Convocation 2025 with Michael Bonner

Convocation 2025 with Michael Bonner

Moore Public Schools teachers returned for the 2025-26 school year during Convocation at Southern Hills Baptist Church. Renowned educator and keynote speaker Michael Bonner encouraged MPS employees to reflect, strategize, and act with purpose—unlocking new levels of effectiveness at work and beyond.

From his website, Michael notes that 21st-century skills must be introduced and modeled for teams to grow socially, emotionally, strategically, and psychologically. He empowers audiences to build genuine relationships, reminding them that, “You can’t demand a withdrawal from someone you have never invested in.” With his practical, hopeful approach, people leave more equipped, challenged, and prepared to be world-changing leaders and collaborators.

"STICK TO YOUR PLAN. NOT YOUR MOOD."
