"Calvin Wright… An inspiring, encouraging and committed speaker. CJ had the opportunity to talk with the youth at New Life Deliverance Tabernacle in Richmond, Virginia. He gave them words of encouragement to ensure them that they can accomplish anything; if you put your minds to it you can do it!. He shared with the young people how he didn’t always get things right, but he was able to change that situation around by not being a follower, but a leader. CJ gave the congregation words to live by to help build them as awesome human beings. Showing them how to build their confidence, commitment, and being able to prioritize what’s for them and what’s not! CJ reemphasize to the young people as well as parents, the change starts with you! Several young people with in a few Sundays made changes within their lives and receive baptism.
I do suggest that if you have not read this book, now is the time! “The Wright Step Forward” is an easy read. It’s also relatable! Thank you for all the incredible work that you are doing for our youth and our men and women of tomorrow."
"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. CJ Wright a couple of years ago. I invited him to be a guest speaker for our 8th grade graduation. Mr. Wright’s storytelling was so compelling. He shared highlights and challenges of his childhood and how he was able to find his way to be the coach, mentor, author, and public speaker he is today. The crowd was captivated by his inviting and down-to-earth personality. Throughout his speech, I watched the audience closely and Mr. Wright kept the attention of adults and students alike, which is no easy task. I would describe his message to students as relatable and thought-provoking, packed with positivity and hope. His speech ended with a roar of applause and many of my faculty members found me afterwards to compliment me for finding such a great speaker. Please don’t hesitate to invite Mr. CJ Wright for your next speaking engagement!"
"I had the incredible opportunity to have CJ Wright as the keynote speaker at the Student Council Association (SCA) Installation Ceremony at my elementary school in Hampton, VA. I cannot express how transformative his presence was for our upper elementary students, teachers, and staff. His motivational speech was nothing short of powerful and uplifting, effectively using our school mascot, the bald eagle, as a symbol of strength, perseverance, and the vision to soar to new heights.
From the moment he stepped onto the stage, Mr. Wright captivated our audience with his inspiring words and engaging storytelling. He challenged our students to embrace their potential and strive for excellence, encouraging them to “soar like an eagle” as they navigate their own paths. By the silence in the room, it was evident that both the adults and the children connected with his message.
In addition to his inspiring speech, Mr. Wright generously distributed signed copies of his book, The Wright Step Forward, to our teachers and staff. The book is a treasure of wisdom on living a full, meaningful, and prosperous life.
What truly sets CJ apart is his genuine connection with students. He took precious time out of his busy schedule to engage with them and answering questions, which left a lasting impact. His ability to connect with their young minds not only motivates but also empowers them to believe in their capabilities.
We are grateful for Mr. Wright’s visit to our school and the wisdom he shared about life to inspire our students (and adults) to reach their fullest potential. Thank you, CJ Wright, for leaving us all feeling uplifted, motivated, and ready to soar!"
