Ron was a great entertainer during our 10 year reunion, he kept the audience engaged and truly made participants reexamine the way they perform their day to day activities. It was not only a pleasure to work with him on my class reunion but also a pleasure to get to know Ron as a person. Book him for your next event, you will not regret it!
Response from Education By Entertainment:
Thank you so much Elsie!!! It was a pleasure leading the Mind Games program at your class reunion as well as working with you personally on preparation, setup and during the event itself. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you on future events.
By employing a “game show” motif to deliver informative insights into how people interpret and process information, Ron successfully engages audiences, holds their interest and gets them to actively participate. Audiences have fun and learn useful and highly applicable information without realizing it. If you are looking to slot someone into your conference who will perk up you attendees, look no further.
Response from Education By Entertainment:
Thanks so much, Joe!!!
Dr. Ron Shapiro came to my daughter's 10 th birthday party to help us celebrate and he wowed the kids and the parents with his Education by Entertainment program! We all had a blast participating in his interactive and educational activities. I look forward to another event with him.
Response from Education By Entertainment:
Thank you, Teresa!!! It was fun working with you, Hannah and friends. I look forward to working with you again, too!!!
If you are looking for a unique and fun educational speaker, Dr. Ron Shapiro is your go-to guy. We've had the pleasure of seeing several of Ron's events and walked away laughing and more knowledgeable for it! His engagement with the audience - and the children in attendance - was exceptional . . . and the activities he used in his program were intriguing. We look forward to attending another event of Ron's soon!
