Michael Karpovich, CSP For More Information Call: 877-234-6086
Why is there so much violence in schools today? Why are so many kids “at risk?” How can a community or a school address the issues of substance abuse or other destructive decisions made by the student body? How can we teach leadership skills and positive self-esteem to the entire student body? And what about the “good kids”… are they being overlooked because troubled students receive all of the attention? With all of these issues it is no wonder that teachers, counselors, administrators and other educational professionals are stressed and at high risk for dangerous burnout! Is there a solution to all of these needs of the school and community? Yes! The answer to your needs is the expert, comprehensive programming skills of professional speaker Michael Karpovich. Michael has authored and delivered programs for educational professionals, parents, “at risk kids,” student leaders, entire student bodies, and youth leadership conventions and conferences for over a quarter of a century! Let’s find out a little bit more about this very unique man: Michael Scott Karpovich, CSP, was raised on a farm in mid-Michigan. His father was a physicist and his mother a bacteriologist....Michael says he doesn't know whether he was born or mixed! Diagnosed with brain damage at age four, beaten up and called a “nerd” by bullies, and severely dyslexic... this unlikely hero has discovered that our greatest adversities are really what make us strong! As he puts it... “Yuk makes you stronger!” In spite of or perhaps because of his awkward start, Michael has worked successfully as a farmer, a popular radio disc jockey, a high school drama coach, a counselor, a college instructor, and an author! Now a successful Certified Speaking Professional, Michael has presented for over a quarter century around the globe, and last year alone, spoke to over 300,000 people at high schools, middle schools, youth and educator associations, and companies! Incorporating his personal stories with humor and priceless information, Michael is asked back again and again to speak on leadership, substance abuse prevention, avoiding burnout, and violence prevention. (Not bad for a brain-damaged nerd!) Described as “half Robin Williams and half Mr. Rogers,” Michael’s high energy, sensitive and compassionate nature coupled with his humorous and practical message keeps teachers, parents and kids on the edge of their seats! ¨ Delivers Humor & Inspiration with a practical message! ¨ Is your convention’s Insurance Policy! ¨ Co-author of five books: Teen Empower, Lead Now, Teen Power & Beyond, Go Make a Difference & The Better Bottom Line ¨ Has appeared on CBS’s 60 Minutes & The Today Show! ¨ The speaker they can’t stop talking about!

Michael's Most Requested Programs:
BECOMING THE BEST GENERATION™ Students learn
“resiliency skills” ideal for substance abuse prevention,
anti-bullying, violence prevention, self-esteem, and even school
spirit programming. Becoming the Best Generation introduces
youth to the importance of goal-setting and a positive
self-image. Participants learn how their perspective of self
creates their future. This program is particularly suited to
middle school, high school and college-age students. Becoming
the BEST is not an unreachable goal; unfortunately, children who
receive negative input again and again will never consider it an
option. This program motivates young people to recognize their
potential and set higher goals. Students leave realizing they
are capable of making a difference and determined that they will
become world-changing leaders! Testimonials:
“Michael possesses a unique style and wonderfully blends his
themes and humor so that all can relate. He is one of the very
few people who has the ability to capture the undivided
attention of students, faculty members and parents and not only
makes them listen but really hear him. AND BOY, DOES HE WORK FOR
YOU! I had him hopping from the crack of dawn to beyond sundown
and he never let us down! His energy and enthusiasm was
continuous. We really got our money’s worth! If you work with
Michael, he will meet every expectation you may have and is more
than willing to tailor his program to meet the needs of your
district. You will not be disappointed!” -Paula
