Tom Hierck Speaking Testimonials

Many teachers have expressed how exciting and inspiring your presentation was. I found your words to be a reminder of what I know to be a solid and worthwhile practice, but don’t always follow. Thank you.

My background has been in sports and coaching, so I have spent a great deal of time in the US, in Kelowna and Vancouver at clinics where some of the best coaches in the world have spoken. There are too many to say but the point is some are better than others and some are great. The good news is you are as good as the best of the best.

Have to say, Tom, without a doubt, in my twenty-eight years as an educator in NL, your presentation today would certainly rank among the top three of all I’ve had the opportunity to attend and listen to in the nearly three decades.

Tom, you held the audience for an entire day. The message was inspirational; it came from both the heart and the head. Your credentials as a teacher shone through and your empathy, compassion and beliefs about success for each student shone through. As one with many years of experience in education, I can safely say, your talk was hope-filled and fact-based. You showed not only that students are success stories waiting to be told but that the same is true for teachers.

Leo Chaland

Catholic Independent Schools

The presentation that Tom gave to our Family of Schools (500 staff). The audience was completely engaged…………from silence to laughter and even perhaps tears. The feedback from principals (secondary and elementary) and teachers alike was incredibly positive and enthusiastic. Tom made us reflect on the “heart of education” and our key roles in providing student success. He didn’t pull any punches and at one point said that “if you don’t believe that all children can succeed and that failure is not an option then you should get another job.” Tom’s presentation made an incredibly powerful impact on the hearts and minds of staff!
