THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE

I am by no means an athlete.  The closest I've ever been to athletic was my days as a high school cheerleader and even that is questioned by many as to whether or not it's a true sport!  So, a year ago, I set out in search of something to help motivate me to be more active.  I've never loved running, but it has always helped me shed unwanted pounds.

Tyrone Smith participated in a college speaking tour in California on February 17^th and 18^th.  Tyrone Smith spoke to college students and staff at various community colleges which included Reedley Community College in Reedley, Willow International Community College in Clovis, and Madera Center Community College in Madera, California.  The college students were inspired to value their life experiences, and challenged to develop action plans to help them accomplish their goals in life. .

Tyrone,
I attended your seminar last week at Willow International. I just want to let you know that you gave an outstanding presentation. I could sum it up with one word "Real". You were genuine and I knew you were speaking directly from your heart. Keep up the good work!

In February, Tyrone Smith was sponsored by the Horace Mann Companies to speak with the local elementary, middle, and high school students of Marion ISD.  The students were encouraged and enriched by the compelling speech that urged students to see the "power within their own possibilities".  Students were uplifted by the message that no obstacle is a mountain to large to be moved, and learned that failed experiences can be fuel for motivation instead of excuses for quitting. Each student left with the challenge of being positive leaders in their schools, homes, and communities.

Tyrone,

Awesome presentation today. I was quite impressed. I know how hard it is to keep a high school audience focused and involved. I personally think you did an awesome job.  I feel that I can tell you this due to the fact that I have been a tad more fortunate than other students and have gotten to experience many motivational speakers. Most have life-touching stories that are quite inspiring but they fail to get audience involvement, and that I have found is a very important factor in keeping the crowd interested.

You did a super job and I want to thank you so much for coming out to our school.   I think our students were really interested and impressed. So thank you so much! I wish you much luck in your future presentations! Have a fantastic day!

I loved the speech that you and Team First and Goal provided for us. Many of the things that you guys spoke upon us can be very helpful towards our futures. Also many of the topics of the seven P's helped me realize that I can do alot more than what I once thought. Thanks for the good words of advice Tyrone Smith...
