Michigan Programs for Businesses, Groups, and Organizations

Bucketfillers For Life has presented to well over 20,000 adults.  The names of many of these businesses are on our Participating Businesses page.  Not individually listed there, however, are 51 Michigan hospitals and 110 Michigan municipalities that have also benefited from The Bucket Man’s earlier presentations.

Change can happen overnight. Professional skills are essential; personal skills also have a powerful effect in business. Are you Bucket Filler or a Bucket Dipper at work? Our thought-provoking, change-promoting workshop has been presented to over 20,000 adults.  Interactive discussion, 3 written exercises, laughter, and sometimes tears combine to create a powerful look at “self”.  Is your perception of yourself similar to the perception others have of you?  How do these perceptions affect your job performance and relationships with co-workers, family members, and friends?

“I’m writing on behalf of the membership of the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America (MPVA) to thank you and your daughter Stacey for your inspirational presentation at our August 23rd membership meeting where you showed that “every action has a consequence.” If you’re judging the success of the presentation by the reaction of the people attending, then you definitely “hit a home run.” Most people struggle to verbalize their emotions and appreciation for others. The program that you have developed is structured in a way that allows people to freely express their feelings without feeling threatened. Once again, thank you for a job well done!”

Michael F. Harris, Executive Director – Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America (MPVA)

Keynote Address

We will create a keynote address based upon the needs of your organization.  The powerful Bucketfilling concept is great for any large group, conference or retreat.

“Bucketfillers For Life presented the Keynote address for the 6th Annual Early Childhood Administrators Conference. It was the most moving presentation that we have participated in for years. Our emotions journeyed from tears to smiles for those we love – to words of kindness to those we serve. It was simply joyful! We are all better Early Childhood Administrators for having participated in this wonderful training.”

"Our bucketfilling assemblies and workshops have been some of the most impressionistic initiatives we have undertaken! Our students have learned how to articulate and share their feelings with others using positive communication, they know how they can make a difference in someone’s life every day with their words or actions, and they have openly shared what they’ve learned with their families and loved ones! We have received touching compliments and letters of thanks from parents about the “amazing conversations that occurred between their children following these assemblies”. Coupled with a positive school-wide behavior plan that we implemented last year, Bucketfilling has now become part of our school culture. We will continue to host workshops each year to maintain this positive energy in our school community."

"This is our 3rd consecutive year with the Bucketfillers For Life program. Follow-up is crucial to make sure the message is reinforced. There is great value in BFL’s Maintenance Program, and it enables my staff to carry the message forward in between visits much more effectively."

Village Elementary School, Hartland, MI
"One of the aspects I really appreciate about the Bucketfillers For Life program is the two-day format. Our entire staff and every single student got this positive message. It permeated everywhere! NowBucketfilling will continue much better than it would from one quick assembly."
