Extra Credit : Dion Jordan

This was Jeff's extra credit assignment and thought I would look into this guy and and was so impcted by him and doing a paper on him as well. Dion Jordan was a African American male born in America disabled at birth from a complication to his legs leaving him wheelchair bound for the ealier years of his life. The affect this tragedy had on him was frifound and allowed him to persevere and become a true optomist which contributes to his success even today. He is a motivational speaker and has been awrded some of the highest awards for public services and achievements. He has been sought be athletes, professors, professionals, religious leaders, coaches and numerous others. I went to his website and looked at several talks he offered at different universities and lecture halls around the country. He talks alot about perspectives and how this one single thing in our lives has such a huge and profound effects on our futures and desirability of the future. He talked about MLK Jr. and attended many conferences on leadership sharing his views and insight to the real secrets of success in this world. He speaks about those past leaders and their shared vision through exemplary leadership skills and how gaining respect and faith through others with the change of minds and hearts with his perspectives. Dion Jordan is also a professional life coach and offers his services to professionals of of walks. His life coaching began with the launch of his company Dion Jordan Enterprises in 1999 and now had helped thousand personally and millions through his speaking and public service. He is a truly inspirational man and I feel a bond with this man through his talks because i once was in a wheel chair for a period of time in my life and understand his drives and views from being debilitated to empowered and how this transformation can spur a truly amazing drive.
