Testimonials

I purchased Ms. Lewis’s book for my entire teacher education department.  We used it as a common read for our professional development in order to broaden our understanding of parents and their children.  We shared our own stories about students we taught (our apples) and how we interacted with their parents (our trees).  Our authentic stories paired with Ms. Lewis’s candor and humor gave us a foundation for case studies and activities for our teacher education students. We found the book to be enlightening, engaging, entertaining, but most of all educative.

Bea Lewis is a riveting, cutting edge motivational speaker! Bea has the uncanny ability to captivate diverse audiences (teachers, assistant principals, principals, as well as district leaders). Bea Lewis is straight forward--her examples are practical and based on experiences that are relevant and applicable to the field.

I first had the opportunity to hear Ms. Lewis speak at a presentation at a school that my child attended. After hearing her speak, I knew that we had to get her to speak to the parents at our afterschool program at one of our quarterly family nights. Ms. Lewis spoke to a packed crowd of about 50 parents. After the parent night and in the next several days, parents continued to come up to me to thank us for bringing Ms. Lewis’ presentation to our program. She truly made an impact on our families and I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
