Create a Positive Culture in Your School
Learn how to build emotional resiliency within your students decreasing disciplinary problems and social issues while providing a positive work environment for your staff.
The pressure educators face is greater than ever before
There is a plethora of mental health issues and emotional baggage students walk into the building with every day that you have no control over. But you can help by creating a positive atmosphere in the classroom and instill the message in students that they are valuable.
FOSTER A POSITIVE CULTURE
First, experience a world-rocking, inspiring assembly that will be talked about for days, weeks, maybe even months to come. Then a student leadership training that will turn a group of students into a positive force within the school.
EQUIP YOUR STAFF
Through a staff training, your teachers will learn classroom strategies that create a positive classroom atmosphere, break down walls, and enlist the help of social influencers in the school.
INCREASE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
When social issues and disciplinary problems decrease, academics can thrive. Learn from great past educators: touch their hearts and you’ll have their heads.
Your school is special & unique
Whatever the biggest issues are in your school is what we hit on in our presentations. We take the time to find out what that is from you before coming to your school. Then bring in an outside voice that can effectively inspire students and staff in the very ways you want to strengthen your school. Gain respect of students and staff by bringing in Value Up to address issues important to you and your school.
We have helped thousands of students become over-comers and emotional resilient in these areas:
- Anxiety
- Bullying
- Anger and Violence
- Suicide/ Self-harm
- Substance Abuse
- Underachieving Academically
- Abuse At Home
- Inundation of Negative Media
- Social Media Issues
- Disconnection/Loneliness
SOLUTION ONE
Full Day Event
Our Most Impactful Solution!
Our speakers have 20 years of experience and are very effective in affecting entire school cultures for whole school years. We start off speaking to the entire school, each speaker sharing their own story, and inspiring students and staff to value themselves and others. Second, we do a student leadership training that can either start a new Value Up Club or empower an existing club or group of students to become a force for positive change in the school. They are given emotional resiliency curriculum and come up with projects that affect the campus in a positive way. Third, a professional development/staff training takes place usually before or after school that is optional for staff. It gives our insight on how to reach the hearts of kids. Educators always appreciate this session. To end the day, we offer a community event so parents and families can hear the powerful story of our speaker and the messages so it can effect the home life of your students as well. Our speakers are highly sought after appearing on such shows as Oprah, the Today Show, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, and many others. Help create a positive culture in your school by bringing everyone together on a message and story that will affect not just the day…but the whole school year!
In 35 years, I’ve never seen anything like it.

Check Out Our New Book!
This book is for anyone out there who needs to learn of their incredible, inherent value – who don’t see their intrinsic worth. Psychologically and spiritually how we view ourselves affects all aspects of one’s life. It is essential to being a healthy, whole person.
To the person who has never felt like they quite measured up. To the one who looks around and compares themself to a standard that isn’t real. To the one who is judged on things that are totally out of their control. To the one that takes their pain out on themself in a self-sabotaging way, because deep within, they believe they don’t deserve good things. To the one choosing all the wrong influences, because it matches their perceived identity…this book is for you.
Be awakened to the belief and identity that no matter what others say, what your past is, who your family is, what you look like, or even your bad decisions – no matter the case…You are extremely valuable.
About Us
Over the last 20 years, Craig and Mike have spoken live to millions of students in schools. They have been keynotes for the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), the National Education Association (NEA), the National PTA Conference, and Craig was appointed by President Bush to the National Council on School Safety. Featured on Oprah on 4 separate occasions, the Today Show, Good Morning America, and many others, they combined have done over a few hundred news media interviews. Craig and Mike have become go-to experts concerning school culture and teen issues.
After partnering with thousands of schools and speaking/listening to educators and students, Mike and Craig have come to understand so many teen issues are directly related to how students view themselves. If a student believes they have high intrinsic value and identify with this high value, they choose things that match that identity. Students who value and respect themselves make positive life choices and show greater value and respect to others. Value Up was created to raise the value of human life on campuses and strengthen positive school culture.
