“As a parent, teacher, and school administrator, I have to share that we were honored to have Dr. Culver share his expertise and his heart to my staff of 85 teachers at a K-8 School. This was the perfect kick off to a new year with remembering your why when all the noise gets so loud and it does. If you are thinking, should I have Dr. Culver add me to #TheKindnessTour? I am screaming YES! YES! YES! 6 Hours of PD and my staff wanted more! From my first contact with Chris to the hug when we said goodbye, he is the real deal and he is impacting everyone in his path. This will not be the last time I ask Chris to come and talk to our school.”

READ WHAT THEY ARE SAYING…
“McCord Public School staff participated in an outstanding professional development training presented by Orange Sparrow on working with today's generation of students. It provided valuable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities of engaging this generation, along with practical strategies that can be immediately applied in the classroom. The session was well-structured, engaging, and packed with relevant examples that resonated with our daily experiences as educators. What made it even more impactful was how Dr. Chris Culver reminded our teachers how awesome they are for being educators today! It was a much-needed boost of encouragement, leaving us all feeling more equipped, valued, and confident in our approach to connect with and support our students. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to better understand and reach today’s learners!"

I always leave your presentations, feeling rejuvenated, and that I have a purpose and the ability to make an impact on so many people's lives that I do not take enough advantage of. Keep making a difference and being a world changer! You have a very rare gift, and I hope that you never stop sharing that with people!"

Let’s Work Together
WHY ORANGE SPARROW?
It all began with an idea — a bold, risky, creative idea.
ORANGE
Orange is not only a favorite color, but also something that sparks intrinsic joy and happiness! It is suggested that individuals who love the color orange bring out the boldness in others, take risks, are optimistic, and exude positive energy.
SPARROW
Outside of the basic fact the sparrow asks us to find balance, harmony, and peace — we are also reminded of the integrity, empowerment, persistence, and wisdom within a sparrow.
ORANGE SPARROW
Together, we tell a message of “K.E.E.P. being you!” We keep kindness, empathy, enthusiasm, and purpose at the forefront in order to help, heal, serve, and lead. We aim to operate with high levels of integrity, to empower those around us, to be diligent and persistent in our endeavors , and to share wisdom through our experiences and stories.
“If you cannot find the light, be the light!”
