Most of us think we know our strengths and weaknesses even if we’ve never taken a formal aptitude test.  We might try to work on our weaknesses to improve a little, but few people would ever believe their greatest deficits could actually be their key to success.  Join Kevin Honeycutt as he explains how he turned his biggest weakness into his biggest strength.

One of our most critical jobs as educators is to create a safe environment for students, a space where they feel secure and immune from attack.  Even though they may resist rules and behavioral norms, deep inside that’s what they need the most.  Join Kevin as he shares how he learned the value of a safe, secure place the night he got kicked out of the motel room.

Survival is a powerful motivator  for everyone.  Unfortunately, children living in poverty sometimes learn inappropriate behaviors in their struggle to survive, and they bring those behaviors into the classroom.  Join Kevin Honeycutt as he explains how his dad put food on the table using “The Meat Deal” and what that tactic taught him about survival.

For many adults, memories of their early years are less than idyllic.  Kevin Honeycutt describes his childhood as a roller coaster of emotional reality.  Wetting the bed and the resulting shame and punishment he received every morning were contributing factors.  Join Kevin as he encourages teachers to set aside judgment and try to understand the struggles children bring with them to the classroom each day.

Fear is an unpleasant, but important emotion that protects people from dangerous situations.  However, if the fear is irrational or exaggerated, it can control our lives and limit our possibilities.  Join Kevin as he explains how he overcame his fear of the Fouke Monster and, in the process, found the braver person he had inside.

For people with elderly parents, assuming the role of caregiver and making decisions they never had to make before is a difficult transition in life.  Unfortunately, the children of alcoholics experience this role reversal at a much earlier age.  It is even harder for them because they don’t have the ability to curb the behavior of an out-of-control parent.  This creates a volatile situation that can have devastating consequences that leave the child racked with guilt.  It took many years, but Kevin finally learned how to stop blaming himself for something that was out of his control.  Join him as he shares how he learned to let go of the guilt and turn something bad into something good after the night his father died.

Imagine for a moment that you are back in high school.  How do you feel about that?  The answer depends, to a large degree, on how popular you were during that time.  As a part of this reverie, imagine that your life to this point has included frequent moves from town to town, and as a result, you’ve never been anywhere long enough to make many friends let alone be “popular” because you were always the new kid in class.  Your family finally settles down, and you start to find your niche; you get elected vice-president of student council.  If this isn’t popularity, it’s the closest thing you’ve ever experienced!                                Now imagine that your best friend, who many consider a social pariah, has been challenged to a fight with another classmate in front of the entire school, and during the battle, another student joins the fray, and your friend is now outnumbered 2 to 1.  Do you risk your new-found popularity by defending your friend.  Join Kevin as he explains how this very challenge taught him to stand up for what he believed in and do the right thing.

Achieving your dreams takes hard work and dedication.  Without a burning passion to succeed, it is easy to lose the necessary focus and commitment to go the distance.  Growing up in poverty, Kevin learned that life lesson in many different ways.  Join him as he shares how a glowing heater became a source of inspiration for his future success.

Good parents put limits on their children’s behavior because self-control has to be learned.  Some of the things they place limits on are candy, snacks, bedtime, and video games.  As the child matures and learns self-control, those limits become self-imposed, and the parent doesn’t have to be the arbiter of good choices.  Unfortunately, some children learn those lessons better than others.  Join Kevin as he tells the story of the disastrous consequences that happened when his dad and his Uncle Ronnie got all they wanted.

Every encounter, every experience in life is a learning opportunity.  Even a bad teacher can impart a valuable lesson, which is sometimes what NOT to do.  That is exactly what Kevin learned many times by watching his father.  Join Kevin as he describes the day his dad used a blunderbuss to collect some money owed to him.
