multifaceted and has many layers of education and enjoyment. He interacts extensively with the audience. His program is multiethnic, and includes participants of both genders and all ages. He incorporates several very positive messages into his program: self respect, respect for others, the positive feelings of good behavior, the importance of liking yourself, and the many benefits of good behavior. He is lively and fun and yet his presentation is full of "advice" without the participants being aware that they are being taught something. I am not aware of another performer / storyteller who combines a behavior or moral lesson with entertainment. His work is quite unique in its combination of motivation, entertainment, education and behavior training. This makes him most welcome in any number of locales."
