Here's
what others in the human services
field have to say about Tim
Piccirillo:
“I
kept looking around the room
at the audience reactions, in
between laughing my head off
with your jokes and word plays,
and it was simply awesome. The
blind PEER behind me probably
laughed as hard as anyone else
confirming that your message
translates to all persons who
are willing to hear. One of
the residents up front is so
physically challenged; yet during
your speech, his face glowed
with joy as he was transformed
to focus on his abilities—not
his disabilities.”” |

Sisak, State Long Term
Care Ombudsman

|
| "We
received very positive feedback
from our evaluations and I heard
parents talking about it throughout
the day. As a small non-profit
I especially appreciated the cost-effectiveness
of your visit and felt you were
able to offer wonderful value.”

Mark
Rudolph, Executive Director
Family Support Services
St. Charles, MO |
|
|
| "Your
keynote presentation was a resounding
success! You struck a chord with
this group and your message is
something that they are able to
take home and use in their daily
lives. Your humor, excitement
and passion for youth all came
through in your time with us.” |

Stephen
Edison, Independent Living
Project University of
Pittsburgh
Bradford, PA |
|
| “Although
my conference coordinating
duties kept me from seeing
your stress busting presentation,
I don’t know how that could
possibly compete with your
closing keynote address.
You had our 300 plus attendees
completely absorbed in your
presentation. And this was
after everybody had been
sitting in workshops for
two days! I could not have
asked for a more fitting
way to end the conference.
One veteran of conferences
said it best, ‘Absolutely
the best closing keynote
speaker I’ve heard in 13
years attending similar
conferences.’ I would have
to concur. |

| “Our
attendees were absolutely
enthusiastic in their response
to your presentation. You
kept your promise that you
would keep them entertained!
They really loved both your
presentations.” |

| “Your
closing session was just
perfect for ending our conference.
Your use of magic, humor,
storytelling, and personal
example truly inspired the
conference participants
to never give up on any
child and to realize that
every child has potential.
Again, thank you for your
participation in our event.
The conference was a great
success, with the inspiration
and fun of your closing
session contributing to
the successful day.” |

Tim
Piccirillo has spoken to human services agencies
and conferences ranging from Aging, Mental Health/Mental
Retardation to Child Abuse and Drug and Alcohol.
He proves through magic, humor and personal example
that EVERYONE is capable of doing more, having more,
and, most importantly, BEING more in their lives.
Tim believes that if someone is still living and
breathing, they still have a purpose and their work
isn't done yet -- despite any disabilities or challenges
they may be facing. |
Tim
knows firsthand the challenges faced by human
service professionals. With a B.S. in Habilitative
Science, he worked in progressively responsible
positions before becoming the Executive Director
of a Center for Independent Living, an organization
dedicated to serving individuals with physical
disabilities.
