About Stacey Bess
Stacey Bess is an inspirational educator and author who speaks on the importance of service, mentorship, and leadership, as well as overcoming adversity. Drawing on her fascinating and inspirational personal story—teaching homeless children in a small shed known as “The School with No Name”—she offers powerful insights and lessons that audiences yearning to make a difference can apply to their community or organization.
About Coach Ken Carter
Ken “Coach” Carter is the real-life inspiration for the 2005 hit movie “Coach Carter.” The movie tells the story of his decision to lock his undefeated state playoff team out of the gym and force them to hit the books, sending a message to stop counting on athletic potential as the only ticket out of a tough life. Coach has since continued sharing this message of teamwork, accountability, integrity, and leadership with thousands of people.
Appearances arranged through Gotham Artists.
