With speakers such as internationally known Flip Flippen, our presenters are powerful catalysts in changing the thoughts and feelings of students, teachers, and administrators. Addressing issues that range from organizational leadership to drug abuse, our speakers bring out the best in every audience.

Flip is an internationally renowned speaker and psychotherapist. He was the founder of Still Creek Ranch, a residential treatment center for young people that flourishes today.
He founded The Flippen Group in 1990. Today, it is the largest educator training company and one of the fastest-growing leadership development organizations in North America.

His Flippen Leadership Series, a dynamic training that helps leaders establish goals, uncover constraints, and develop action plans that improve performance and profit, has transformed organizations around the world.
Flip developed The Flippen Profile, an unparalleled psychometric assessment tool that accurately identifies individual strengths and weaknesses. Using this powerful tool, Flip conceived the theory of Overcoming Personal Constraints (OPC), which teaches people how to break the constraints that limit performance and hinder growth. His book, The Flip Side – Break Free of the Behaviors That Hold You Back, released May 2007, is a New York Times and USA Today Best Seller.
The success of his efforts has been documented on The Today Show, The Super Bowl Pre-Game Show, Speed Channel’s NBS 24/7, and in countless publications for more than twenty years.
An energetic and successful entrepreneur, Flip has founded numerous businesses and counseling services and serves as chairman of the board of K2Share, a web-based learning company in partnership with Trinity Industries.
Flip earned a Masters degree from Texas A & M University.

Stanley Leone Jr.
Stanley attended Saint Xavier University in Chicago on football and academic scholarships. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and a minor in Religious Studies. He was recognized as an All-American Scholar by the university president, and was a multiple-year recipient of the National Dean’s List.
Stanley was a member of Sigma Tau Delta, the national English Honors Society, as well as a Student Ambassador, and a four-year Presidential Scholarship recipient for outstanding academic performance. This performance secured positions
as Sports Editor of the Xavierite paper, nomination as a |
member of the Presidential Evaluation Board, and a member of the New Campus Housing Board.
Monda Simmons, his Teen Leadership teacher at South Houston High School, captured Stanley’s heart when he was seventeen years old. She became the first appropriate adult in his life, as well as a vital element in his college education. Stanley’s goal is to help teachers make a difference in kids’ lives, as Monda has made in his. Monda now serves as Leadership Consultant for The Flippen Group.
At the age of twenty-three, Stanley became a Leadership Consultant with The Flippen Group, as well. He has keynoted alongside Flip Flippen and Monty Roberts at some of the largest educational conferences in the nation, including the American Association of School Administrators, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, as well as conferences in Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, and others.
Bringing the tragedy and triumph of his life to thousands of people, Stanley describes his childhood in terms such as: insecure, confused, scared, sexually and physically abused, gang-related, arrested and sentenced, addicted to drugs, and homeless. He shares about the relationships in his life that changed him, and he believes there must be a relationship for there to be accountability and performance. Stressing that he’s “not an expert . . . he’s a product,” Stanley reminds teachers that they do count, they do make a difference, and although “you won’t win the world, you can change it – one student at a time.”
With his wife, Rachel, he resides in Bryan, Texas. He is currently in pursuit of his MBA degree from the University of South Australia. Stanley truly has a passion for life and lives to make a difference. He believes that for kids to succeed, you must build a safe environment for them by creating trust and modeling appropriate behavior. He also believes that teachers make the difference between failure and success for the kids they touch.
