TURN THE PAGE: THE MANNY SCOTT STORY.
Manny shares his story, and several eye-opening insights, of how, with hard work and the help of others, he went from being an “unreachable” and “unteachable” student to becoming a successful husband, father, Ph.D. student, entrepreneur, and public servant. This message inspires people to become change agents—“page-turners”—who help others write new, more fulfilling chapters in their lives.

“I’m a senior at this school, and I have NEVER seen anyone do that to this crowd. Ever!”

Manny shares, step-by-step, several proven practices and principles that engage, equip, and empower people everywhere to reach youth.

These are tools that others used to reach Manny, and tools that leaders can use right now to begin impacting the lives of others with incredible success.

– Superintendent, Oconto, WI
