Engaging Presenter
On June 12, 2012 James facilitated our "Diversity in Action" webinar. In his presentation, James used a zooming slideshow and video platform to create a dynamic live session. He incorporated a variety of techniques that allowed our webinar attendees to both participate and to generate their own ideas. James included take-aways. These tools will help administrators lead diversity initiatives and help staff create more inclusive and respectful communities.

Genuinely Impressed
After a couple of brief conversations with Mr. Guilford, I followed my instinct and decided to take the risk of booking someone I had never met or heard for a keynote and breakout sessions. My instinct was dead on...Mr. Guilford is quite the gentleman - genuine, intellectual, fun loving, and professional. Quite the natural talent for drawing out his participants...a great speaker and listener! I wish he worked in my Upward Bound program!!
Response from James Guilford:
Janet, it was great working with you and the students from HCC. The highlight of my time with your students was the engaging questions-and-answer session after my keynote and powerpoint. I appreciated the trust your students displayed in discussing bullying and identity issues. I look forward to our followup conversation this March.
