"Bringing Chaz Perez to speak to students makes every educator's goals more achievable."

Dr. Bernard Hamilton, Retired Superintendent, West Point, Mississippi

"I am pleased to express my utmost satisfaction with Chaz Perez's presentation. His ability to engage our students with his passion and inspiration for self-advocacy and a can-do attitude left a lasting powerful impact on students.

 

His dynamic presentation style, coupled with a genuine and relatable storytelling approach, captivated our students and encouraged them to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.  Chaz's message was not only uplifting but also aligned with our commitment to fostering resilience, determination, and a positive mindset among our students.

 

I wholeheartedly would recommend Chaz Perez as a guest speaker for an educational K-12 program or event seeking to inspire and empower young people."

"Mr. Chaz Perez's ability to capture our students' minds and hearts with his contagious energy and passionate storytelling was a moving experience. Our young scholars benefitted from hearing Chaz's story about "turning pain into passion". Any school would benefit from having a leader, "Chaz Perez", come and speak to their students."

Adam Canfield, Assistant Principal, Canyon Springs High School, Las Vegas, NV

"I've been in education for close to two decades. Prior to administration, I taught and served as a school counselor and now more than ever our students need social and emotional support, which is exactly what Chaz Perez provided. His presentation touched and inspired both staff and students."

"Mr. Perez's Turn Pain into Passion experience was nothing short of inspirational. The resonating message echoed long after its delivery, fostering a renewed sense of hope and purpose among those who heard it. Students and staff are still coming up to me weeks after our assembly to express how his message has positively impacted their lives. If you are thinking about hiring Chaz Perez to talk to your students, don't hesitate! I've been in education for well over a decade and Chaz's Turn Pain into Passion program was by far the best assembly we have hosted."
