Motivational Speakers

In summary, there are very few people I know who can keep a group of children entranced, and then turn around and present a complicated investigative report on the nightly news--Rick Kupchella is definitely one in a million. If you are seeking an effective and entrancing public speaker, you can't possibly find anyone better than him. - Lucy Dalglish

As both a public relations practitioner and a professor of journalism I have had the opportunity to host and work with many professional speakers and presenters over my more than 35-year career. Seldom have they been as insightful, informative and interesting as Rick Kupchella, who kept a normally hard-to-please group of non-traditional students engaged throughout his more than 60-minute presentation. Rick's speaking style, which involves his audience as well as informs them, was highly appreciated by my students -- one of whom said afterward: On a Friday night when we had every reason to be disinterested, tired, cranky and cynical, we found ourselves, instead, caught up in and excited about what we were hearing. Rick really gave us a clear look at the behind-the-scenes activity that leads to the news and brought it to life right there. While many who wear the mantle of a news anchor's celebrity may simply rest on their laurels when they are in a public forum, Rick uses that celebrity to set the stage for a terrific presentation. - Dan Jorgensen, Director of Public Relations , Adjunct Professor in Journalism, Augsburg College
