Lyndsay Robinson BPA National Post-Secondary President
Getting involved with the 2008 Leadership Academy made me gain a greater appreciation for life, and it motivated me to want to become an even greater leader. I recommend every student to experience this at least once. Fran Kick does an unbelievable job getting through to students. He makes students break out of their shells and teaches them how to Reach New Heights!
Katelyn Wooley Taconic High School, Massachusetts
If I were speaking to someone who was thinking about going to Nationals to be in the Academy, I would tell them to GO FOR IT! It's an experience that I will never forget.
Jessica Guerrero BPA Chapter President & Secondary National Historian
As an attendee at the 2009 Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference, I experienced the energy and wisdom of Fran Kick during his 2-day program KICK IT IN and TAKE THE LEAD. I must say I have never been more excited or enlightened by a speaker as I did in my eight hours with him. He has great insight and a likeability that is unreal. I recommend his presentation to everyone, age is no object. He is sure to grab your attention and captivate you.
Stephanie Rose Jones Weslaco High School, Texas
The Leadership Academy was a great opportunity for me to view leadership from not only a different perspective, but from a more fun and exciting one as well. It was an awesome experience with a lot of great insights into leadership. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make a difference in any way.
Sarah Marie Key Hutchinson High School, Kansas
The best thing about the Leadership Academy was that I really felt like I was doing something. Competing is fun but I definitely enjoyed interning more than anything. The workshops were really fun too. I learned a lot and got to meet tons of new people.
