Scott P Inspiration has presented for me at many schools. He speaks in a genuine and authentic manner and presents information that is informative and relevant to the audience. Students are actively engaged and keep the dialogue going well beyond the Q&A.

Scott just spoke at my Middle School of approximately 700 students. He captured the attention of the students and staff throughout each presentation. Scott tailored each presentation to fit the age of the audience and delivered his impactful message seamlessly! I would highly recommend having Scott speak at your school or organization!
