Ashley – Chris Collins

The presentations provided by Christopher Collins are phenomenal. He is able to engage students in an interactive presentation that allows them to view leadership in a different light. The students continue to talk about the presentation and their experience  months afterward!

“CoolSpeak is highly engaged and energetic.  Their team of speakers allowed GU CT students to be excited about starting Grade 9 in the fall.  Students participated in team activities using leadership skills, critical thinking and how resilience is about life. Members of CoolSpeak shared their personal stories about their own journey as a student and their own personal struggles.  Through these stories, students were able to resonate with their own experiences and cultivate a meaningful connection allowing each student to own their authentic self.  I was honored to meet the team and have them as part of our GU services.”

“Natasha had so many great moments, but the best one was on Thursday when it was perhaps her hardest day emotionally, but it showed that students unconditionally trust her and because of that are able to share very intimate and sometimes traumatic parts of their lives.”
