Teachers Experience
Here's some of the praise the Esteem Team has recieved.
I just want to say how outstanding Nick (Ugoalah) was today! He is a fantastic story teller that kept the children totally engaged with such an important message. We look forward to booking with the Esteem Team again next year.

I was amazed at how Corey was able to relate and capture the interest of students from K-9. His stories were relatable and interesting. He made a “memory: for our students. They will never forget this day. That, to me, is REAL learning!
Vicky Baron, Teacher, Holy Spirit Catholic School – Devon, Alberta
The students were engaged for the 50 minutes that Corey (Robinson) spoke. Corey was energetic, enthusiastic, showed a strong care for the students and of course, focused on the importance of goal setting. He is VERY comfortable with his role as a speaker and would highly recommend him to other schools as a result. He even took time at the end to autograph his cards and chat one-on-one with the students. He is a dynamic speaker!!!

Hi Esteem Team! I just wanted to say a big "thank-you" on behalf of the students and teachers involved in Friday's presentation with Brian Nugent. We had kids holding up their hands and saying, "I'll never wash this hand!" after giving Brian a high-five. They were truly inspired. Aside from the "mobbing' at the end, it was a flawless presentation.

Mon aspect préféré de la présentation a été lorsque Isabelle Turcotte-Baird a parlé de ses obstacles et défis. La présentation fut excellente à tous les points de vue. Merci beaucoup Isabelle!

Stella Umeh and the Esteem Team Program is a great way of giving the kids confidence.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario has been working with Motivate Canada for the past 2 years. Specific involvement includes incorporating the Esteem Team Program into our Hoops for Heart schools nationally including: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Each year thousands of schools across Canada get involved shooting Hoops for Heart and raising funds for Heart & Stroke Foundation. Students get active, learn about leadership and motivation and earn prizes by raising funds. The funds raised support vital research that leads to breakthrough medical advances, social change and health education. The partnership we have with Motivate Canada’s Esteem Team Program has contributed in helping us raise awareness for the importance of leadership amongst teens within the Hoops for Heart program.

I wanted to let you know that we welcomed Isabelle Turcotte-Baird last Friday, at our school. It was great! She is wonderful! The kids just loved her! We just wished we had more time with her! Thank you Esteem Team for making this experience possible for our school. We strongly enjoyed it!
