“The bucket filling concept is a valuable tool for our drivers when dealing with students and parents alike!  I can’t begin to tell you the number of times per week that I witness “tactics for life” that you shared in your 2-hour workshop with my drivers.  Thank you for presenting and we were glad to be able to recommend you to the entire county wide school system this past fall.  Keep up the great work!”

Mike Peterson
Director of Operations
Howell, MI Public Schools

“Since our Bucketfilling workshop our drivers are really aware of what they are saying to each other.  We had a fight on a bus this morning and two drivers radioed the driver of that bus and told her what a good job she did.  We will keep referring back to bucketfilling every day.  It has made a difference in my life.  I have had several drivers come and tell me how great the meeting was.  One of the drivers told his wife that it was the best in-service we have ever had. I can’t thank you enough.”

“This was the best in-service program we have ever had. It was so meaningful.  I will have Bucketfillers For Life return next year to follow up on the program content with my staff.”

“The feedback I have received said it was a refreshing change in our in-service programs. they liked how the program involved the development of their total life, not just their working life. They also liked the 50 ideas to become  Bucketfilling Bus Driver.”

“Thank you for working with us to bring the Bucketfillers program to our district!  It was inspiring and thought provoking and the students really get the concept. It touched the hearts of many teachers and the parents that came to the parent program.  I have only heard good things about the program going through all of the schools."

“You showed me things that I didn’t see before. Three things that I will do to keep this going are write a letter to everyone in my family, try to be nicer and not yell as much. Thank you for helping me understand things I never understood before.”

"That was the best assembly I’ve ever seen at our school. Everything was perfect—the length, the humor, how it kept the students’ attention and got the positive message to them so effectively, the humor. All of it was great! We are very pleased."
