What Do People Say About 

Kate M^cCauley & KEY Concepts?

"I have found Kate to be one of the most dynamic and relevant speakers that I have encountered in my career.

What I think Kate does really well is that she creates a safe environment for kids to talk about the pressures and challenges that they experience around drugs and alcohol.  She cultivates a conversation and dialogue with them that is grounded in the realities of their peer life.  She then uses that information in talking to parents both based on her extensive training and what she's hearing from kids about what they need from the adults in their lives."

- Elinor Scully, Director of Upper School,  National Cathedral School, Washington, DC

"Thank you for all of your efforts on behalf of (our) School. The evening went so well last night and the feedback has been very positive. You were masterful at taking many of the ideas and concepts that we had discussed and weave them into your program.  You are very impressive and I am sure many parents left last night's event feeling it was truly time well spent. Thank you."

- Mary Speyer, parent organizer

"I just wanted to say thank you for your presentation.  Most people come and lecture us and tell us not to do things.  You talked about logical reasons and you understood about us.  This was really good for us to hear right now."

- 10^th grade Student Participant

 "I remembered what you said last year, and I think about what my parents have said, and I didn’t want to disappoint them.  I didn’t want to screw everything up."

- Second year student participant about choosing not to use alcohol or drugs
