(2/10/09) Cherokee Teen Leadership

What a fantastic group! Out of many applicants, the leadership chooses twenty high school sophomores each year to learn leadership and entrepreneurial skills. In teams, they meet with bankers and other professionals to start imaginary businesses and compete with each other. I handed out full notes and told them, "I'm not here with my own agenda; I'm here to serve you. I can go through all this material, or, you can ask questions and interact based on the topics I'm covering." Once we hit the first topic - "Catching a Vision for Your Finances" - they were off and running. Great interaction. Great group.

"Amazing! I learned a lot about finance and investment."

"Huge help because I had no idea about financials."

"Off the chart. This was life changing."

"Made me think."

(1/2-1/4/09) Singles "Personal Finances" retreat at Mount Airy, Georgia.

  

"I love the illustrations!"

"I liked the investment ideas."

"I liked the activity where we told each other our strengths."

"This is such useful information."

(3/8/08) Workshop I led at the Georgia Writers Association . (I blogged the content in eight entries as "Publishing Without a Platform." )

"Super enthusiasm, inspired me very much."

"Very engaging from the beginning to the end - used a wonderful, real, storytelling method to keep the audience interested. Very good advice."

"You create hope, where it is usually dashed. What is greater than that?"

"Informative and laid back."

"Informal and very inspiring. Thank you so much for all the great information!"

"Fed me ideas like potato chips."

"Lots of information, especially about useful books and Web sites."

"You have a great sense of humor and lots of information to share. I really enjoyed all of this! Thank you!

"It was good that you asked for input from the audience. Wonderful handout."

"Positive speaker offering hope, knowledge and inspiration. Helpful tips on building a platform from someone who's been through it before. Excellent information presented in a fun, upbeat format without the arrogance you find from other speakers. Good understanding of the audience - from novices to different genres."

(Winter, 2008) Kennesaw State University Annual Conference on Literature:

(I blogged the content in nine sessions at http://www.valuesblog.blogspot.com and placed it as an article, with power point and handouts at 
http://www.character-education.info .)

"Your enthusiasm is contageous."

"Down to earth & practical."

(Summer, 2007) Church Series on Personal Money Management:

"The members of my care group last night were buzzing with high praises for yesterday's service  Two members commented on how plugged-in their young-adult kids were to these messages on finances, presented in a style that seemed approachable and achievable to them - that God really wants them to be financially free."

" ...Steve has really gotten my two teenage boys excited about saving."
