“Cody Deaner has been the favourite keynote speaker at our Grade 9 Boys Conference for several years. He quickly captivates his audience with the stories and experiences he shares. Throughout his presentation, Cody encourages students to set goals, follow their dreams, and persevere when life throws curve balls. His humour, passion, and enthusiasm enable him to easily connect to the students he's working with. We look forward to having Cody back again next year!”

"Humble, real, relatable! Cody is definitely not a cliche speaker. He has lived what he is telling you.
A student commented: 'He's just like us!'" - Teacher/Advisor L.P. Miller Comprehensive School, Nipawin, Saskatchewan "My students liked how engaging he was; everyone was listening, paying attention and authentically enjoyed listening to him. They thought his message was simple and made sense. They really liked him! I loved how the younger students, who might’ve been completely disinterested with anyone else, were listening, entertained and couldn’t wait to meet him and get a picture with him after the presentation!" - Teacher L.P. Miller Comprehensive School, Nipawin, Saskatchewan |

“Cody’s presentation changed something in me. I’ve always wanted to be an actor, but never thought it was possible because of the small town I’m from. After hearing Cody’s story, I know it’s possible. It’s changed me. Now I know I can do it…because he did it.”

"Cody was one of the most impactful speakers I’ve heard! His ability to quickly connect with the students, hold their attention, and keep them engaged for the entire hour was most impressive. His message of going for a goal, working hard to get it, and helping others along the way is one our students will not forget! Cody is a ‘must-see’ for any student, but made a particularly strong impression on our young men."

“Wow. Cody is a very kind person. He was very interactive. I cried so many times through his speech and his breakout sessions. By far the best speaker I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. Afterward, I had a visit with him and I can vouch to say he is a very real, down to earth person who practices what he preaches.”
