Sharon Gonzalez November 20, 2025 To Whom It May Concern: I am pleased to recommend Mr. Osmani Gonzalez for any speaking or leadership development engagement. Mr. Gonzalez presented on many occasions to parent groups at the school where I was serving as principal, West Hialeah Gardens Elementary, for well over 10 years. His ability to relate to parents, staff, and students made his sessions some of the most impactful we provided as an educational institution. In fact, as an involved parent himself, serving on the school's Educational Excellence School Advisory Committee and PTA Board, he truly had the best interests of our families at the heart of all that he did. Mr. Gonzalez brings a wealth of real-life experiences and a message that motivates action. His sessions are interactive, encouraging participants to reflect, connect, and grow. He truly embodies his message - "When You Show Up, Great Things Happen". Any organization looking for a dynamic and inspiring speaker will benefit greatly from Osmani's presence. He leaves audiences not only encouraged but transformed. Sincerely, Gain impaled Sharon Gonzalez Retired Principal - Miami-Dade County Public Schools
