Empowering Students Toward Common Goals:
Q&A isn’t just for the end! Create a conversation with a presentation format to actively involve students and encourage participation. Speak to Students’ interactive approach fosters ongoing discussions that continue well beyond the presentation.
Students from rural, urban, and suburban areas share many commonalities. Our differences are simply that—differences. Speak to Students programs facilitate conversations among students, focusing on shared experiences and similarities.
Byron empowers students where they are at to envision their future with a personal framework to make a positive impact in student lives, communities, and in their world.
Discuss Diversity. Create Connection. Encourage Inclusion. Promote Peace.
There has never been a better opportunity for us to live respectfully together and benefit from each others wisdom and experience. Create conversations and celebrate the similatrties of our cultural differences with the interactive presentations of Speak to Students online.
Relevant Topics Connecting Students Together
Our differences can often create divisions, fueled by fear, uncertainty, and discomfort. However, when we engage in dialogue and share our stories, we discover more similarities than differences. By conversing with people from diverse backgrounds, we learn that our differences are simply unique perspectives.
Speak to Students collaborates with schools to foster ongoing conversations among students, extending beyond the classroom and into our communities. We bridge the gap between students, curriculum, and community with educational, interactive, and enjoyable presentations for students in rural, urban, and suburban schools. Our interactive design empowers students with actionable information, promotes peace, and addresses issues of incivility, threats, and violence. We focus on practicing respect, tolerance, equity, and acceptance of differences.
With Speak to Students online, teachers can enjoy the same interactive and educational experience as having Byron speak to their students live—conveniently fitting your schedule and budget.
Diversity Matters
Celebrating the Similarities of Cultural Differences
Interactive by Design: Bring a world of experience to your students with an interactive presentation celebrating the similarities of our cultural differences. Using a question and answer format engages students and facilitates stident involvment. Sharing stories of success and failure communicating across cultures, students learn and experience for themselves that no matter what our differences, we all have very much in common. Byron is NOT your typical presenter, and this is NOT your typical diversity presentation.
Promoting Peace
Student Strategies to Act with Respect Everyday
In the crazy times our students live in, right now is a great time to involve your students in a discussion about making their world a better, more just, and safer place.

3 Years in Japan
3 Years in Japan is one of my signature stories. It is a personal example for students how the more we know about people, the more we see we have much in common.
What Makes Us Us?
While I most often talk about cultural diversity there are many characrteristics that make us who we are as individuals.
Here I talk about the characteristics other than
culture that are central to who we are.
My World of Experience
Brining Your Students a World of Experience is the first tag line I used to market myself when I began speaking. But it is much more than just my tag line, it is my promise to bring my world of experience into each and every presentation for your students.
