Guy Doud
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. "Guy's message touches the hearts and minds of all in the education profession. His message is delivered in a manner that is not only entertaining but thought-provoking and serves as a solemn reminder of why we have chosen this profession as our life's work."

"You should know that in the history of the Tri-District Inservice program, you are the only speaker to receive a standing ovation! Throughout the course of the day, the other presenters kept linking their information and observations to things that you said in the morning. Your presentation set the pace and helped us to accomplish the goals established for our professional growth."
