Your Keynote Speaker: Walt Stasinski, MEd, MPH

Academic All-American College Football Team

I work with people who want fresh perspectives and real world ways to help them do their best on a daily basis. My Programs are ideal for people who want make their jobs more fun, improve employee performance, build better relationships with customers, make their presentations stand out and experience real success.

After earning a Masters Degree in Education from Wayne State University and a Masters Degree in Public Health (MPH does not stand for miles per hour) from The University of Michigan, I began my real education, in the school of hard knocks. My early "speaking" career began as a teacher and football coach at Wayne State University. This is where I learned how to motivate and inspire. I also found out that people learn more when they're having fun, so I use humor to get the message across to my audience. I have my personal reasons too. Let's face it; life is just a lot easier with a smile on your face and a hearty belly laugh.

I no longer see myself as a "speaker" but as a servant who needs to do what's best for the audience. To make an impact that help people make their lives better. This is all that matters, not the hype or the bells and whistles or the ego.

You may wonder what kind of speaking style I have. If Steve Martin and Dr. Phil could have a baby, it would be me. Now, don't let your imagination run wild. Audiences tell me that I am a cross between the two.

What others are saying about Walt:

"I received a lot of `gold nuggets' to take with me...the rest of my life."

--Theresa Thomas, Florida Association of Pupil Transportation

"I had just come out of a really 'down' school year and was honestly considering a career change when your program really changed my attitude and outlook on my job....Keep up the awesome teachings. You are truly inspiring.

--Debbie Carter, Missouri Association of Pupil Transportation

Walt graduated from the school of hard knocks. The solutions he offers are for the real-world. They are straightforward, common-sense ideas that will work in your life.
