Up next in the lineup is Jonathan Edison--M.Ed., a talented teacher and motivator with the proven ability to inspire. Using a combination of life experiences, education and old-fashioned high-wattage charisma, Jonathan empowers his audiences with success-centered strategies that not only help them through difficult times, but rebound to even greater heights.
Jonathan knows what it takes to bounce back from adversity. Born into poverty in Detroit--Jonathan's mother was removed from their home due to drug and alcohol dependency at the age of five. Three years later his father moved out. He was raised by his grandmother until she passed away when Jonathan was only 13. His high school years were spent living in the basement of his aunt's house, working full-time as a dishwasher at a restaurant so he could pay $50 a month in rent. Not surprisingly, he graduated from high school with a GPA of 1.63 and completed his first year of college with a GPA of only 0.86 before dropping out.
With the odds stacked against him, instead of submitting to failure Jonathan found the strength, determination and resiliency to rise above his circumstances. Caring mentors helped him realize he was worthy of success and he went on to complete four college degrees in Education and Leadership Supervision.
His most popular topics include 'How to Stay Motivated in Challenging Time', 'Tough Times Don't Last', 'Tough People Do', 'Change Makes Cents', and It Takes Teamwork to Make the Dream Work.
See him live at our speaker showcase on November 3rd at Bacchanalia!
