Guest Speakers during the August Term



Daniel Gutierrez is an international business consultant, radio personality, renowned motivational speaker, and author who has inspired people to make positive changes that lead to success. Leveraging his experience, his infectious humor, and his deep belief that there is greatness in each of us has helped transform individuals all over the world. Daniel was kind enough to take time from his busy schedule to be a guest speaker for both Ms. Fontana’s College Writing and Public Speaking class in the August term. Daniel shared his real life stories that undoubtedly came from the heart and appealed to the many professions, ages, and cultures of the students. The students were able to identify with his experiences of pitfalls, celebrations, tragedies, and success in his search for inner peace. Daniel’s words of wisdom inspired the class to look at going beyond their limitations to find success. He was also generous in providing an electronic copy of his book “Stepping into Greatness” to each student.
