“Dear Mr. Howard: I want to first begin by thanking you for coming and speaking to our children on this very important and needed topic. Our students at Sandlick Elementary School enjoyed your presentation on “NO Bullying Allowed!” because you made it age appropriate, fun, and exciting. They loved your skits and motivational chants of inspiration on how to be a first class student in school and how they can confront bullying.
Your two school assemblies (Pre K-2nd grades and 3rd-5th grades) were very professional and you definitely have a natural talent to speak to and teach young children. It was a true pleasure working with you and we hope for future visits from you to our school.”

“The Goddard School was pleased to host Ty Howard as our very special guest speaker, for our spring Teacher In-Service. Ty kept all 50 Goddard Employees in attendance mesmerized with his enthusiasm, quick wit and stories with real-life examples of hope, determination, and encouragement. He made everyone feel individually and collectively proud to be passion-driven professionals in early childhood development. His practical strategies inspired and empowered us all to keep the momentum and stay positive in continuous excellence. When I asked my staff how they felt about the experience, it was unanimous! All were excited for having been part of the event. A few of the words which were used by my team to describe both Ty and his message are entertaining, truthful, heartfelt, positive, thought-provoking, and insightful.

“Dear Mr. Howard: On behalf of the planning committee, executive leadership, and educational staff of Community Action Project of Tulsa (CAP Tulsa), we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your motivational keynote address to open our Pre-Service Educational Conference. Your presentation, Re-Igniting and Re-Capturing Your Passion, to our audience of over 500 educational professionals was very relevant and was expertly tailored to our audiences’ challenges and goals. Your passion to help confront the issues our early educators face when working with families in poverty, along with sharing your own personal stories, really touched the hearts of the audience and made your presentation rich and meaningful.
The feedback from your session was extremely positive. Participants cited how interactive and engaging the keynote session was, and that it was relevant to their lives and connected to our work here at CAP Tulsa. I know that this was the result of many months of talks that you and I had about our culture here and some of our goals, and your very careful preparation to make your presentation as targeted and applicable to our issues as possible. Participants also liked the self-reflection involved in your presentation and felt that this element helped make them more accountable to use the lessons learned after the conference.
In addition to the keynote, you spent the afternoon delivering a customized session to our center director on Excelling in Teamwork. Their feedback was also quite positive, as you were able to share your expertise and insight and also “bring it home” for them and provide actionable guidance.”

Headline: Ty Howard’s Speech – ( You Were Born to Be G.R.R.R.R.E.A.T.!!!!TM )
“Ty Howard’s speech was very motivational. He inspired people to be great as in to do your best at what you do. Also, he told the audience to be educated, or else you won’t go far in life. This reminded me to always study to get good grades.
Ty had a key to his speech using nine words; gifted, respectful, responsible, resourceful, resilient, educated, action-driven, and triumphant. All of these words inspired me to work harder in school and to never give up. He also told us, students, to be respectful to adults because they are the people we look up to. It made me think about being nicer to my parents so we can get along more.
After the speech was over, I thought about my life and how I will change it to help me make better decisions. Like doing my homework before I go outside to play with my friends. Also to listen to my elders so I know what to do when I reach the outside world. He also taught me that education is very important so now I know to take it more seriously.”
