“George once gave a keynote address to over 300 teachers and staff from our diocese entitled "Lessons Learned and Perspectives Gained – Reflecting on a Career in Catholic Education." And quite simply, he was probably the best speaker I’ve experienced in my thirty years of working in Catholic education.”

“One of the greatest challenges in getting speakers to speak to staff from all schools in a diocese is that you have attendees ranging from Pre-K through high school and finding folks who can meaningfully address that population can be a difficult task. George used stories and reflections from his 40+ years of service to capture the essence of what it means to work in Catholic schools resulting in loads of laughter, perhaps a tear or two, and more importantly, a roomful of teachers who could again recall the reasons they do what they do.”

“George kicked off our year presenting a 90-minute keynote address for all the teachers in our Diocese (Tyler, TX) called "Lessons Learned & Perspectives Gained – Remembering Why God Calls Us." It was light-hearted, spiritual, uplifting and genuine. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an inspirational speaker who will help teachers remember why we do what we do.”

“Mr. Valadie's words served as a catalyst for renewed enthusiasm and dedication among our faculty. His insights into creating a culture of teamwork and communication have already started to influence our approach to education. His visit was a true testament to his enduring commitment to education, and here at our school, we continue to implement his valuable insights into our daily work.”
