Silverback’s Note: For 12 years my former Public Relations professor at Hofstra University has been inviting me back to the Long Island campus for an intimate chat with graduating PR students.

During the peak of the pandemic in April 2020, I connected with the class to reflect on my life and career experiences as we addressed the challenges that lay ahead. In this engaging virtual fireside chat, I encourage the class on the importance of staying connected and the impact we can have on one another lives.

Welcome to the Silverback Unplugged.

“Neville has the unique ability to quickly garner an audience’s trust and meaningfully engage with people of all ages. Our students admire his candor, respect his willingness to be vulnerable, and appreciate that he speaks to them like adults and validates their complex emotions. Neville creates a safe space for all students to reflect and grow, and has helped me better understand what true leadership looks like.” - Mike Pavlis, 8th Grade Teacher, Brooklyn, NY
