My 2024 Review: The Year Education Refused to Stay in its Lane!

Standing ovation at the National Speakers Association, dozens of new Catapult masterclasses and a proprietary hy-flex platform, packed rooms at Association for Career and Technical Education Vision, and trademarking “Make Education Relevant.” This was the year we proved that transforming education isn't just a dream, it's a movement gathering unstoppable momentum.


This year wasn't about me. It was about every educator who's ready to redefine what our student’s deserve. When I watched teachers and administrators lean in, hungry for encouragement and new approaches, I knew we were witnessing something extraordinary.


A few 2024 Highlights:


• Releasing "Words Are Your Superpower" video - further illustrating that storytelling can be the most powerful learning tool (https://www.kevinjfleming.com/wordsareyoursuperpower)


• Expanded Catapult masterclasses with Individual Access and brilliant thought leaders who are actually changing the game, not just talking about it. (https://www.catapultlpd.com/membership)


• Broader impact through my TEDx and publishing a free downloadable TEDx Implementation Guide (https://www.kevinjfleming.com/tedx)


But here's what really matters: We're not just creating resources. We're creating opportunities. Whether it was partnering with Henrico County Public Schools Workforce & Career Development, West-MEC, Paxton/Patterson - College & Career Ready Labs, Future N Focus (DBA Dream Catcher), or supporting the Los Angeles RC's 19 community colleges, every collaboration was about one thing - making education relevant for every single learner.


The numbers in this graphic tell a story, but the real magic? Watching an educator's eyes light up when they realize it is within their power to transform local mindsets, metrics, and thus every student’s career trajectory.


Looking ahead to 2025: We're doubling down. More masterclasses, more inspiring content that cuts through the noise, and deeper partnerships with institutions ready to reimagine career-connected learning.


To every educator who's been told "that's how we've always done it" - this is our moment. We're not asking for permission anymore. We're creating our future, one classroom and one partnership at a time.


Onward, Together!
