Testimonials.

“Our recent professional development day on radical empathy was truly amazing. From the very beginning, Bryan’s captivating speaking had our staff focused and engaged in the subject matter.  The sessions were interactive, blending thoughtful discussions with practical strategies that can be applied in our classrooms.  What stood out most to me was the genuine participation of our staff.  Teachers participated in the activities, shared personal insights, and connected with one another. This training reminded us that empathy is not only essential for our students’ growth, but also for building stronger, more supportive relationships among colleagues. It was one of the most impactful professional development experiences we’ve had, and we left feeling inspired, connected, and ready to bring these lessons into our daily practice."

We were fortunate to have Bryan as a keynote speaker for all educators and leaders in ASDW the week before students returned for a new school year. His message of radical empathy provided a shared framework and understanding, giving us a common lens to lead, teach, and learn with empathy at the center. Bryan’s keynote was a powerful mix of humor, heart, and reflection, leaving educators feeling seen and with a renewed commitment to centering empathy in their work across classrooms, schools, and the district.

Bryan Saint-Louis' presentation on Radical Empathy was both engaging and heartfelt. Through personal storytelling and interactive participation he formed deep meaningful connections with our students. After the presentation Bryan went above and beyond by meeting with students individually, truly living out his message by listening and offering support with genuine care. Highly recommended!

Bryan offers a practical and engaging way for students to understand the difference between empathy and sympathy. His interactive presentation and sociable personality draw in even reluctant participants. His high school presentation is impactful, weaving personal experiences into his message. I recommend Bryan to schools and communities looking to promote empathy and demonstrate its positive impact on individuals' lives.

After working with Bryan at a Summer Camp in Canada in 2023, I had the idea to invite him to participate in an online class for Brazilian students as part of a comprehensive Counseling Program we offer to several private schools. It was fantastic! Bryan knows how to engage with a young audience and has a strong presence, whether on stage or on screen. He addresses delicate topics that need to be discussed with great skill and sensitivity. Keep doing the good work, blessed friend!

Bryan’s visits to my grade 6 classroom were something my students looked forward to each week. His presence and ability to connect with youth is incredible to witness. It was no wonder my students couldn’t stop asking when Mr. Saint-Louis would be back! As a teacher, I appreciated his message of empathy which was shared in an honest and engaging manner. 

Bryan possesses a unique ability to engage, interact, and inspire students. His motivational message and storytelling ability allows him to weave his past experiences into real world relevance and build positive relationships that transcends the classroom.

Bryan has an uncanny ability to meet youth where they are and push them. He is able to challenge them while speaking their language and tapping into their minds. He has  a potent capacity to inspire and motivate youth and young adults in a variety ways.

The palpable excitement among students as they eagerly await each presentation is a testament to Bryan’s exceptional impact. Students absorb valuable insights and leave each session inspired, motivated, and empowered with a positive action plan. Bryan’s remarkable ability to connect with and energize even the toughest of kids, makes him a cherished presence in our educational community.

Having Bryan speak on Leadership and Empathy was very effective. His insights, experiences and knowledge left the students motivated and ready to take action. Bryan truly knows how to engage a crowd and deliver a message that resonates.

"A colleague and I heard Bryan speak at our teachers’ convention and were so encouraged by what he had to say. He has lived experience to support his suggestions, and proof that they work. We were thrilled to have him come talk to our students as well, because we knew that many of them would be encouraged and convicted by what he had to say. All of our students had a great time in his presentations, which were modified and age appropriate for all of our grade levels - 1 through 12. It was wonderful to hear what they had to say about what they had heard. "

We had the pleasure of Bryan speaking to our Kindergarten to Grade 6 students this year during our Week of Prayer and it was awesome! He did an incredible job connecting to our young people through our video calls, had them engaged in his talks, and helped to inspire them to know themselves and God more.​

It was amazing to see how quickly he formed these relationships and how he connected with them in an online format. I have been blessed to witness Bryan work with young people in person and online and I would not hesitate to recommend him as a speaker to any age group in any format.”

Georges P Vanier School had Bryan come in and speak to both our grade nine and grade ten classes about radical empathy. From the beginning of the presentations, Bryan was successful in captivating his audience through his humour, calm demeanour, and use of small engaging activities to kick off the sessions. Throughout the presentation the students were engaged, thinking, and thoughtful in their responses to Bryan’s questions. They were able to see the connections between radical empathy and change as Bryan shared his personal experiences both in providing and receiving radical empathy. We’re hopeful that Bryan will come back to our school community to share more knowledge and experiences to promote positive change. Thank you Bryan!
