“For the past eight years Ed Gerety has been and continues to be the keynote speaker at all of our New Student Orientation programs at Fordham University.

Ed is the person you want to want to work with if you are looking for someone who is personable, is of high Integrity, and produces great results.” - Jennifer Mussi, Ph.D. Assistant Dean, Student Affairs Fordham University, New York
“The school was a “buzz” after your presentation. You impacted the lives of over 2,400 people. I know we will definitely have you back soon. I’m sure the kids and teachers will carry your message throughout the school year.” - George A. Roberts, Principal Perry Hall High School Baltimore, Maryland
“The best part about Ed’s message was that it has lasted well beyond the one day of assemblies. Ed challenges his audience to think and analyze and then to act. His message emphasizes the basic human values of kindness, gratitude, respect and attitude. You can’t help but leave his assembly and want to act to make yourself, your school and your community better. This is my 37th year in education and my 12th year in administration. Ed Gerety’s assembly was easily the very best I have ever been to and the one assembly that has had a long lasting impact on our school.” - Joseph P. Scheideler Principal, Canton Middle School CT Association of Schools Middle School of the Year 2008-2009
“We have a student population of 1900 students and have an auditorium which seats just over 955 comfortably…Ed Gerety is one of the best speakers we have ever brought to our school. He gave two outstanding performances to a packed house. Our students received the message with outstanding results. The auditorium was absolutely quiet, interrupted by cheers, clapping and even tears…and ended with a standing ovation in both presentations. Ed uses stories, humor and metaphors from his own life that very clearly illustrates the points he makes. Ed cares about you, your school or organization, and your people. In today’s vernacular Ed is “real”. You or your team of people will be met with a man whose passion is real, palatable and transformative. Months after we hosted Ed we are still seeing students’ reference examples from the program in their writing and discussion here at school.” - Park Ginder, Assistant Principal, Carroll High School Fort Wayne, Indiana
“I have seen a positive change in my school climate this year and attribute much of that change to the challenges Ed presented in early September. “Make a difference”,”Be respectful and responsible”, and “Tell someone that you love them” have been themes consistently observed at our school. Ed’s ability to motivate others is a gift; his message is important for all students to hear.” -Ginger Ramsey Principal Brooomfield High School Broomfield Colorado
“This was one of those rare assemblies that completely captivated and inspired everyone present…..Ed had an immediate and long lasting impact on our staff and students.” - John House-Myers Principal, Bow High School Bow, NH
