My students were across-the-board so impressed with and inspired by your presentation. The students in my classes were skeptical beforehand, but you won them all over. Not an easy task...I would know! In particular, they were pleased with your evenhanded stance on social media (they feel they're always told it is bad for them) and [...]
Thank you for an important and provocative program. My own daughter commented on how exceptionally well you "get" kids. While parts of your presentation concerned me because of the graphic nature of your talk, I found your presentation, especially your conclusion, especially uplifting and inspiring. I also loved the way you wove Jewish teachings throughout [...]
My son was so incredibly moved by you, your story, and your talk. I heard all about it in the car on the way home after swim practice. Your talk provoked such a beautiful and intimate discussion between us. I can't remember the details of our conversation but racing up the FDR in the dark [...]
Thank you so much for meeting with the students in our GSA. You connected with them, you saw their beautiful souls and you opened your heart to let them to see yours. So extraordinary!

I can't think about any moment of the day without smiling. It was an honor to be in the room with you. Watching you lead is an education in itself.

An enormous thank you on behalf of Bishops College School. Feedback has ranged from "Best guest speaker ever!" to "He really understands us," to "He breathes acceptance," to simply "He was super-awesome!" One of my students summed things up well, saying, "I think everyone of us was able to hear what we needed to hear [...]
Scott has the transformative ability to impact upon and change others' perceptions of themselves and of the society around them. Every talk he gave was different, and every time I found myself dealing with a lump in my throat and a sense of connection to the extraordinary person in front of me. From the conversations [...]
Scott Fried is a mind-blowingly powerful speaker who invites us to reassess the way we interact with each other. Indeed his profile on Twitter simply states, “I teach kindness” – we couldn’t muster a more accurate and succinct description than that.
It has been a year since the Lynbrook Human Relations Day program. I thought the feeling in the building following your visit was palpable. I wanted to let you know that when we attended this years’ program, the teachers were still talking about your program from last year. In fact, one teacher even cried when [...]
