The motivation won’t disappear when Russ does. He’s got a follow up-session especially for your campus leaders that can keep the message going all year long! When Russ comes to your school, he’ll include a special workshop to equip your leaders with skills they need to reach unconnected students and build positive relationships that will make your campus the place of acceptance and belonging it deserves to be.
“I invite Russ back to my school every spring for our year-end celebration and activity day for all of our seventh graders. They LOVE Russ, my fellow teachers and staff members love Russ, and even though I have seen his presentation year after year, I still continue to be amazed. Russ has an enthusiasm and passion that is contagious. You can’t help but be energized after his performance. We are making plans now for this year’s end-of-year activity day, and Russ’ performance will once again be the main event.”

Working with Russ is simple! He exhibits professionalism by following up on emails in a timely manner, arrives early to view speaker set up etc., and keeps his presentation clean and appropriate for teenagers! His show is entertaining to both participants and audience. He relates well to his audience while making his participants feel comfortable as an active art of the show. I would recommend Russ for any event you are planning from grad nights to working with professional staff. The joy of his show is the bonding provided through the entertainment!

We’ve had the pleasure of having Russ visit Bret Harte High School on many occasions, and he has never once failed to amaze, entertain, and inspire our students, staff, and community. What I like best about working with Russ is the personal attention he gives to each presentation. Whether he’s here to entertain with his hypnotism show or working to inspire leaders and learners with the “Power of the Mind”, Russ creates an unforgettable event that keeps the students talking long after he has left!

I have had the pleasure of working with Russ Peak for over 11 years and he is more than a speaker, a magician, an entertainer, he has become a dependable friend who is able to help out no matter what your budget, audience and/or time. Every time I have worked with him, he has been positive and upbeat and can hold large audiences attention for up to four hours!!! Students continue to ask him back time and time again but what I appreciate most about Russ is that more than creating a show, he can always connect his theme back to what you or your school needs him to address. I look forward to working with him for another 11 years!
Larry Lopez / Del Mar High School
“The students loved his presentation. Russ has the ability to relate to high school students and they really listen to what he has to say. The students did not want his performance to end. Whether Russ is strictly entertaining a group or providing a message, he is a dynamic presenter. I would highly recommend Russ for any school.”
Lisa Dieker / Director of Activities, Thomas Downey High School
“The students were left in wonderment and laughter as Russ mixed innovative ‘magic’ with well-played humor. More importantly, he did a fantastic job of blending his performance with a great message. Students were reminded that they are in control of what their future might hold.”
Stan Clark / Director of Activities, Sultana High School
“Our whole campus had the chance to hear and see your magic with a message! It was a great blend of fun, fascination and motivation.The kids were really engaged. They will certainly remember you for life! My ASB students appreciated the extra time you spent with them during ASB class too. Our staff enjoyed the assembly and thought your acronym MIND was appropriate for middle school kids. Thanks again for coming to our school. It was a great experience for all of us!”
Denise Van Dorn / ASB Advisor, Del Dios Middle School
“Russ not only delivers one heck of a speech, but he does it with the students and audience in mind. I don’t write letters for many keynote speakers but I do this one without reservation. Russ is in a class by himself. His product is pure and his integrity is strong”
Paul Chylinski / Past President, California Association of Directors of Activities
“I have been impressed with how our students as well as the students from our Leadership Conference still talk about your presentation. Not only were they amazed at the ‘tricks of the mind’ you performed, but they were honestly moved by your personal stories and challenges to them to be the best that they can be. In fourteen years of doing activities, I can tell you that I have never had an assembly that has had such a lasting, positive impact on our student body.”
