“I was super excited to have some conversations with Chris regarding his message of TAG when I heard about this message. I’m very hopeful after hearing his message today that this is something we can continue to utilize throughout our school (finding the positives and really trying to have that positive influence on the world around us), and so I’m really excited to see what this is going to bring to our school here at Caledonia.”

“I am truly inspired by Chris DT Gordon. I attended a conference very recently, and he was the closing speaker. I wish my family, friends, and coworkers could watch his magic in action. I purchased his book and was able to tell him how I absolutely loved his talk and could not wait to read his book. I think absolutely anyone could not only feel better but make a difference using his positive gratitude concepts and spreading it to others.”

“Positive, poignant, and well done! I'm feeling like I have steps I can do. It's a good reminder of who I want to be!”

“Chris is an amazing person and an excellent role model; his story of survival and how he lives his life now are truly inspirational! He has lived through an extremely difficult experience that many people do not survive. He not only survived this life-changing experience, but grew from it, and now uses his personal experience to teach and inspire others to embrace challenges.”

“Chris’ story is an incredible lesson in perseverance, and his message to turn that situation into gratitude helps keep a positive attitude in any adversity.”

“I’ve worked in mental health for 25 years, and Chris’ message is right on the money. He shares the basic secrets of staying positive and overcoming adversity.”

“I think Chris’s message is a great way to spread positivity through a school. The TAG concept is simple and easy for students to understand. I also really like that he shares a Google doc that allows the students to journal.”

“Chris is very good at making exciting and interesting presentations. I hope that he changed some people’s lives in our school.”

“Chris did an excellent job connecting the importance of being grateful and having a positive attitude to everyday life. His story of overcoming challenges and having resilience resonated with our school community. Chris’ engaging presentation and his message of The Attitude of Gratitude (TAG) made a positive impact on our students."

"Chris easily connected with our students, and his gratitude acronyms and practices are easy for them to remember to implement."
