Steve captured every key element I requested for the team training with fun and purpose. His high energy coupled with his music and humor made this workshop the most successful one in my eight years as CEO.

I prefer that meetings be brief, be bright and then I'm gone, but this one was the exception. It was the best All Staff meeting ever!
Jim R., Child Guidance Center (Jacksonville, Florida)

Steve has a way of bringing music, personality, humor, and FUN into his presentations. If you are not singing, you are laughing, or talking to someone you have never seen before. I have brought many new activities into my own classroom.  The students love it. I hope to attend another workshop soon!

Steve jump started our annual Strategic Planning session with music and humor. It set the tone for an upbeat and productive day that resulted in some of our Board's best strategic work being accomplished. Thank you Steve!

I wanted to take time to thank you for giving such a wonderful motivational program ... I have been taking in a lot of what you presented when dealing with my students and grads. I am especially more vigilant about realizing that the students are coming here with a lot of other external things going on…I truly enjoyed your presentation. I have been telling everyone about it.

Your presentation was just the motivation participants needed to get them in an energized mood, ready for participation. You helped to set the tone for what turned out to be a fabulous day! 
Dr. Pat Windham, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Evaluation, Florida Department of Education (Division of Community Colleges and Workforce Education)

You would really be a positive addition to our faculty fall conference.
Bruce Kelly, Professor of Psychology, Lindenwood University (St. Louis)

The best session I have ever attended at a conference.

The songs were great and the motivation I needed to make it through this last week of finals.

What a great way to begin a day/any workshop/a seminar!
Professor Becky Marez, Del Mar Community College

This [The Choices You Make workshop] has been a great "re-focusing" experience and fun seminar. I was pleased to be in attendance.
Darcy D., College Student

Great morning -- inspirational ideas -- I feel renewed.
Professor Becky Pudge, Polk Community College

Fantastic! Excellent use of humor. He did not disappoint! Would love to take one of his classes!

Fantastic and entertaining. It was very interesting to learn about the students perspectives as well as very valuable to hear other instructor's ideas.

Steve organizes an engaging workshop that provides faculty with concrete steps they may take to build a positive network of support within the University bureaucracy. Even a year since the workshop, several faculty will call me and say " you are a coffee cup person and I need to get together for a chat.
Dr. Kaye Bragg, Director of the Faculty Teaching and Learning Center,
California State University-Bakersfield


Thank you so much!  I plan on sharing all of these ideas with the adjunct faculty.
Lori M. Butler, Developmental English Liaison


Honestly, this seminar [TEAM] was the best I ever attended. It held my attention and was very informative and useful. We all have been to painful seminars, but this was far from that. Thanks for making it entertaining.
Kerri McAlister, Director of Student Activities, Spartanburg Technical College, Spartanburg, South Carolina


I think this type of presentation is what should be done with part time and full time faculty to kick off each semester.

I thoroughly enjoyed this…humor to address serious concerns in teaching. I want the words to “End of the Semester Blues”!

Through our brief conversations regarding potential topics as well as the anticipated outcomes, you were able to precisely determine what was needed and, as a result, create an atmosphere that encouraged stimulating interaction and dialog among the participants. Your enthusiasm spread to the audience, inviting open and honest communication. Because of the excellent information and group interaction, we are moving to the next level in “enhancing success as a way to create a new work culture. In other words, the event was a huge success because of your leadership and expertise!
Dr. Delphia Williams, Director, Community Services Department, City of Jacksonville ( Florida )


Any school looking to enhance their climate through increased teacher collaboration should definitely take advantage of this opportunity. With Mr. Piscitelli's skilled facilitation, staff volunteers began doing a necessary self-assessment identifying not only the factors that were blocking our growth as a learning community, but also re-affirming the positive by capitalizing on our strengths. Because the process is a "grass roots" activity, there was an increased level of buy-in from not only the TEAM members but from the faculty at large. I applaud the TEAM project for bringing our faculty to a better understanding of the need for change while simultaneously deepening our awareness and heightening our appreciation for the difficult yet rewarding work that we do.
Jill Budd , School Principal


Your passion is contagious!
Lindy Bailey, Assistant Registrar, Spartanburg Technical College, Spartanburg, South Carolina


Steve was excellent and really connected with the audience. His presentation was clear and focused.

Steve Piscitelli has provided the Beaches schools with a forum that has taken the very core elements of education and placed them in a teacher-driven focus group.  The TEAM professional development group (The Piscitelli Group) gives schools, in a community, the advantage of looking at their students not just within their school, but at the whole educational development of the students.  Schools are then able to focus on learning gaps, and share and develop best practices.  This group has given us the ground work needed to help make our students successful.
Julie Ryan-Helms, Teacher


This is the most constructive workshop I have participated in for many years. Participant evaluation from Who am I and what am I doing in this place?

 This is the third year of our association with Steve Piscitelli and our committee is still as energetic as if it were the first.  Our original two goals of improving communication and closing instructional gaps still drive our efforts.  I am confident that the success of this committee, and its work with our faculty, has been due in large part to the involvement of Steve himself.  Acting as the facilitator, Steve always has a planned agenda that is right on target with our needs.  He treats our staff with professionalism and includes regular follow-up meetings to gauge progress.  Thanks to the "Building Bridges" professional development opportunity, I feel 100% confident that communickation within our secondary feeder pattern is more open then ever before.
Karen Davis, School Principal


Thank you! You motivated me to try some new activities to engage students.

Steve has done a great deal to help us see the "whole picture."  We often departmentalize ourselves to the point where we don't see how the student needs to move from elementary to middle to high school.  If our students are to become competitive in the world, we need to help them achieve the best they can.  This program has helped us to establish a relationship between the schools on the beach creating a consistent learning environment for our students.
