Eric Chester

Eric Chester's high-energy speeches are designed to give teachers the motivation, knowledge and techniques for overcoming the chall enges they face - substance abuse, low self-esteem, lack of respect for differences, apathy and lack of direction.

These presentations show the "Why" Generation how to escape the "follow-the-crowd/peer pressure" syndrome by persuasively causing each student to examine the choices, gain respect for others, and become an individual and a leader. Eric never preaches, nor does he use guilt, making people feel as though their previous mistakes might haunt them forever. Instead, he quickly wins audiences with a humorous and entertaining style.

Eric has already lived an eventful life. His college degrees are in Marketing and Education, and he has a Master's Degree in Counseling. He founded a sports promotion company and was asked to serve as the Master of Ceremonies at the annual Mr./Mrs. America Competition. He has also been a color analyst for several of ESPN's and PSN's nationally televised sporting events. He is now recognized as one of America's best motivational speakers. His programs are enjoyed by over 100,000 aspiring students and teachers annually.

Eric Chester is not a super hero or an award-winning athlete, singer, dancer or magician. He is just a "regular guy". But his ability to pierce the walls of rebellion and get inside the souls of today's teens is anything but regular. In fact, it's been described as miraculous!

Eric is a former teacher and a coach. He has spoken on the campuses of more than 1,500 different schools across North America of every conceivable size, kind, and make-up. He not only knows how to teach this generation - he knows what it takes to reach this generation!
