Make your staff development, REAL!

The American’s with Disabilities Act is landmark, civil rights legislation. But, why present it as dry requirements, administrative policies and procedures when you can truly bring it alive through one who has “been there, done that” and survived, all because of public transportation?

• No “group hugs” – awareness is different then sensitivity.
• Frank, open, and honest when presenting personal experiences & responding to the audience’s questions.
• All disabilities interwoven and discussed throughout presentations.
• Multiple presentation styles – 1 minute questions, groups of 3, lecture, jokes – no podium holding here!
• Presentations customized to your need.
• Sleeves up or cufflinks - engaging to all audiences.

Easter Seals Project ACTION told Kevin’s pungent story in their publication, Stories of Changed Lives: The Personal Impact of Transportation Access. In their winter/spring 2004 edition of the magazine, Community Transportation, CTAA retold the story of how this man once again regained his independence, dignity and, indeed, his life because of public transportation. Kevin represents those we serve every day – those with obvious disabilities and those with hidden disabilities. The ADA comes alive when Kevin speaks about…

“Working from the heart.”

Comments from past participants:

“I’ve been in the transit business more then 18 years and have sat through a bunch of trainings. By far, this was the best. I highly recommend Kevin to other transit agencies.”

“Who would have thought a blind man could have opened my eyes so wide. Way to go doctor.”

“Probably the best motivational speaker I’ve ever heard. Where did you find him?”

“His presentation of the view from the top of the steps was the best. I had never considered that.”

“When someone dedicates a presentation to his adult children, you know a quality person is at the front of the room.”

“I felt his pain and his success. I have more to think about now when I adjust those brakes and stuff.”
