Dr. Reggie Wright exceeded all expectations. It was clear that Reggie put his heart and soul into making the discussion moving and meaningful. Reggie’s impact has extended beyond that one day, and I am certain it will continue to resonate within us for a long time to come."

“The energy that Dr. Wright brought to our convocation was amazing. I think our educators saw his compassion, and he kept it relevant. It was so easy to relate to what he was saying, and it inspired our entire staff to take his "nuggets" and easily apply them to our job.

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you- and comment on your presentation to our CareTeam this morning. You’re a truly gifted speaker, and I think it was a very worthwhile exercise for the staff. Your presentation really covered the spectrum in my opinion, and I felt your message “connected” with much of the staff.”

"Dr. Reggie Wright presented a riveting workshop entitled "Allergic to Average". His passion for students at large was not only evident but contagious. He gave a much needed refresher for our "why" and every educator needs an opportunity to glean from his expertise."
