Hello and to whom it may concern as Rodney’s supervisor I believe he would be a great speaker for any event that you would like. His wide range of skills are perfect for any event. Currently he does a weekly Life Skills presentation with our boys at work and they all enjoy it!

Audience engagement
All the boys were attentive and paid attention the whole time. Which is hard to do with some of our residents.
Subject matter expertise
Motivation, self-esteem, potential, over coming fear and life obstacles.
Rodney has a wealth of experience and knowledge working and communicating effectively with teens and adults. He does a good job of mixing humor and crowd interaction to maintain attentiveness. I would highly recommend him as a public speaker.

Audience engagement
Everyone was locked in and wanted to know more. Rodney has a way of grabbing and keeping everyone's attention. His "pay attention prize" at the end was a big hit!
Subject matter expertise
Not allowing the past to dictate your future and what it really means to succeed in life.
Rodney is an extremely motivating speaker. What he says and the way he prepares his speeches resonates well with his listeners. The topics and attention grabbers that he uses keep his listeners invested. He’s experienced a lot in his life and he uses those experiences to provide help and knowledge for others.

I have personally heard Rodney May speak at one of his seminars. He exhibited great engagement with his audience. He had wonderful subject matter and messages for teenagers. His seminars really helped my own children become more responsible and self-aware.
