A keynote with Dr. Manny Scott
A keynote for the people who pour into everyone else. They will laugh, they may cry, and they will remember why they matter.
Why this message matters
Every day, educators encourage students, solve problems, adapt to change and carry burdens others may never see. They show up with courage for young people who need a steady voice and a reason to believe.
Sometimes the people who spend their lives pouring hope into others need someone to pour hope back into them. The Power of One does exactly that.
The keynote experience
The Power of One is an unforgettable invitation to remember the impact of a single caring adult. Through humor, honesty and stories that stay with people long after the room clears, Dr. Scott reminds educators what their presence can mean in the life of a young person.

Outcomes
Behind every behavior is a story. Educators leave looking for it.
One caring adult can change the trajectory of a life. They are that adult.
Their work is not in vain. They remember why they said yes to this calling.
Even on their worst day, they can still be a student’s best hope.
One person can change the trajectory of a life.
Dr. Scott is living proof
Why Dr. Scott
By sixteen he had lived in 26 places, his father was incarcerated, his best friend had been murdered, and he had dropped out of school. Then a few caring adults entered his life. He became one of the original Freedom Writers, graduated from UC Berkeley and earned a Ph.D.
For more than 25 years he has carried that story into schools in 49 states and on six continents, because he knows firsthand what one educator can do.
