A great night at Canadian Martyrs! Thanks to the parents for sitting through 30degree temps with no A/C! I appreciate the welcome back to your school. Thank You to the Principal and VP for their support in putting a great evening together.
Feedback from parents (copies of which reside at the school)
“Can there be another session?”
“I learn more every year”
“Another terrific presentation, Thank You for The Power!”
“Loved the presentation”
I am pleased to announce that I will be in B.C. in February speaking for four days. It is certainly a privilege and an honour to now speak in my fourth Province!

Back to school, and back to presenting! Looking forward to speaking to schools/students and parents/educators. It’s an exciting time of year for me

I’ve just completed a new section in my presentation covering Online Privacy. After speaking with 127,000 students, it’s funny how they seem to “expect online privacy by default”, but don’t quite understand how to address it. While verbally addressing it all of the last school year, I have now added visuals to help them better identify the “how and why” of Online Privacy.

Feedback from a parent, Calgary Alberta
“Thank you again for such a phenomenal parent session on Social Networking Safety at Tom Baines Junior High. It should somehow be made mandatory before any child or adult is equipped with a technological device! I am extremely appreciative to have been enlightened by your expertise and passion to share it with interested parents and students. It was your effective and dynamic presentation which captivated my daughter’s attention and her raving interest about your talk at Branton Junior High that ensured I would not miss another opportunity to hear you speak at Tom Baines (missed the adult session offered at Branton)”

After taking some time off to spend with family – it’s back to work! I have updated my presentation, which is now approx 35% newer content than just six weeks ago! When I was a student, it was this time of year that hearing “back to school” was not fun… but now, the thought of speaking with students and parents again is very exciting! I am looking forward to getting back to school.

As I look at comments/thoughts left for me by administrators from thousands of miles away – one piece really stuck out that I wanted to share with you:

My last school presentation for 2012/2013 took place yesterday. It brought to a close my busiest and most successful/rewarding term yet. Reaching new goals and changing more children’s & families lives! It’s a pleasure and honour to be able to reach so many. After re-charging the batteries, I look forward to the end of August – for the start of another busy school year!

Pleasure to speak at Saugeen First Nations today. And the first time I have spoken to a First Nations. Thank you to the local Ontario Provincial Police and RCMP representatives who sat through my presentation (and took lots of notes!). The two sessions went well. Thanks for the request to have me return – I appreciate it. I am also thankful for the additional hour spent with the OPP talking safety. Great community.
