Speaking
When hired by a local school districts, to do his thing, Bob typically does an assembly for the high school or middle school student body. His talks are tailored to the students needs by having building administrators select from the list of twelve topics in Bob's book.
After school Bob will stay to address staff members that might be interested in forming a reading for motivation club similar to the DragonSlayers Club Bob started at his school.
The Capac Middle School DragonSlayers Club (made up of seventh graders) did some remarkable things, including raising money for charities and taking some fantastic field trips! Bob then finishes his day in your community by addressing parents on helping the children to succeed.
Although Bob primarily speaks in schools, he will speak to any group willing to listen.

What are people saying about Bob's speaking abilities?
"Bob Owen was a fantastic presenter at our 'Foster Grandparent Program's Fourth Annual Workshop' and
'The Grandparents Raising Grandkids Conference' sponsored by the Council On Aging Inc. Serving St Clair
County, Michigan. Over 70 senior citizens attended the two day event in Port Huron, Michigan. Foster
Grandparent volunteers who attended the conference and workshop gave Mr. Owen"Superior" ratings on evaluations.
He was reccomended to us for his enthusiasm, sense of humor and expertise in motivating youth in successful
decision making skills. We were entertained, educated, motivated and mesmerized by his stories and his philosophy.
We have already in turn recommended him to other groups because we know they will not be disappointed in his
presentation. The majority of our attendees purchased one of his books, and some bought several to share with
family, friends, teachers and other professionals with whom they work."
Laura Nestle (Council on Aging)
"Mr. Owen's presentation to our 500 plus student body was amazing! It isn't very often that a guest speaker can
connect with middle school kids and capture their attention for over an hour but Bob did it! Not only were they
entertained by the audio visual stuff, but they were also challenged with thought-provoking ideas for reflection.
Following the assembly, students flocked to visit with Bob and asked questions and purchased his book. His
presentation was a huge success and we look forward to having him back at Augusta Middle School soon."
Rick Johnson (Assistant Principal)
"I have known Mr. Owen since his first day of teaching. I was in his class! He was a great influence on my life as well as
the many students he taught over his successful teaching career. When the opportunity rose to have Mr. Owen speak to the
students of our high school I was excited about the chance for him to spread his message. Our students actively participated
in the presentation and enjoyed learning, or being reminded, that Success is a Decision."
