Guy Doud
1986 National
Teacher of the Year and Motivational Speaker
Guy Doud grew up in Staples, Minnesota, where he
graduated from high school. He then graduated summa cum
laude from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota in
1975. Guy then moved to Brainerd, Minnesota where he was
employed by the Brainerd School District as a language
arts teacher.
As a high school language arts teacher in Brainerd, Guy
received the highest award that the education profession
offers: he was chosen from more than two and one-half
million teachers as the 1986 National Teacher of the
Year for the United States of America, and was honored
at a ceremony at the White House by then President
Ronald Reagan. This position thrust Guy into the
national spotlight.
Guy has addressed hundreds of groups since being chosen
America’s TOY. In 1989 he was a main platform speaker
for the Million Dollar Roundtable and was rated as one
of the top speakers of all time. He has addressed the
national conventions of the Rural Electric Association,
the National School Board Association, the National
Association of Secondary School Principals, to name but
a few.
Guy’s message deals with those things that are basic are
about life: love, family, relationships, success and
dreaming dreams. His message has universal appeal to all
audiences because he speaks about things of the heart.
Guy has published five award-winning books, including
the best seller, "Molder of Dreams", along with the
videos "Teacher of the Year" and "Classroom of the
Heart."
Guy received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from
Judson College in 1992. He lives in Baxter, Minnesota. |
