Grâce à l’alternance des messages et de la magie, il a su maintenir l’attention de nos jeunes et mettre de la valeur à notre colloque: Mon parcours, j’y crois!” , car il a su croire en son propre parcours de vie et nous démontrer que nous pouvons choisir sa voie!”

We would like to thank you for your presentation as part of the Career Day held at the Curé-Antoine-Labelle school (part of the Laval School Board). Your message was delivered in a language accessible to the students, and was able to let them reflect on their academic motivation and goals in their personal and professional lives. We are very pleased with the feedback received from students and teachers about your speech. Some even mentioned that it was the highlight of the day.

I personally attended your presentation and I thought you were simply amazing. I am delighted to be able to hear and see how your message was appropriate and exciting for our students. You really made them the focus, and made them think about the importance of respecting their fundamental values.

Our students enjoyed your conference very much. They found the content very interesting and appreciated your humor and your energy. I smiled when the veterinarian told me that he met a student who was truly surprised when he asked him: What do you like the least about your job?
For my part, I was more than pleased to see that the messages make our young, and not so young, reflect. You even made me question myself.

Your charisma, your humor and kindness are the qualities that were mentioned by several of our students and teachers!

Thank you and we hope to see you again!

Thank you for having been able to awaken the curiosity of our students and making them see the potential that each of them has within themselves in such an original and entertaining way.

Your presentation, filled with humour, magic and personal anecdotes, kept their attention until the end. We received nothing but positive feedback. The themes are directly related to their situations and allowed them to develop a new vision.

Many thanks from all the staff and students.

This is to congratulate you on your performance at the Quebec Week of Adult Learners (SQAF) which took place in Montmagny on April 6.

The senior management of the school board, as well as the senior management of the continuing education department, were very happy to see that the speech topic was so consistent with the theme of QWAL.

In addition, the magic illusions helped create an atmosphere conducive to openness and passion. It is with eagerness that I will recommend your motivational speech to anyone looking for an entertaining and spectacular speech.

I hope we have the opportunity to invite you back for another presentation in Montmagny.

Thank you again,

We had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Étienne Vendette at the Montignac high school during the student retention week. Dealing with a jam packed auditorium full of students in 7th, 8th and 9th grade, Mr. Vendette dazzled his audience brillantly. They were all attentive, captivated and impressed by both the messages delivered and by the magic presented. Teachers were not left out and I could see several taking notes while laughing quite a lot. Mr. Vendette’s motivational presentation fit well with the direction we wanted to give this student retention week: passion, enthusiasm and dedication. He delivered a key message in a very entertaining way.

It is with confidence that I would recommend this presentation to any high school wishing to demonstrate the importance of perseverance to its students.

As part of the Student Retention Days, we presented the motivational performance “The Magic of Success” by Étienne Vendette to our young students from elementary school (5th and 6th grade), and high school students.

As a speaker, he connects well with young people in a funny and spectacular way (using magic) but also with very motivational speech content.

The young people liked the presentation, and clearly understood his message. The older students thought the presentation was entertaining and motivating. Mission accomplished!

I received several comments from teachers following the presentation. Everyone agreed that it was a quality presentation, with content that is very accessible and relevant to the reality of our youth. In addition, you held their attention until the very last second. Teachers told me that this conference should definitely be seen by as many young people as possible and that they’ll love to have you back next year. It’s rare when everyone so unanimously agrees on something, so I thought it was important to mention!

On behalf of the entire school staff, I want to thank you for your commitment. We work hard because we believe that we can make a difference for these kids. Do not hesitate to keep us informed of your activities. It will certainly be a pleasure to welcome you back to Père-Marquette school.

On behalf of the Montérégie Leisure and Sport, and all the young people who participated in the Regional Leadership Conference on Saturday January 29, I wish to sincerely thank you for the motivational speech that you presented.

Motivating 80 teenagers on a Saturday morning at 9:30am was a real challenge, but you did it! The success of this eighth Regional Leadership Conference is due in part to the quality of your presentation. In total, 80 young leaders from ten high schools in the Montérégie region actively participated in the event under the theme “Young Leaders, Be Connected”.

For our Career Day, we were looking for a speaker that could capture the attention of our students, and to entertain them while conveying a message that would motivate them to be engaged in their future academic and professional life. Your presentation perfectly fulfilled this mission.

We highly recommend this presentation. It is entertaining and communicates a message that emphasizes the importance of being motivated in the achievement of our goals.

Bravo!

We wish to acknowledge the very positive impact that the two motivational keynotes presented to our students on August 31, for the Back to school day.

Your magic, humor and message generated much interest both among our students of all ages (both the first and the second cycle) and among our staff.

We would also like to mention your professionalism and attention with which you adjust your presentations based on the needs expressed.
It is without hesitation that we recommend your show for High School audiences.
We wish you the best in the future; keep sharing your passion!

It is with great pleasure that the students and staff of Impact High School welcomed Mr. Étienne Vendette, Speaker and Magician, on January 25th.

Using the story of his own life, magic and his great passion, Étienne Vendette was able to inspire young people to pursue their dreams and ambitions. Indeed, he explains that there is more than one way to be happy and successful in life.

As a motivational speaker who is very involved with young people, he quickly captured the student’s and staff’s attention in the first few minutes of his presentation with an approach that is funny, sincere, passionate, objective, intelligent, respectful and professional.

In addition, his versatility and the ease with which he communicated with our students who are suffering from severe learning disabilities made this event a success.

Our entire school team heartily recommends him.

“This knowledgeable performer knows how to juggle words as well as he can juggle objects. He knows how to communicate his ideas effectively and clearly; he is full of energy. We will have him back next year, for sure!”

“The students were enthusiastic and their comments were of admiration. All of those who assisted your conference were positively touched.”

“You knew exactly how to adapt your content for our students. Your message of motivation intermingled with your illusion tricks were well appreciated and presented with no condescension. Funny, captivating, exceptional were some of the words used by both students and faculty alike.”

“Alternating between more visual acts and humorous lecture segments is a winning formula. It seems that your themes of passion, perseverance, and luck were particularly touching to the audience.”

“Your presentation managed to touch on the exact message we were trying to convey to our students. The students were able to retain a positive message from your show. A follow-up activity showed that in their own way, each student realized the importance of perseverance in the pursuit of their dreams.”

“The 3rd year students as well as the faculty greatly appreciated your conference. The magic captured their attention and the messages that followed were well received. The students were very attentive; I was personally surprised. When they are fifteen, sixteen years old, it is usually not easy to get a message through to them but you did so in a remarkable way.”

 “The students, as well as their instructors were unanimous in their positive comments. Your magic easily captured the students’ attention but it is your words on passion, perseverance, and effort that were retained by all. Your professionalism must equally be praised and it is with great pleasure that we recommend your conference for an academic setting, but also for any other audience.”

“Without hesitation I recommend Mr. Vendette, who with his captivating words and magic tricks, was able to inspire our students to contemplate their futures.

Congratulations to Mr. Vendette!”
