Early Childhood Education Consultant
“I have known Mr. Kevin Kidd for over 20 years in various roles and capacities, and he has served as a coach, mentor, motivator, confidante, and friend in my family’s life. As a servant leader, he has always been my children’s role model and coach, encouraging them to be the best versions of themselves. He speaks life into them and their situations, which is a blessing because sometimes children need to also hear and see positive influences and words from individuals outside of the home. I have watched Mr. Kidd pour into the youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs in the southeast region, creating programming for youth inside of juvenile detention facilities, and advocating for children to have second chances. I have witnessed him speak before advisory boards, congregations, and general audiences with uplifting messages.
Seldom have I experienced such a dynamic speaker and presenter, whom I would recommend to others. However, it is a pleasure to do so in the case of Mr. Kevin Kidd. His messages are uplifting, powerful, and life-changing. He also lives the life he speaks about.”
CEO BGC Citrus County
I have worked along side Kevin Kidd for over a decade in the youth development space and his leadership and knowledge in the field is remarkable. Kevin’s progressive approach to leadership building and coaching is evident in the leaders he has produced and will provoke new ideas and approaches that are actionable for all. Kevin’s boisterous and charismatic speaking skills lend to him being relatable yet invokes trust that through his experiences, everyone can identify with his message. Kevin has a unique ability to connect with listeners and is laser focused on helping everyone develop into the leader they were designed to be.
Congratulations!
I love the title “Leadership Looks Like You.”
I distinctly remember you graciously taking an unsolicited phone call from me over 15 years ago when I was a young Club Director. I was incredibly excited and honored to have the opportunity to speak with someone who not only held the position of a CEO but also someone who looked like me, as a black CEO. It was truly inspiring to hear your story, and that became a seminal moment in my career.
Your unique gift and experiences have the power to make a significant impact on our world, and it is exciting to see your concerted effort to share it. Your leadership sets an example and serves as a force multiplier for good. Thank you for leading the way and investing in folks like me (and countless others).
