Welcome to my website...
Thank you for taking the time to check out our site! As you may already know, I am a motivational speaker, who believes that you should incorporate humor and a serious message into every presentation. I share stories with your staff that will remind them of their most important job, which is, I believe, to establish a caring and heartfelt relationship with their students. I believe teaching is a gift, and that in order for our students to learn, they must know that we care about them.
And I love to quote, "Kids don't really care how much we know until they know how much we care." I talk about kids and the basic needs they have that are not being met in far too many cases.
My books are filled with heart-warming and humorous stories gleaned from my thirty years in the public schools as a teacher, principal, public relations practitioner, and assistant superintendent. I've presented over 1500 speeches in almost all fifty states, and I will give you my heart and soul during the time allotted.
AND,BE SURE TO CHECKOUT OUR LATEST PUBLICATION,
"THE GRADUATE'S ADVICE BOOK."
I invited over 3500 Facebook followers to submit one sentence of advice for a graduate. The responses were overwhelming, and they came from people of all ages, all religions, all races, all creeds.
Since many submitted the same advice, everyone still received credit for their submission, and all of their hundreds of names are printed in the front of the book. In addition, it contains the speech, word for word, that I recently gave to a high school graduation class. I've included the lyrics to the two most frequently used graduation songs. I've included the familiar advice that has stood the test of time that you might have received from your grandmother or great grandmother. There's a chapter of quotes from famous people that will give hope and encouragement. Finally, I tell the stories of the three most memorable graduation ceremonies I've ever attended. I know your graduate will benefit from this amazing advice book.
If you wish to order books, open up "The Company Store." If you want them personalized or autographed, order from this site and indicate your request on the order form under comments.

REGARDING SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
It's been said many times, that "you may not remember everything he said, but you'll never forget how he made you feel." I hope you'll give me that opportunity to come and inspire your staff.
We currently are limiting the number of convocations, workshops and conferences, so contact us as early as possible to see if your date is available.
In the meantime, Karen and I send our best wishes to each of you, and thank you for all of the support and encouragement that you have given to us over the years. Please check back often, as we will be working often to add to the new site and make it relevant to your needs as teachers, parents, church staffs, etc.
Sincerely, Riney
