Stephen R. Sroka, Ph.D.
The Power of One: The
New Rx for Education
and Life: Relationships.
A high energy, multimedia, motivational presentation that is researchdriven and reality-based
about how you can make a
difference and build safer
and healthier workplaces, homes and communities. It stresses the importance of relationships
and mental health. It addresses the challenges
of communication, collaboration, culture and

presentation changes your life professionally
and personally. You have the Power of One to
change the future. Let's start today!
Steve grew up in poverty in a housing project
in a single parent family. His third grade report
card read, "Parent notified boy is retarded". In
the ninth grade, after being involved in a school
fight, he had two hip operations and was told that
he may never walk again. He was in a wheel chair
for a year. The doctor told him he better start to
listen to his teachers. And, as he tells students
today, the more he listened, the smarter the
teachers became. Today, Dr. Stephen Sroka is
an Adjunct Assistant Professor, School of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, Case Western Reserve University
and President of Health Education Consultants.
He is an Internationally recognized award winning educator, author and speaker dealing with
education, health and safety. Dr. Steve delivers
cutting edge information and skills in an entertaining, motivating, and inspirational presentation that lets theory translate into practice. Dr.
Sroka's spirited programs bring to life the belief that you have the Power of One to change
schools, communities and lives. He has been
on Oprah and covered in USA TODAY. But his
most meaningful "awards" was his six-yearold daughter telling him that he was smarter
than the cartoon character, Inspector Gadget.
Note: The First and Second General Session will begin promptly at 11:15 a.m. with luncheon service followed
by keynote program speakers. Attendees are requested to be on time and to stay for the entire session to

Second General Session and Luncheon

Tucson Ballroom
Dr. Jeff Hester
Reality Straight Up:
When everything is
on the line, what
can we really know?
Ultimately success rests
not on our opinions
but on the answers to
questions about which
our
opinions
don’t
matter. Reality is sublimely indifferent to what
we would like to be true. This hard fact cuts
even deeper in chaotic times like ours. In the
corporate world everything from market trends to
technological innovations to the dynamics of
social media reshape the landscape from year
to year and sometimes from week to week. That
situation can be even more difficult in an arena
like public education where resource constraints
and performance expectations blow on political
winds. High stakes decisions can come at you
fast and they are seldom convenient. In this
lively presentation Dr. Hester cuts to the chase
by turning our everyday notion of “knowledge”
on its head. He shows what it takes to get past
comfortable assumptions, groupthink, snake oil,
complacency and wishful thinking to face reality
on its own terms.
Note: The First and Second General Session will begin promptly at 11:15 a.m. with luncheon service followed
by keynote program speakers. Attendees are requested to be on time and to stay for the entire session to
minimize disruption. This is a ticketed event. Vendor and guest tickets may be purchased for $40 each.
