guy doud is a delightful speaker, and this recording has so many wonderful life lessons for people of all ages. doud reveals his own past to us, and the inspiration that led him to teach and touch the lives of others, which led doud to become the recipient of the "teacher of the year" award. he reveals to us that it can only take one word to either make or break a child. doud's speaking ability is amazing, his message inspiring. he captures the attention of his audience, creating a desire within the heart to be a better, kinder person. i recommend this to anyone who would teach... and don't all of us teach in some capacity?
