“Fran is easy to work with, flexible, and well prepared.
He not only talks leadership and motivation, he walks the talk.”Russ Simon, Senior Policy Associate
New York Association of Training and Employment Professionals, Inc.
Every year since 1999, Fran Kick has helped KICK-off this unique collaborative event with 8th-10th grade students from across the Cincinnati Metropolitan Region. The program brings students on campus to experience a series of different hands-on sessions with college faculty. Areas such as Business Technologies, Innovative Technologies, Health and Public Safety, Humanities, Sciences, are represented. Fran sets the tone for the entire day and mixes the students with a developmentally appropriate networking activity. Messages include paying attention, responding appropriately to the opportunities available, as well as putting more into what you do and how you do it.
Chuck Hatcher, Admission RepresentativeHe's probably the best engager out there especially of high school kids I've ever seen. Fran engages a group. He gets them involved and they don't even know it. Motivators are a dime a dozen. He's an involver!

Student ParticipantIt was very proactive. Messages were about having me be in control of my own actions and not let people make decisions for me. You were engaged in it. You're not just sitting there. It was funny and got everyone laughing.

Kim Homer, Guidance CounselorEvery year I ask the kids is it worth our time and money to bring a group of kids down for this experience. And they always tell me YES! The year they tell me no, is the year I don't come. And so every year that I have brought them they've said it's worth while, and it's worth their time and energy, so they come. And it's really been good for them.
