His messages were right on target for what high school students need to hear, but he snuck them in while keeping them totally engaged with his music, dance, and all round entertaining style. We laughed, we cried, we danced - it was awesome. Best speaker in my 13 years of attending these type of conferences. My students are not easily impressed and they ALL said he was great.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of D.A.R.E. America, I would like to personally thank you for presenting your workshop. This year’s conference was the most successful national gathering of D.A.R.E. officers and educators yet, with almost 3,000 in attendance. The reviews have been fantastic. Much of the credit belongs to you and your knowledgeable and worthwhile presentation. - Glenn Levant

I think that Eddie is a fantastic speaker for all ages. I saw him with a group of students and adults and he had everyone up on their feet having a great time. Eddie brings the audience to laughter and tears - all during the same presentation. He is the best speaker I have ever seen!

Thank you so much for your awesome presentations at our National Leadership Conferences. Both our high school and college divisions truly enjoyed your inspirational presentations. Getting the conference off to a dynamite start is very important as it sets the tone for the whole meeting. You provided that for us and we are truly appreciative. - Becky Grant

I heard so many positive things about your presentation when my students returned to my classroom. Mike announced to no one in particular that he'd never heard of "the lawnmower" before and said that he loved it. Dan perched atop his desk, which is very uncharacteristic of him, and said to himself, though audibly, "I just feel so much better after that." Amanda screamed that it was the best assembly she attended in her three years at Oswego East. You do fantastic work, sir, and I and Oswego East appreciate you. Do not stop what you're doing. You're desperately needed by the staff and students of my and many schools across the country, and I look forward to infusing a little of that positive energy into my own classroom. - Justin Howard Query

I cannot convey with enough enthusiasm in a letter how strongly I feel that Eddie Slowikowski can do far more than just be a speaker for a training or institute. Our evaluations came back at almost 100% approval of Eddie and his message. I have never read such positive evaluations of any speaker we have provided. - Dr. Robert Dyer

Eddie provided our group with laughter, a different way of thinking, and the challenges each person has to face over the course of a lifetime. His unabashed way of bringing the audience together using his highly skilled dance routines and his gift of energizing the audience was amazing. - Nelda Ramsey

Who would have ever guessed that 10.5 years ago when I went to my niece's
graduation all the way out to Austin, Texas that I would have heard this man speak -
he captivated an entire building of people, from young to old! And then, that I would
have been around 10.5 years later to see so many of the young people who heard
him be so affected by what he said - that their lives are radiant! Not to mention how
you surely touched my heart. And then, you rock the folks at VR with your message. You are a blessing in so many ways, Eddie! You just keep on giving, God
bless! - Sissy Walton
