Dan Buettner: Testimonials / Client List

“With your entertaining delivery, there was a palpable feeling of joy in the auditorium.”
- Greg McGruder, National Geographic Society

“In 18 years, I have seen only a handful of speakers receive such a spontaneous and heartfelt standing ovation.”
- Curtis Hoehne, Nature’s Sunshine

“A homerun with Dan!”
- Richard McLeod, Cisco Sytems

"We’ve found that Dan’s dedication to high quality interactive learning is the best that’s available on the Internet. He really goes that extra mile to highly motivational learning opportunities to kids. Dan’s inquiry oriented activities are an outstanding way for students to apply critical thinking skills. But Dan goes a step further. He knows how to “hook” students with an intriguing question or problem and then guide them through interdisciplinary investigations that result in students taking action at the local, national, and even international level."
- Cherie Neima, Global Studies Instructor, Cyber Village Academy, Saint Paul, MN

"Dan Buettner’s idea of empowering students to “sit in a driver’s seat” while being in charge of their own learning not only helps motivate them to learn more, it also encourages them to extend their learning both inside the classroom and in their lives. There are numerous benefits to engaging in an expedition. I like how ALL students can succeed, it motivates the higher level learners to explore deeper into the subject matter, while at the same time students with disabilities or special needs feel like their voices, ideas, and thoughts truly make a difference."
- Maureen Petricca, Schaumburg, IL School District 54 teacher

"My students learned so much and were deeply impacted by the adventures, investigations and discoveries. In order to make learning a long lasting experience you need to think “out of the box." Not only did we learn about the history and people of the Blue Zone, but we learned life changing lessons about fundamental scientific principles about aging, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and overall personal health and wellness. It was a huge eye opener for my students about their American way of life! The project was fun, inspiring, and one that moved both my students and parents. The adventure touched my students in a way that I would not have been able to."
- Peter Manzelmann, Friends School, Mullica Hill, NJ
