2020 Negotiator's Symposium

Born, raised, and educated in Sacramento, Kevin Bracy, AKA Coach Greatness, is a motivational entertainer, executive producer, speaking coach, and the author of "Scared Great: How to Steer Your Fear Towards Greatness," as well as two youth books, “The Top 10 Tips for Teen Success” and “Greatness Leaves Clues”. Over his 22 year career, Kevin has been privileged to speak to millions of people across America. For the past 5 years he has been actively changing the culture of Northern CA school campuses with his R.E.A.C.H. One Alliance anti-bullying/character education program. 

As Sacramento's top anti-bullying speaker and the voice of KDEE's motivational segment, "Minute To Win It!”, he has made it his mission to “dream globally, but focus locally.” These days he invests his time between his family, his community, teaching a “sold out” spin class every Friday and Saturday, and speaking several times a week to audiences ages 4 to 80, encouraging them to be the greatest version of themselves and to positively reach out to one other person every day.
