"Kevin has a unique ability to truly connect to all students that he works with. His engaging personality is complemented by his ability to use stories, humor, and music to demonstrate the importance of making positive decisions. His interactive presentation style, coupled with his personal stories of love and loss, provided each of our students with a unique takeaway that can truly make a positive difference in their lives. Our students loved the presentation and are still talking about it a week later!"
"Kevin was very captivating. The way he is able to connect with an audience is incredibly valuable. The value that he added to our program and the experience of our students was phenomenal!"

We thoroughly enjoyed having Kevin Mecchella come speak with our Middle School students this past month. His presentation, "Upgrade My Decisions" nicely aligned with our district Wellness Program and character education goals. Kevin was flexible and implemented our essential characteristics into his presentation to customize for our district.
A highlight of the program for me is that Kevin is available to stay after his presentations and join the students during lunchtime to continue dialogue in a more conducive setting. Students enjoyed speaking to him in smaller groups about gratitude, decision making and positive thinking. It is in these informal settings, and not in front of a large group, where productive exchanges often take place.
We were also able to supply some of our students with gratitude journals and positive post it notes that Kevin has available. Overall it was a success!
